This is the song that never ends.

As promised here I am to write again on the blog, this is 2 weeks in a row, I'm so amazing. Especially because of the name of this post. I bet you started singing it over in your head huh? Anyway, big thing of the week was going to watch WWZ with Kristen Saturday. After weeks of chiding her and teasing her about it(she didn't want to see it) she finally gave in and went with me. I guess I went and saw enough horrible movies with her that she felt compelled to go watch it with me. About 30 seconds in she was cringing. 2 minutes fingers covered her eyes and ears. After that it got better(ish). Now at night I whisper things to her about zombies from the movie and it freaks her out. Last night was ..."they're attracted to noise... shhhhhh". Other than that it was a slow easy week with only 3 days of work due to the 4th of July. So we wached some movies, didn't go to the 4th of July breakfast because she slept in after the flag ceremony and was too embarrassed to go in a little late. Hubble got stung by a bee or something this week when he went outside with Kristen one day. She said he swelled up a bit, but I didn't see anything. He is always at the windows yearning to go out and have the freedom of outside. Whenever we open the doors to go outside he is always trying to escape. But when he gets outside he'll sniff around everywhere but is afraid of everything out there. Cars, dogs, ppl, anything freaks him out. A real scardy cat. I've seen a few members of the church here in the doctor's office. Which is weird, due to HIPPA I can't communicate with them until they talk to me first etc etc outside the office. Other than that I've seen a lot of allergies, uncomplient patients, have done a lot of OMT for Dr. Baxter probably because he wants to go on and see more patients and not get too behind. I did get to go drain a mucocele from a guys foot... it was pretty nasty, all this clear junk came out, lubricant like, very slick stuff. I've seen druggies and then watched/heard that they had to go to the ER within a few hours after see us from mixing medications and drugs or too much drugs etc. I went in with one, got her history etc etc etc, came out and was talking to Dr. Baxter. He told me to follow into his office where he showed me her nicotics history... hundreds of pills mostly given by a OB/GYN who knows why for "pain" so basically he said no to her lol. I was suprised that it appears to be so prevelent etc. Very sad. Drugs are a big problem around here in Astoria. For the 4th of July Kristen was like let's go to the beach afternoonish... afternoon rolls around and it's grey and cool and not the beach time she wanted. She made up for it by telling us we'd go Friday. Same problem... Finally I was like, let's just plan on going to the beach one day when we're free and it's actually warm outside. So basically who knows if we ever go to the beach or not. she wants to go but there isn't really much. I'm currently in the process of buying a new phone. Since I'm in rotations now, we've finally caved in and got a smart phone. It'll be for the applications and quick access to doctor stuff that I need. Dr. Baxter is already teasing me about how any books I carry around are outdated and that electronics are the way to go. I wish I could just do that, however we're poor and in school blah blah blah, so I'm slowly working on the cool stuff all the kids have. Since we're married we need to be more careful about what we spend money on. We're not single like all the other students who can just blow all their money on liqueur and cheap sex and cool gadgets. Oh well I think that's all for this week. Let me know if you guys have any questions/ comments etc... I'll talk to ya'll later

OMS II

Back from Utah and Texas with all the craziness that they both entail. Just a heads up Hubble is huge. Guess that the dewormer is working because in the last 2 weeks, it seems that he has double in size it seems like. As well as getting super frisky. He no longer sleeps in my lap it seems after he goes and runs around everywhere. Sam finally got married, although if you are reading this, you probably went to it since ... yeah, if you read this and you aren't related to me with a double X chromosome let me know, I think that would be interesting. Andi's wedding was long but fun, he had a good time and didn't do too badly, although his wife can be a bit ... how should I say this: My way or the highway attitude. Reminds me of someone ;) Sam actually went to riodizio's with Seth last friday night and they didn't even invite me, and I was 15 miles away. So so so so stupid. I have degraded Sam's wedding present from something nice to titanium sporks. First day of class and so far I think I'm about caught up! I know first day and I'm rolling. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up until the end, with a test this monday, yes I know so soon, I don't want to get behind. Currently studying the endocrine system starting with the hypothalamus and pituitary areas. They've actually mixed things up a bit here, with a lot of pre-recorded lectures and independent study time. They are encouraging us to lynch, email, or call the professors for help as well as use the online boards. So anyway back in Utah, I went and visited Matt and his house for a bit. They got into MTG(Magic the Gathering). It reminded me of the fun that you get when you're single, have hobbies etc etc etc. I want to have hobbies too but we're super poor and anyway I don't have anyone to do hobbies with at the moment. Somehow I think that Kristen isn't the most interested in modeling or cards or anything like that. So I will wait and watch for my time till I get to the point that I unleash the full fury of my intelligence... I mean something else but oh well. Well class is over for the moment so I'll sign off now Zac

1 Year Done

Finally drawing to a close, at least for now. It was a bad weekend/week as Kristen watched me slowly go crazy until they posted final grades out for this last test. But all is well in Lebanon for now. Still getting ready to get ready for OMM rehabilitation so to speak. We'll see how that goes. Other news from Oregon, we lost our last game of soccer so basically we went 0-8 I think. But we were close some of the times, if our guys could learn to play a little more coop and less FIFA2012. I'm glad to have gone to the keeper position so at least now I always get some action. My group at the medical school have all gone their separate ways and so it's pretty lonely over here. I go to the school occasionally because I can and what else do I do really? Yeah we'll see. I do get some sun every now and then. On the high note bought Diablo 3 yes I know bad games so inappropriate. But at least Kristen said I had to wait till after school was done. It is done so I have it now. I play with friends I have. And Jacob, I've seen him on once or twice. Anywho not much more going on I think. I'll let you guys get back to what ever you guys are doing.

Of the beginning of days

If you got that quote, my hat is off to you. Anyway as anatomy has come and gone, the stresses of school sometimes overwhelm. Starting this blog will hopefully channel some of my pent-up aggression and stress into a more appropriate outlet. It seems like for medical studies you go from no information and 0% difficultly in learning material to overload of information and 100% difficulty. Learning from past mistakes, hopefully, I'll keep up with the material better. Don't know exactly how I feel about this new MCBM class. No accountability like the quizzes did for us in anatomy. 6 hours, on average, sitting in class is also kind of painful. Especially if you're like me and sleep easily. So AMPs might become my new best friend at 10 a.m.

I don't have much to write for now. This is a new experience for me so I'm starting off easy, but don't worry it'll start pouring here soon
