So, a good bit has happened since I last posted.

Found a house, made an offer, signed the contract, then withdrew the offer after an inspection revealed problems. Found another house a few days later, had a great inspection, and am now waiting around to close on it on April 28. It's exciting. I have one of my classmates to thank for getting me to even consider buying a house. He is buying one, and he told me how easy the whole process is. He wasn't lying. Now let's just hope I can find another roommate (or two), and things will by hunky-dory.

Spring break has been a blast thus far. Went to Destin and chilled there for 4 days at the beginning of the week, and have been having hanging out, doing a whole lot of nothing since I've been back. When I'm busy, I always long for the breaks, but when the breaks come along, I get bored unless I have a lot to do. Anyways, I'm excited for the next few months of school. I've never really enjoyed neuro stuff all that much, but I'm hoping that will change now that I have to learn it in a lot more detail. When I blink it will be summer.

I haven't been running much recently, but I don't mind it too much. Have averaged about 25 miles a week for the past month, and I've been lifting weights more. I'm thinking I'll take it easy with the running until about mid-June, then start training for the Chicago Marathon (Oct. 10). Who knows, though, I could get re-motivated again next week and start running more. I'm enjoying doing the heavier weights for now, but I know that's not good for marathon training.

Went to the free clinic today. We stayed very late (past 6 PM), but it was one of my best JFC experiences thus far. There were a lot of patients, but only 4 medical students (two M3s, one M2, and me) and 2 premeds (normally there are 12 to 15 med students). Sooo, I ended up seeing a few patients all by myself. It went great with the patients, and I appreciated the fact that the upperclassmen medical students trusted me. I'm not sure if I was even technically allowed to do that, but nobody wanted to be there until 8 o'clock, so they said okay. Good times!
