Update continued...

The next morning, Wednesday, Meg and I set out to drive to New York where we'd be taking a flight out to Paris. This went, of course, not without a catch. I had taken my car in for an oil change and tune up in preparation for the trip a week prior. They suggested the power steering and transmission be flushed as well so I had them do that. Later we realized they hadn't changed the oil we had originally gone to have done, however, exams and packing put it out of my mind until just as we were finally ready to leave for NY. We looked up the earliest oil change place that would be open and stopped there on our way out of town. Lo and behold, as we waited the guy doing the oil change came in holding a palette with a sample of my power steering fluid (black) next to a sample of what it should look like (pink). What gives?! I just had that flushed less than a week ago! When we get back into town I will have to go ask the first car place about this but it seems awfully suspicious to me.

Besides the catch with which we started our trip, the rest of the way was a rather uneventful but enjoyable ride listening to audiobooks. Those things are the friend of any long car ride!

We actually didn't go straight to New York but stayed with Meg's uncle's family in New Jersey. They dropped us off in NY the next day so we could catch a bus to the airport. It took us an hour wait just to get into the city! Couple the traffic with how expensive everything is and I am not sure why anyone would want to live there. I think I am a medium town kind of guy. Phoenix may be big but at least it isn't crowded like NYC!

I have a definite allergy to dust or whatever is related to dust, like dust mites. As soon as we sat down on the plane I couldn't stop coughing because of a tickle in my throat. At first I thought it was the heavy cologne from one of our fellow passengers but finally zeroed in on the airplane blanket I had already draped on myself. As sooon as I took it off, the coughing ceased! That's happened to me before trying to sleep on old carpet and I think it is the same reason.

Update (boards, school, moving, travel)

Okay, so I admit I haven't been posting much on my blog for the last few months - even though things have been happening that are blog-worthy!

To start with, I spent the entire month of June sitting in a coffee shop studying for Step 1 of the D.O. and M.D. board exams (COMLEX and USMLE respectively), which represent the cumulative knowledge I supposedly gained during my two years in medical school. I took my USMLE exam on July 8th and the COMLEX on the 14th of July -I passed USMLE!!! However, this being the first year that COMLEX was administered electronically, they will not be getting us our results until the end of August so that they can have a good enough sampling of exams to calculate percentile scores. The rumor is that people who took their COMLEX at the end of July were scoring much higher than those who took theirs in early July (where does that put me?) - whether they simply had more time to study or because there was too much communication with those who had just taken the exam, I don't know. Sounds like they have a very complex system to score these things.

Because they gave us a month to study for said board exams, our summer semester was VERY short (although not short enough most of us would say). Our class is the last of our kind, as starting with next year's class, they now commence medical school during the summer and are done with the sitting for boards - none of this mucking about for an extra month afterward! ;o)
Nonetheless, even with full blow senioritis, I managed to pass my short summer classes. It helps that I had already learned some of the material seeing as how we had to study it for the boards we already took... that's a definite plus to the next generation of med students after us at our school; they will have finished all their courses and will have covered all that material BEFORE boards.

We took our last exam and I turned in my school mailbox key last Tuesday. Then I went back to my apartment to hurriedly pack up all my stuff (during the hottest day of the year so far in Lansing, much like their winter days are not) and move so that I could check out before the rental office closed for the night. We piled boxes of my stuff in Meg's parent's garage as they were kind enough to let me keep it there for a few weeks and so ended this two-year chapter in my life.
