Ah, Friday! I'm so excited that I get the whole weekend off. I haven't had this much of a break since Atlanta. And I'm going to take advantage of it. Tomorrow I plan to take a day trip to Yosemite. It's about a four-hour drive from my place, but I don't mind driving. And since it's winter, it will get dark early and there's no point in staying after it's dark, they don't shine a giant spotlight on Half Dome or anything, so I will be home by a relatively reasonable hour. I don't expect to make an entry tomorrow though.

For Christmas I received Tim McGraw's newest CD. I haven't had too much of a chance to listen to it, but from what I've heard, I like it. There aren't any songs on it that make me cringe and hit the skip button. One of the songs is actually a remake of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." I didn't know that it was a remake until this morning when someone mentioned that on the radio. But I did notice that it's not Tim's usual style. I don't think I've ever heard Tim use falsetto before. I was just thinking, though, since Tim redid one of Elton John's songs, maybe Elton John should redo one of Tim's songs. Imagine the Elton John version of "Indian Outlaw." Hee hee :)

This rotation has been such a vacation. I was done with my work this morning by nine. Seriously. I have other projects to work on, obviously, so I wasn't bored, but I was done with the stuff I had to finish by today super early. This afternoon I'm running a journal club session for the students. These students are such whiners. I didn't realize it until they came back, but the two weeks when the students were on vacation were really pleasant. I mean, I like most of the students well enough, but they are just so lazy. Even when I am doing stuff to help them they complain about the extra work it entails. Sometimes they make me want to throw up my hands and say "Fine, fail the board, doesn't matter to me." But I don't. I try to be accomodating. The student I'm working with now on GI Surg is very...hmm...let's just say she either hasn't quite mastered the English language or she has an inadequate grasp on reality. Or both. But either way, I wouldn't want her to be my pharmacist.
