  • More from Downtown Chattanooga

    More from Downtown Chattanooga

    I took a bunch of pictures in Chattanooga, but since we’re going to be here in Flagstaff a second night (and the time change wakes us up early) I think I’m going to have the time to process all of them. There are some beautiful buildings and artwork in the city; somehow I made it through the…

  • From Arkansas to Texas

    From Arkansas to Texas

    Yesterday we successfully made it from Arkansas, all the way through Oklahoma, and into Amarillo, Texas. We got some pictures of the trees disappearing, and at least one of me where I would appreciate it if you would ignore the multiple chins.

    Exploring Downtown Chattanooga

    After recovering from the delicious lunch, we spent Wednesday evening exploring downtown Chattanooga with Jason and Kaylin. I got a few decent pictures of them and us loving on each other and standing around the lovely buildings. There were a bunch of people playing and swimming in the fountains. Perhaps it’s because I think of Baltimore’s Inner…

  • Three Out of Four

    I had my third of four med school interviews at Penn State University today and I left quite impressed. I felt like everybody there was really going out of their way to make the interviewees feel welcome, an attitude that sets a positive atmosphere right from the start. Both PSU and LLU structured their interview…

  • The New Happy Couple

    Last week Rachel and I made the approximately twelve-hour (including stops) journey to the Ooltewah, Tennessee for my best friend Jason’s wedding. This wedding was especially momentous for a number of reasons: my friend of twenty or so years was getting married, I was his best man (as he was in my wedding last year),…

  • Thanksgiving at the Beach

    I went away from both home and Maryland for the Thanksgiving holiday for the first time in my life. It’s always interesting to break away from the regular and try something new, and in this case I think the experience was a good one. While it was obviously too cold for swimming (even though Rachel…

  • I’m Back

    I got in at 2:00 am EDT today. Aside from the fact that I missed Rachel every minute of every day, the trip was awesome. I met a ton of great people and had the opportunity to participate in a number of unique experiences. Some of the medical related highlights included the anatomy laboratory at UCSF, where…

  • National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine

    The title’s quite a mouthful, isn’t it? But that’s where I’m headed this weekend: San Francisco, California, where I’ll be staying for ten days. I’m excited/nervous about it; I’ve had the chance to meet a bunch of the attendees online beforehand, but the worst part about it is that I’m going to be away from Rachel. Even if…
