11 weeks down. In anatomy we have already covered upper extremity, lower extremity, thorax, abdomen, back, and by the end of next week the perineum. Thats a lotta shit! our last unit is head and neck. In physio we are learning about cardiophysio and surprisingly there is a good amount of formulas and what not, bummer. Also EKG (ECG) arent that easy to understand, easier to read tho. Biochem is pointless as of now just random crap like Krebs cycle, glycolysis, lipid metabolism, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis etc. Biochem Test on Monday, then anatomy the next monday, then physio the monday after that and we get a break for a week and a half...whewww wish me luck on this crazy schedule of mine. sucks that every test has over 150-250 pgs of notes on it not to mention the book readings as a supplement which i only read for physio..yikesss

Somehow some way i will get by, Previous goal: 4.0 Current goal: 3.5 =)

A very simple solution:

Instead of buying a 2000+ dollar TV, i am just going to Slingbox Tracy's tv and watch all the rockets games/espn whenever i want in my room on my 22" LCD monitor. Why i didnt think of this before is beyond me, since i already knew such technology existed months ago. For u newbies that dont know wat a slingbox does it pretty much allows me to hook up a device to a TV whether it is in houston or FL, and watch it on my computer, PDA, smartphone, etc. while im in FL. I will be hooking one up during Thxgiving and my rockets bball/ESPN craving shall be satisfied. Since i wont be buying a crazy TV, maybe i can buy that cell phone, or a new laptop..Hmmm wat to dooo

Also, xmas vacation is still up in the air, so far it looks like chill in houston or go to NY

Im now in the 10th week of School..and im definately getting the hang of this. Albeit ive pretty much guaranteed that i will NOT get an A in 2 of my classes. Thats ok tho, im banking on board scores to get me the residency i want which at this point looks like anesthesiology, emergency med, internal med. Black october is in full swing, I just took my OPP test (did good) have a histo test next monday, biochem test the monday after that, anatomy the monday after that, physio the monday after that...i said jigga wat?!??! Then i have a biochem test the monday b4 i head home for thxgiving..but me and my friends are thinking of going to key west after that big round of tests..and own it...should be damn good.. Also a ritual i have after every test is to play ball, usually alone because apparently noone at my school plays at the same time as me, o well. i cant wait to get back to H-town, mmm lucky pot beef noodle soup...ok i go sleep..nitey

Ive gotta OPP test tomarrow, yet im still posting..mainly because ive been thinking alot about getting this tv: 46" LCD goodness with an awesome contrast ratio for an LCD



2200 shipped =/

The thing is..i dont watch THAT much TV..But since bball season is coming closer and closer i would really like to have ESPN HD or something of the sort. to watch the highlights of the games instead of watching the full games.. I hope that if i do decide to get it that 1) it will not make me broke and 2) make me NOT fail out of school

PS. HAPPY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TK =)

Wow its almost been a month since i last updated: Time flies by when it constantly feels like you are preparing for finals (even tho im only taking regular tests) As u guys can imagine i have been pretty swamped and it doesnt get any better. Black october is finally here and no it has nothing to deal with awesome prices on electronics that you have to wait in line for starting at 5 in the morning. Black october is where we have a minimum of a test per week (this week i had 2) and noone usually has time to go out. Overall things are good and I still like my school and my classmates so im definately not complaining on this end. Tracy came up this past weekend and time seems to stop when im with her, and all i ever care about is pleasing her and making her happy. We celebrated our 3 year anniversary which is Technically on the 9th of october, o well close enough.

She gave me this watch:



I like it alot and all i could get her was good korean food and sushi in miami which was decent. Time seems to be flying and before you know it i'll be home for thanksgiving with the family.

Some random stuff that i want or have been thinking of buying: i need a pda functional phone by next year
HP ipaq 6900: gps + bluetoof + pdaphone + qwerty + wifi + shitty battery =(



TRUE VIDEO IPOD: (fake pic) Prolly due out by xmas time
