Hi!
Tomorrow I leave for the motherland for six weeks. Ten days after that, I'll start med school. And today, I finished Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (These events have importance of equal magnitude.) I did find a place to live- it's 5 minutes from campus and across the street from a coffee shop. It will be so strange not to be a commuter anymore. Also, I'll be living with Meredith, giving me ample opportunity to change every aspect of her personality, something that's always been a goal.
Books I've finished:
The Hunger Games trilogy - Suzanne Collins
Just read the first one if you're interested. The second two are terrible. Movie out in spring 2012.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stiegg Larson
Um, really disturbing. It was well-plotted, I guess? No real interest in reading the second two, but I'll watch the movie (sensing a pattern here)
God is Not Great - Christopher Hitchens
Look! Non-fiction! So I haven't exactly finished this. I'm just over halfway, and it's really interesting, but will I get anything new out of the rest? Advice/input welcome.
Books I'm taking tomorrow:
Living Dead in Dallas - Charlaine Harris
Christine - Stephen King
The Kid - Dan Savage
Books I'm not taking:
Anatomy textbooks. This is probably foolish, but I couldn't find something light enough, and surely my cousins have some.
This brings me to the next point. There is sure to be more family drama than usual this trip (wedding!). But I'm really going to try to get along with everyone and keep a smile plastered on, at least until July 15th, at which time I'll sob through the last Harry Potter movie.
ALSO. I'm sorry, I had planned on writing a real post about healthcare reform, which I feel obligated to know about in some sort of thorough manner. But frankly I haven't yet read enough analysis or done enough of my own thinking to be able to write intelligently on the topic. I'm taking a bunch of articles and readings with me to further this goal, and will probably post from there once in awhile.
So in conclusion...uhh...write to me on the internet, yeah?
