Home sweet home

I thought I'd stop by the blog just to check in before I completely let myself go.  I am currently sitting in a comfy chair in front of the TV listening to music while the dogs take a nap.  My dad is painting a wall, my mom is out running errands, and my sister will be home any minute.  The best part is, there is not a single powerpoint slide in this house right now and I will make sure it stays that way.  Dermatology was a great sequence for me and ended nicely with a fun birthday.  For the next 10 days I really won't do much but I'll definitely be ready for the last lap of the pre-clinical years of med school come early January.  Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to go crack a Red Bull and watch my dogs run in their sleep.  Happy holidays!
