Who has two thumbs, a mustache last quarter, and is skipping physiology lecture?

Ok, so the thumbs are missing from the picture, but you can guess I still have them. Otherwiseallmywordswouldruntogether.

So I'm using the time I saved by skipping physiology lecture and studying on my own (approximately 45 minutes) to update my blog with some random bits from the last little while.

Medical school

It is still good. Difficult. Exciting. Cadavers smell bad. I drink too much coffee. Stay up too late. blab lba blab bla bla.

Skydiving:
There has been very little of it going on recently. Last quarter I went once at the beginning, waited two months, then went again during the quarter break. Waiting two months between jumps on an A-license is no bueno. I showed up at Skydive AZ only to discover that I had to do a recurrency jump with an instructor before they would rent gear to me. After several hours of waiting for a free instructor and $200, I finally jumped once and then had to head home. It was fun, but way too costly in time and money - kind of frustrating. I honestly don't know when I'm going to be able to do more skydiving (aside from Christmas break), so I may end up doing more recurrency jumps....

Ultimate Frisbee Tournament
I went to Tucson for Hoasis last weekend! I've never had so much fun playing ultimate frisbee. We played 7 games and only won once. Doesn't sound good, but considering this was the first time many of us had competed, and the first time we had played together as a team, I thought we did pretty well.

Now that I try writing it out, my life sounds pretty boring. I'm really enjoying things, strangely enough. I'll be heading back to Utah for Christmas and a few days, then it's back to AZ for the remainder of this crazy quarter.
