Emenius Sleepus

Here's a crazy little piece of information for you.  The average human circadian rhythm isn't actually 24 hours, its 25 hours (variable and with rounding).  That means that naturally your body wants to go to bed an hour later then the night before and hence wake up an hour later as well.  If it wasn't for light our bodies would continue this pattern all the way to resetting itself 24 days later.

Reintroduction

HELLO WORLD!!!!!  I’m back.  According to the great blogging community known as Xanga I haven’t written a blog post since May 1^st, 2007.  I actually didn’t mind Xanga except that it wasn’t the most aesthetically pleasing website and because of that, along with the fact that the 4 people I know who still blog use blogger, I figured I would switch to it as well. One thing I am really hoping to get out of blogging again is taking pictures and then posting some of them on here.  I figured the 2 people who may actually read this may also want to see some of the things are going on in my life.  I used to take pictures all the time and loved it but over the past couple of years I have taken about 5 that weren’t with my camera phone and it makes me sad not to have photos of the many amazing adventures I have been on during that time.

Obviously a lot of things have happened since I last wrote a blog entry 4 years ago.  I think the 2 biggest changes in my life is that I am now engaged and also in medical school. In a couple months I will also become a married man.  I love my fiance and there is no one I want to spend the rest of my life with more then her.  She has a wonderful family as well so I won’t have to be regretting the visits to and from the in-laws as well.  Maybe if you are all lucky I will get her on here for a blog post or two or who knows maybe I can convince her to start her own blog.

As for going back to school I am really wondering which blow to the head when I was a child made me crazy enough to think this was a good idea.  Being here has made me realize how much I really hate school and makes me wonder if I chose the right career choice for myself.  But at the end of the day I know that I really do want to be a physician and I actually really do enjoy the clinical classes we take (hate the science ones though).  It also doesn’t hurt to remember that between Allison and I, we are already $130k in debt after one year and I need to get through this to just make a dent in that.

Now, if you’re ready, take my hand and join me on this journey.  I promise that it won’t be one you will regret.

P.S.  While writing this post I took a massive dump.  It was the first poop that I have ever taken that actually clogged the toilet itself.  Normally if I clog it it’s because of the toilet paper as well but this one was strictly the turd.  It made a nice horseshoe after coming out of my butt and that was unable to make it down the toilet.  So I probably should go and unclog that.
