no baseball until April.

guess i'm gonna have to buckle down w/ studying...sigh.
at least next year it'll make a lot of sense b/c then i can study for the boards in a sort of peace...

this weekend, i attended the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine.

i got to cast an arm! and remove it!

and get my own arm casted...

there was also a workshop on suturing...pig's feet were available for practicing on...

and a workshop on circumcision...no, i don't know what they practiced on...

WE WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!

i feel like the world's got to quit turning or SOMETHIN'

it's unbelievable.

favorite play: when Johnny HOMERED as the first player up at bat...

DUDE...how can you not win when JESUS is on your team!!!

we win GAME 3!

we almost shut them out!

highlights...

gettin the out at home base.

watching pedro try to hit.

and then when he walked. hahahaha

what a blast!

tomorrow i'm off to prayer mtg in the morning. you can bet your beans we're praying for the sox.

GO RED SOX!

I STILL BELIEVE.

we take Game 1! bellhorn homering?!

we take Game 2! an unassisted double play?!

let's repeat these feats in St. Louis!!

GO RED SOX!

i dunno what i'm gonna do when there's no baseball for 5 months...

study, i guess...

WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

SCHILLING's pitching tonight!

it makes me a little nervous. a tendon injury is not something to laugh at. and this is NOT the time to take gambles. But Schilling loves being a red sox, so we'll give this a gander. let's just take it in 9 innings, buddy.

i gotta get back to studying NORMALLY.

and being mentally and emotionally stable.

GO RED SOX.

14 innings!!! unreal.

i *heart* big Papi...

15 innings would've been ridiculous.

this really needs to get resolved because i need to buckle down in the studying...

we have an exam this friday...

C'MON BOYS!

12 innings...

WHY do we play at 8 at night?

don't they know i have class the next day. a marathon day nonetheless.

it IS fun to be in New England though.

Major Points for big Papi's 2-run homer.

it's agonizing. I can't stand to be swept, but on the other hand, I can't stand to be on this lingering edge of my seat deal. Seriously, this is starting to take a toll on my physical and emotional well-being. But so long as we're still in the running...

GO RED SOX!

I still believe.

double play.

ugh

it's ok, we'll take them tomorrow, boys.

what an absoluely frustrating game...

why can't they start these games at 7?! don't they know a girl's got to get to bed. especially NERDY girls...

but here i am...suckered into the ninth inning...

C'MON BOYS!!!!!

and the free food is flowin'

and we have a mouse in the house.
i HATE mice.

RED SOX SWEEP!

but those darn yankees are up next...

this is the year!

i feel it.

i really do...

we take the 2nd game!

i'm so proud. :D

yesterday was seriously a marathon day...our professor proclaimed it so.

BUT i managed to score a free veggie sandwich in a wheat pita.

AND my new housemate is really feeding us well w/ Indian homecooking...

she's got skills. we'll keep her.

RED SOX TAKE THE 1st GAME!

9-3!

TAKE IT AND LIKE IT!

but it DOES help to have schilling pitch. the man is worth loving.

Go TEAM!

for the first time, cape cod is the warmer place to be.
used to be that traveling from philly to the cape meant going to colder weather.
but no, when you're in VT, almost everywhere is warmer.

At any rate...here come some insights from this weekend in no particular order:

Traveling is fun. traveling at 95 mph is even funner.

Ben and Jerry's is good. Communal Ben and Jerry's is even better. Just people, spoons, and the ice cream. Pass the Phish Food.

Red Sox are fun. Red sox with other red sox fans is even funner.

Friendly's is good. Friendly's with Mr. Youd is even better. ;D

Homemade apple pie is amazing. Homemade apple pie w/ vanilla bean ice cream and fresh raspberries for BREAKFAST is even more amazing-er.

Dissecting cadavers is pretty neat. Not smelling like embalming chemicals for a couple of days...even neater.

Waking up is good. Waking up at 7:45 instead of 6 is even better.

Sleeping on a full sized bed is cozy. Sharing it with your two roommates is VERY cozy.

Almost full moons are lovely. ORANGE almost full moons are gorgeous.


Finally...tomorrow we start the FIRST play off game against the Angels...everyone, say your prayers.

meanwhile, i regret that i cannot post more...because i think you'd all LOVE hearing about anatomy lab and how GREAT I smell these days. i will try... ;)
