Return to the Nest

Not ready for classes to start up. Then again -- I don't have much of a choice . . . Monday will be an 8-5er.

Spent a large part of the summer forgetting everything I learned over the past year. (Well-- not everything.) It just seemed to go so quickly . . . which is sad, considering it was my last extended vacation for quite awhile. I wish I'd done a little more that was medical-related -- I can't say I'm not jealous of my peers who delivered babies in Ghana -- but I'm also really glad I spent some good quality time with friends and family. Totally worth it.

The drive back to Philly wasn't as bad as the drive to Indiana... Kitty behaved himself really well -- mostly. Aside from nearly jumping out the window at a stoplight -- I had to yank him back by a hind leg -- he mainly just napped in his carrier. (First time I've seen him enter his carrier voluntarily... Can't say I wasn't shocked.)

It's time to get back to work. First stop: infectious disease.
