The power of orange adobe

On my ride to class this morning, these shadows on the orange adobe made me stop.

The colors of the sunset tonight look this orange as well.

In-between these two oranges was another day of learning - this time the library! (so many resources) and adrenal hormones (so many enzymes..) and team learning on liver disorders...whew!

Night Fishing deserves a quiet night

Sushi bar at night because I am too tired to drive to grocery store, come home and cook. Met more faculty today, ordered labs on our 'patient in a coma', talked at lunch about the risks/benefits of being married in med school...agreed that someone cooking for you was one of the main benefits...(if you can get the kind of deal). No storm, yet, today.

Little House in the Monsoon

Every afternoon this week, the sky clouds up and, after sunset, we have a torrential downpour, thuner and lightning. It is a fittingly dramatic backdrop for the otherwise sedate opening to medical school, which is, after all, life-changing. We began with proteins and nitrogen, ipads and small groups and the case of an unconscious 20-year old woman.
