Hello people:
A lot has happened since my last post here is a sampling:
1. I finished my first year in medical school. It was fun, and that's all I got to say about that. I am already looking forward to next semester. At this rate these four years will fly by and I will finally have a real job.
2. I started my summer job. I am doing stem cell research in one of the labs on campus. I have always been fascinated with stem cells so I thought I would take the opportunity to work with them this summer. UW is a center for stem cell research, and they have four of the original federally funded stem cell lines. What I will eventually be doing is giving mice heart attacks surgically, injecting the hearts with mouse embryonic stem cells (don't worry no human ES cells, even though I live in Madison I am not that big of a pagan yet), and looking to see if the stem cells play a role in repairing the ischimic tissue. I have been working for three weeks now and I have basically sat on my butt in the library reading papers the entire time.
3. Rochelle and I got our wedding invitations out! That was an ordeal. We (I mean Rochelle) made our invitations so it was a lot of work. She is so good, I can't believe all the time and effort she has put into the wedding. I am a pretty lucky guy. I can't wait to get married-friends, family, fun, and finally doing it-what more can a guy ask for.
...In other news. I learn a lot by reading other people's xanga. Here are my a few things I have learned this week that I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for xanga.
1. I learned that my friend Brandon got his wife's name tattooed on his rib. That I think is the greatest idea ever- its Biblical.
2. I learned from the Martins that there are still stupid people out there that interfere with good parents trying to take care of there babies (changing/feeding). That is one thing Europe has on us. In Europe people don't care if your kid runs around naked pooping on the beach. It is natural to take care of a child's needs anywhere the child is public or not.
3. I learned that Jon and Kara got engaged. Cool-Congratulations
4. I learned that people I know have pretty cool lives
