i think my brother and wife are moving here in the next couple of weeks. this info is from my dad so i don't know 100% that it's true but my brother flew done there this week and interviewed for a position with the USPS and was offered and accepted the job. he gets home today so i'll have to call and ask him. the syracuse airport is shutdown due to weather so he's flying into rochester and getting bussed home. if he does move there i'll have to go visit for spring break or something.

Congrats Jer!

i gotta catch you all up.

about that systemic path precourse quiz; i got 16/50 right and i needed 15 right to get the full 10 points so i just made it. 16 was a common score i saw.

on wednesday i had a followup appt. w/ dr. smith to see what i could do to help assure my neck wouldn't get any worse. it still isn't 'normal.' it's uncomfortable all the time but bearable. he said i wouldn't/shouldn't do any strenous exercise and that's basically a lifestyle thing. he said i could do some light jogging, biking but in an upright position (not on a racing bike) and swimming but w/ a kickboard or backstroke type stuff so i'm in a straight alignment opposed to the front crawl where i'm constantly twisting my neck. that just really sucks since when i graduated i was going to spend most of my free time training for triathlons: particularly working up to the ironman. also jen's husband james has been bitten by the triathlon bug and he's preparing for his first one this coming season. now i want to train with him. i've been going to the rec everyday doing some running but only a couple miles or so and i've tried pilates twice now but i don't think that's the best for my neck. also dr. smith mentioned doing traction and there's at-home machines you can buy but they're close to $1000. i already have had to pay over $1000 for my xrays, mri and other costs because of my neck since my insurance sucks. i'm quickly running out of money and i still owe $2000 for afrivet tuition and another $2000 or so for flight there and any extra travel we do. i think i'm screwed. i'm also running out of credit to charge things.

last night a bunch of us (nina, jen, james, rebecca, dan, krista, maria and i) went to see lost in translation at the student union in forum hall for $2. after that i went w/ nina, rebecca and dan out to eat some breakfast. it was a fun time.

this morning i got up to feed the dogs and then to the post office to mail something i sold on ebay and then to the grocery for superbowl stuff for tomorrow, we're going to rebecca and dan's for that and now i'm at java studying.

every time it seems i go to java i run into a professor. this time it was dr. ross from physiology last year but i didn't say anything to him. he was with his son and others discussing their sailing club or something. he's a big sailing guy i know because he would mention it a lot when he taught.

I'd rather have a terrorist standing next to me than a Frenchman. (~15 min. later) Oh, I forgot about that, that's another reason I don't like the French, they eat horses.

Think about it. Sometimes people are just destined, destined to do, what they do. And that's what it is. Now everybody dance.

Justin Timberlake, Hottie!



Even in medicine, though it is easy to know what honey, wine and hellebore, cautery and surgery are, to know how and to whom and when to apply them so as to effect a cure is no less an undertaking than to be a [veterinarian].
