life in a small town

By catdynamics on April 1, 2007.

I don't know which is more annoying - seeing blue & maize clad athletes carrying another enormous trophy away from Penn State on the plane (well, two, actually, apparently, for men and women's gymnasts); or the fact that it even crossed my mind to care what team won a sports competition...

There are real benefits to being at a university where you know sports don't matter at all, ever.

As for the guy who was disappointed when I sat next to him instead of one of the female gymnasts: he was wearing an OSU sweater, she was UoM - ain't gonna happen...

I was also reminded of why I never fly out of Philly if I can help it.
Worst layed out airport ever. And the flight was of course delayed. No first officer.

Somehow it also always rains when I arrive in Chicago.

Did I mention I hate travelling?

The glamor of surgery (Part 1 of an occasional series)
Nonmedical people always seem to have a conception of surgery as being a particularly glamorous profession. So did I to some extent before I entered medical school, although my surgical rotations quickly disabused me of that impression. Somehow, working from 5 AM to 11 PM every day and several…
