From the bottom of my heart off the coast of (South) Carolina...


Who sings that song? Anyway, that's where I'll be for a least a few days in June. As of now, I'll be there Tues-Thursday night (June 26-28). Wish it would work out for longer, but that's all I could work out with flights. Hopefully we can get a few more people down there though! Who else is coming?? Sam, Ted? Jonathan, cmon.....bring Meryl!! Chris, what's a job, really?

Anyway, haven't posted in a while. Here's a quick update on my life. 3 more exams to go this year....I cannot wait to be done. I defiantely like it and it's interesting stuff (right now we're doing Neurology and Psychiatry), but I'm sick of listening to doctors give lectures and studying in the library 24/7. Don't get me wrong, I find the time to have fun to, but I"m kind of done with school. Want to do something that feels a little more productive. And that'll all start this summer, after boards. Boards are basically the worst exam imaginable. It crams everything we should have learned in the past 2 years into one test. I'm studying 28 days straight for it...8 am -12, hour lunch, 1-5 every day. What is that? It's almost like having a job, which is ridiculous at my age. But, after that I get a few weeks off and then start actually doing rotations in the hospital. Not sure what I'm going to start with, probably internal medicine or surgery. Get the hard stuff over with. Alright, I'm starting to bore myself, so I can't imagine how you feel if you've been reading this whole thing.

On to a more interesting topic: S---E---X. Well, that was just to get your attention, but speaking of sex, I am dating someone now and it's pretty serious, especially for me. It's about time. For those of you who I've told you can skip through this, but it's kind of funny how we met. I was on winter break and flying back to Philly from Florida on New Year's Eve. I was sick as a dog but determined to go out because I had bought a ticket for a party/open bar and one of the bars downtown. My flight was delayed, which destroyed my plans of taking a long nap so I'd feel better, so I just had to pump myself with drugs and leave as soon as I got back. This bar, called Club 27, such a ridiculous name, was not exactly the nicest place I've ever been to. It was OK, I was having a good time and drinking plenty, but still I've been to nicer places. Anyway, after midnight (not sure exactly what time) me and a friend saw a group of females downstairs on the dancefloor, so we went over to them. I busted out my awesome moves, and how could they resist? Later, Kate (my girlfriend) told me they were the most ridiculous dance moves she had ever seen. Never thought they would land me a date. So, after a few hours of dancing and frivolity it was time to go. Me and my friend offered to walk them back to their car (one was sober, so they said) because they parked pretty far away and Philadelphia can be not so safe when it's late. It started to pour raining and so I carried her, piggy back style, most of the way. The whole time she kept saying she would buy be dinner since I carried her to her car, which I didn't believe. But....we ended up going out the next weekend where she did buy me dinner and went out a bunch of times in Jan before she went back to school. She's in grad school for creative writing at VCU and I've been down there twice to visit, so I guess you could say things are pretty serious. (Movie?)

So, I'm definately happy and doing well. I can't wait to see at least some of you in June. And I'll try to post more often, although I can't promise anything.

I added a updated picture of me, just since it's been a a while.

Later y'all.

-John
