Med school and family stuff have been keeping me fairly busy. It feels great to be done with the first "block" of material and well into the second. Studying is becoming more routine, although I certainly could always study more. My family has adjusted to my new workload as well. I'm picking up some additional research work that I can work into my schedule. I think it's important to do research to be exposed to cutting edge work and perhaps even contribute to the advancement of science and medicine. I like the people in med school (students, profs, etc.) more than I though I would ... they're smart and fun to hang out with. Well, I need to get back to my many tasks.
As an aside: Internet service: We depend on it these days (especially med students). I tried AT&T Uverse and thought it would be pretty nice. Sadly, it has been totally unreliable for me. Every month (for about 4 months or so) there way some kind of major failure, usually requiring a replacement of the residential gateway. I'm finally switching back to AT&T DSL because the situation has become intolerable. I'm going with DSL instead of Comcast Cable (which I actually also have as a backup) because it turns out that Comcast throttles their download speeds. If you download a large file (document from school), Comcast will intentionally make the download speed slow to keep their system running well; that's not nice. DSL is much faster as a result.
