coolness

many people are familiar with michelle's blog.
i like to say (because i'm proud) that i went to college with her. she was a 4th year when i was a young 1st year living in Beebe. in fact, she was my peer premed advisor and to this day, i distinctly remember how cool her dorm room was decorated... with lights and fabric wall-hangings. she is now in the process of writing a book!

now it's confession time... i've always had a secret dream of writing a book. maybe it's a common dream amongst those of us in the medical profession because we encounter so many STORIES every single day while doing our job. and it's such a different life (and lifestyle) than most other jobs (what i refer to as "normal jobs"), that i feel compelled to want to write something one day and try to convey what this is like, being a doctor and all. not because it's a glorious job, but because it's actually not always that glorious at all!

i have a minor in english and i used to be able to write half-way decently. i also used to read a lot. it makes me sad that these are all things that i USED to do.

top on my list of things i need to pick up again... reading, writing, and playing the violin!
