CMA Performance

Kellie Pickler got a little emotional when singing the song she wrote about her mom. It would be nice if more "American Idol's" would write their own.

Medical Library

From intense studying over the past few months, I found myself getting a touch of cabin fever. I took that as a sign, and I decided to take my studying elsewhere. I wish that I could abandon it for a few days, but even if I did, I would follow me like a ball and chain. Then at the same time, less than excellence is not an option.

These pictures are from the med school library. It is a change in atmosphere for me, but long-term commitment in this setting cannot be good. This study area is located downstairs in the basement. No windows, no sunlight, and no life. It was good for me. It helped me concentrate, instead of being stuck between the same ole walls of my apartment.

I will probably return here. I think another good thing about it is no cell phone reception, which decreases distractions further. As I take my studying on the road, I will write about my experiences, boring as it may be. It is the only stimuli that I get these days. If you think it's boring, how do you think I feel?

Deck the Halls

The Christmas season has strolled upon us. Tis the season of endless traffic and crowds. I hope everyone can look at the big picture instead of the consumer approach.

Happy Holidays! I know it is my favorite time of year.
