where I am

There are not many degrees left in the air here, the sun comes and goes so quickly and un-heat-ily that it reminds me more of an old refrigerator light than anything else. I woke up at 5am the other day for a plastic surgery meeting at the hospital to a sky full of stars, woodsmoke, and a razorblade crescent moon. It is beautiful here, if brisk. Right now I'm behind a mound of papers and books in the library ready to make the push to finish my first set of final exams. yesterday I spent 7 hours in the anatomy lab, and 4 in the histology lab, all consecutively. plenty of sleep and food and hot chocolate though so I'm actually having a good time. I wouldn't say no to a national holiday involving food and napping though.
