I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here's a quick recap of the last couple of weeks:
1. Halloween was rather laid back; we had candy set out but ended up eating most of it (read: all but one piece) since the tenants downstairs took care of all the trick-or-treaters. I saw a guy riding a bike in a chicken suit. No helmet.
2. I shadowed a team of medical residents on their clinical rounds in a pediatric oncology ward. More on that later.
3. Happy Diwali and Saal Mubarak!
4. Took another midterm (genetic analysis) that I didn't finish (I don't think anyone else did either), and handed in another midterm for cancer biology (take home!)
5. Happy birthday Mom!
6. I got a care package from home filled with Indian goodies. I had to fight with the post office to get it though. More on that later.
7. I was sick yet managed to remain almost asymptomatic the whole time. Weird.
8. One of my professors bought me coffee soon after I let him know he missed, for the first time in 15 years, his All-Stars session (a bi-weekly seminar for BioMed students where faculty present their research in hopes of recruiting grad students to their lab).
9. As I held the door for a gentlemen who was leaving the bank as I was entering, he countered my attempt with the line, "Oh no, beauty before age, beauty before age." It made me smile.
10. I baked cookies and made some Indian dishes.
11. I've got real Thanksgiving plans for the first time in years. I'll be heading to Hope, Illinois (near Urbana-Champaign) to spend the weekend with Kevin's family. It's going to be awesome!
12. It's cold. And dark...early. Welcome to Winter in the Windy City!
