Eight Good Years

It recently hit me, just how close I am to graduation — I have exactly one month before our commencement ceremony. In between today and June 7th, 2007, I will have to deal with moving out, with finals, with saying final goodbyes, with my friends graduating and my not being able to attend.

I am of course looking forward to hearing Bill Gates and Bill Clinton (our commencement and class day speakers!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!) , and I am looking forward to Senior Week, and I am looking forward to returning to California — but a real chapter in my life is coming to a close — the end of my upper education, and the real beginning of my life as an “adult” (whatever that means…)

To commemorate, I’ve decided that everyday between now and June 7th, I will make a post about some aspect of the past 8 years of my life, in no particular order except for how it strikes my fancy (blogger tag: EightYears).

After which, I will probably re-cast this blog for the next stage of my life — but that’s for later

Math on a Snake

I was walking outside yesterday and I was amazed and very amused at what I saw — you are the uber nerd if you get it:

Scrubs: The Real "JD"

I recently had the chance to interview Dr. Jonathan Doris, a medical consultant and namesake for the Zach Braff’s acclaimed role of John Dorian (J.D.) on the TV show Scrubs. We discussed how he got involved with the show, what medical consultants do, how realistic (or unrealistic as the case may be) Scrubs’s portrayal of medical life is, what his favorite episode was, and some of his thoughts on medical school, residency, and being a doctor. I had a lot of fun talking to him and, suffice to say, if you’re a fan of “Scrubs”, want a reason to start watching, or if you’re interested in medical training from a real insider’s perspective, check it out!
