Housekeeping

Well, I really don't have that much to report. I'm just plugging away at the clinic. Getting ready for college and trying to have some fun. I did do something exciting and very interesting yesterday.

Because my sister had flute camp, my mom, Mariah, and I went to Powell's Books yesterday. I really have a hard time coming up with a better way to spend an afternoon then surrounded by books. Granted, there are a lot of them I really wouldn't be interested in reading (namely, the romance section and gardening section), but still to be in a place with that many books is just exhilarating.

I came home with about four new books (and a fifth, that I promptly loaned to Mariah). Three of the books are about medicine. Mostly virology and other interesting things. One of the books was another in my long line of "Band of Brothers" books. This one written by one of the original Easy Company men that happens to be from Oregon.

(I know that most girls are not that interested in things like Band of Brothers, but I really can't get enough of history, mostly war history that is. I actually had a very nice conversation with someone at dance tonight about band of brothers.)

Oh, I guess I really got six new books. I also got a book about the top medical schools. I can't believe that I have to start thinking about medical school right now. But I only have a year and a half until I take the MCAT so I do need to start looking into my options. My dream school would be OHSU. They are one of the best schools for what I want to do, and they have an amazing program that I love. I just hope when the time comes I can get in. (But really that isn't my department, I just have to do the best I can, the Man Upstairs ultimately has the final say).


Cheers!

Amendment 2: I like to call these kinds of posts "housekeeping Blogs". The things you have to say at some point, but really aren't that interesting to hear.
