I think it's time for an update, not because I have any interesting news to report, but because I want to stay in the habit of posting regularly. Maybe once I start school I'll be able to bore you with all the cool, random little details I'm learning.

But anyway, I'm just sitting at work listening to Hillsong. They're great. I have their entire discography on my laptop :-)

It's a slow day here in the office, so I'll probably end up spending some time preparing for class tomorrow. My dilemma is this - I'm trying to make class more interesting, but how do you go about teaching students the origins, insertions, actions, and innervations of muscles in an interesting way? I found some mnemonics that I believe they will find helpful, but I'm looking for other stuff as well. If anybody has suggestions, they would be much appreciated.

About a month to go until Belhaven students have their final exams. Nobody seems to be too stressed at this point in the semester, but maybe that's just because I mostly hang out with people who don't take their studies seriously. Come to think of it, I've never really hung out that much with pre-meds and others who are highly driven academically. That's going to be an interesting adjustment in med school. It's not that I dislike hanging out with people who enjoy studying, I just haven't done it all that much. Maybe it's because I don't like study groups.

I had a good, hard 20-mile run yesterday. It was a marathon simulation run, so I did it at a 7:15 pace. If I do the marathon at Nashville at that pace it'll be a 3:10, and I'd be fine with that. But since I did that run yesterday in sunny 80-degree weather on tired legs, I think I might be able to go a few minutes faster than that. It'll be a fun race regardless, and the trip will be awesome. About ten of us are driving up there, and I can't wait! 19 days to go...

Intramural indoor soccer is in full swing at Belhaven, and that seems to be the talk of campus. I think both of my teams (mens and co-rec) have an equally good shot at taking the title (and with it, the t-shirts). We won our first mens game 13-1 (against the team that beat us in the final last year), and we were taking it easy on them. I like to win, but that was just an ugly game all around. I felt bad.
