Marisa wearing skates in style!
Derek and I had an Ice Skating birthday party at the Burlington Ice Palace:
Check out Derek's girlfriend modeling her lovely skates. (Don't worry Marisa, I won't tell anyone that the skates didn't stay on too long :-p)

Steph gets married
Ok, so Steph is the first of my high school friends to get married and to start a family. Congrats Steph!
... now I'm officially old!

Orientation take 3!
Ok, so here I am in my first week at MGH and my third time going through the orientation process: highschool, college, and now this... I'm a pro at meeting new people now :-p
Actually, this orientation has been really different since everyone comes here with such different backgrounds. We have some right out of college, a professional dancer, a lawyer, an engineer (ok, that's me), and people who worked for non-profit for the past 5+ years. Very interesting, fun group. So far, we've had all the faculty introduce themselves, toured the school and hospital, and recently did an "Amazing Race" around Boston yesterday... I think there are pics of that, so I'll try to post me and my team, The Professionals. :)
Today we are headed to the dissection lab. We have two classes this summer: Professionalism, and Gross Anatomy. My friend Ainsley has warned me that the dissection lab takes some getting used to and I'm hoping I don't get sick or pass out!

Back in Boston (part deux)
I just logged in to my gmail account after being offline for the week I was in Florida and I have 69 unread messages!
I plan to try and back-post the pictures from SF and tails of FL, etc. Right now it's 1 am and I'm just getting into bed after racing home from the airport. Brian and I managed to chase after 3 trains, ride up and down at least 7 escalators and trek up and down 2 sets of stairs with bags weighing in over 50 lbs. You have to love Logan airport and all of the inconvienent ways to get to and from there! Believe it or not they have made another T adjustment that makes no sense: It turns out they are installing new state of the art ticket machines to help elimate tokens and the T employees that take too much time to count them. A great idea, however, this new ticket system has only been deployed on the Blue Line and the $5 ticket Brian was required to purchase to get on the subway at the airport cannot be used on any other line currently. Well, the ticket is valid till December 2006....
Anyone care to wager on whether or not Brian will get to use that ticket on the redline? What's the current over/under on Boston mass transit project deadline slips? 2 years? 10?
