Happy Valentine's Day! I can't say I love the colon as much as the heart, but that's what I've been learning about the past couple weeks now.  It's actually very interesting because a ton of doctor visits are due to gastrointestinal complaints.  And here we get to learn about them.  Nice.  We also took our CCA exam recently which allows us to move on to M3 year.  Yet another milestone before boards and before we know it, the learning curve will be reset once again as 170 short white coats migrate into the depths of the hospital--which I am actually looking forward to more than words can describe.  Don't get me wrong, school is great, but after 6 years of intense classes I am more than ready to break up with PowerPoint for a while.  I've been hitting the music factory pretty solidly too the last several weeks.  I love to compose music and it adds much needed balance to my very busy life.  It's also great to be able to share something so important to me with others.  I was raised as a classical violinist but I also like electronic music.  And somehow I keep trying to mix the two.  But talking about it is no fun so check out my website!   http://soundcloud.com/daveranney
