So, while I’ve done quite a bit of tinkering with the site, and paid for another six months of service, there has been little updating of the content. At least, in my not terribly humble opinion, the site looks good and check out the new Continue Reading bit:;-) So, while I’m sure I can find tons of stuff to write about (such as hookworms… I’ll get to that later) I let this languish in internet hell. Google has somehow spidered the site, though you’ll only find it by searching for fryingrhino… In the interests of actually updating with information, let me update my current school status: My Grades so far:

Fall 2005: A, A-, A, A, A (woot!)

Spring 2006: A, A-,A,A (woot again!)

So, at Utah I have managed a 3.925 GPA, which I am happy to take. Despite all my efforts to sabotage myself, luck and the God of the Really Bad Class Curve have been very kind to me. Combined with my transfer credit (stupid, nasty ‘C’ in MATH 1010) I’ve got a 3.8, which is right where I need to be.  The hardest thing is the amount of time it takes, though I have spent FAR less than my professors keep insisting is necessary to pass. Mostly, I’ve just done without sleep in order to have enough time in the day to do homework and watch the couple of TV programs that help me relax. 

Fun things like Golf have pretty much been out the window (managed one game in between Spring and Summer semester) and my son has told me that he wants me to hurry and be a doctor so I can come home sometimes, poor thing.  The good side of all of this is that I REALLY appreciate those days that I have completely off. Working and/or going to school seven days a week is harder psychologically than I thought it would be, though you do kind of get used to the rythm of it.  I’m really excited to get into the thick of it when I can quit working (go Mica!) and focus on what I need to do. I’m seriously stoked with the idea of getting involved in some form of research and have done some heavy geeking out to surgical videos and medical news, etc. Thankfully, I really enjoy it, much to the boredom of those around me… Anyway, Since I’ve paid for the site again, maybe I’ll get up the energy to write some serious stuff… well… we’ll see.
