Summer.
Summer Break is here… and I have been busier than ever. Every day has been filled with meetings and errands. It’s been hectic, but it’ll all be for something great.  More to come soon.

Undergraduate Experiences.
A nurse called me over to some charts and said  “Doctor, look at her chart” I don’t know if this was a dream come true, or my worst nightmare.

Dr. 2: We make a great team.
Dr. 1: Yeaup, we do.
meals are times for complimenting each other... and anuses.

Things are finally starting to pick up with people around me being excited, and getting contact with outside orgs to support us.  So far we are still at our beginning stages, but one valuable lesson I learned is that when there is something you care so dearly...
