Ad-ventures

Just a brief update. All the pictures I took of my house and school were apparently done with a bizarre blue-shifting camera setting activated so that's my excuse for not posting them. They make the Vermont sky look more radioactive than New Jersey's.

In other news, yesterday I went blue and raspberry picking with my associate Kendrick. We plan on making enough jam to last us the winter but only if we can find straw hats to wear. The last few weeks have been pretty productive culinarily. The beer is bubbling away in my basement and I think I finally worked out how to make a solid loaf of bread using the jimmy rigged equipment currently at my disposal.

On the medicine front, school is still chugging along towing me behind it. More quizzes next Monday. Not too much else going on. The leaves are beginning to light up and I can almost hear the hum of the great canadian snow machine preparing p to unload on Hanover in the next months. Overall a pretty good state of affairs.

Directions to the THouse

895 Five Corners Road
Thetford, VT

Take I-91 North to the next exit above Hanover/Norwich (14?)
Turn Left off the exit ramp onto 113
Stay Straight for about 3 miles passing Camp Farnsworth, The Historic Barn Museum, the crappy town center of Thetford featuring decaying general store gas station,
Finally, Turn Right onto Five Corners Road.
895 is on the left about 1 mile down. If you see a shooting range you've gone too far.

wish I was joking...

Still Alive

Hey all,

Just finished my second round of quizzes yesterday. Not so bad actually (though I don't know the grades yet so that assessment may change). Not that much happening other than school and occasional diversions involving yeast. One exception is the Harpoon Brewery event tonight in Windsor, VT.

looks promising.

That is the auspicious number of photos composing the entirety of the visual documentation of the Not Un-greatest Trip Ever, and each is now online and accessible at this address:

As almost-always, I am sitting in class, Biochemistry, not paying a whole great deal of attention. After surviving the Quizzes last week, I spent a good deal of time decompressing. This past weekend was an extension of that down time. Most of it was occupied with cooking, baking, building an immersion cooling system for brewing beer, and propagating yeast for my next batch which will be an interpretation of the historical forerunner to Bock beer. The history of said beer is intertwined with the soap opera of Continental History and involves the Hanseatic League, 30 years of warfare, and a runaway master brewer.

In other news, schoolwise, I began gross anatomy dissection last Friday, and this Wednesday will spend my first afternoon with my clinical preceptor in the Dark Green Heart of Vermont. I've ordered a pink bow tie to wear for the occasion.

My next immediate concern regarding this blog is take photos of my house and school buildings etc and post them as some people might find them interesting.

Just lovely

doing fine. First set of quizzes went well, though I don't have my grades left. The weekend visit to the NYC area was wonderful. Nikki and I ran around, covering a bit of ground between New Jersey, New York City, and Bobilink. In class right now, planning a big picture upload of middle period Eurotrip shots.
