Time is a sneaky mistress. For most of school thus far, any kind of ending has been far off in the future. The slippery and fluid nature of time has changed that. As things currently stand, two weeks of regular lecture, a final exam, a pharmacology shelf exam, and about 250 drugs are all that stand between me and the halfway point of my medical education. Such a time crunch might, as one would expect, explain the severe lack of blogging accomplished by yours truly.
For this I apologize, but sadly, school and all of its craziness take priority. In the mean time I hope everyone else enjoys the spring for me. I'll see you for a week and a half in the summer. (For fun, check out the new countdown at the bottom of the blog.)
Until next time.

The Future!
It seems as though my time as of late has been dominated by thoughts of the future. What do I mean exactly? Many things.
Concerning literature, I pretty much read like I'm tearing up the TRON universe. By this I mean I now have a wicked sweet Kindle. While I was formerly a staunch advocate for physical books, I now realize the utility of possessing what amounts to be a Hitchhiker's Guide in my bag (Seriously. Wikipedia and free international 3G? You come up with a better way to describe it). I'll never give up physical books; the weight of the paper and smell of the words are too wonderful, but the sheer ease of reading and on the go access to my library act as a nice addition to my bibliophile-ness.
With school, our attention has been forward-focused on the looming mammoth of Step 1. The first of three nationally required licensing exams, Step 1 is an orgy of all the medical information we've learned or will have learned or will have supposed to have learned over the first two years, all condensed into 8 hours of mind-numbing goodness. Who has two thumbs and is pumped? This guy.
The final sign that I'm obviously future bound? I wrote this whole post from my frakking phone. What?
Until next time.
