15-foot trampoline = life is good

Well I'm back from the lost land of boards preparation & am ready to move on to my 3rd year clinical rotations.

During the past month I:

1) Studied my ass off. Learned a lot. Integrated knowledge I'll need to become a competent physician. Excellent.

2) Went 6 days without going outside. Three times. Not good.

3) Went __ days without a shower. Too many times to count. New low.

4) Spent $10 on highlighters. They kept their bright-color-fade-free promise. Good.

5) Realized I've gone 6 months without a haircut. Not so good.

6) Chose a warm shade of yellow for the walls in my new apartment. Very good.

7) Lost my appetite for food. Not good.

8) Lost 5 lbs, mostly muscle. Bad. Muscle is good.

9) Ordered a 15' trampoline for the backyard. I've been making giant trampoline plans for my future backyard since 2006. Dream come true.

Thanks to everyone who sent support, prayers, & good thoughts my way while I studied. I realize there are many, many more important things in the world than my board study and I appreciate that you guys took time to think of me.
