Ah, the shame!
Ok, I admit it! I am a huge Star Trek fan! You may all stone me now! Anyway, I just got season 6 of DS9 last night and have been in ST bliss ever since (DS9 is a seriously great show, especially after season 4). The Dominion war is one of the coolest story arcs ever conceived for a primetime, hour long dramatic series. The actors are also simply incredible. Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko) is perhaps my favorite actor. He is really good. So is Rene Auberjonois (Odo). He played the preacher in "The Patriot." Wallace Shawn (Grand Negus Zek) is always hillarious. He, of course, was Vizzini in "The Princess Bride." Anyway, if you've never watched this great show, I highly recommend it.

I had to register for classes yesterday. I'm glad that I got all the classes I wanted this time. This past semester I had to take what was left as most of the classes were full. My advisor is a practicing Radiologist at our local hospital, so I decided to ask her some questions as to what I can expect from my classes next year. It turns out that I will be spending most of my "schooling" next year as a practicing radiology tech at the hospital. I guess it's sort of like being a resident (basically working for free while you learn).

So she was going over the particular duties we will have as residents working at the hospital when I heard this. "....Also, whenever they call us to the morgue, we all go down there to help out....." I was kind of half listening to her at the time, but for some reason that sentences stood out, so I asked her what she meant. "Well," she said, "often times we have to X-ray the corpses in the morgue to determine cause of death."

She went on to say something about having to move these corpses around to get the pictures and that they are usually very stiff by then. All I could think of was that I will be doing this in less than a year! I guess entering the medical field I should have better prepared for this eventuality, but it never really crossed my mind. The thought of handling dead people is not at the top of my list as "things I can't wait to do," however, I must admit to a morbid sense of curiosity that exists in me to see what death looks like.....

I don't know, I guess I'll just have to wait until next year and see what happens. Hopefully it won't be too overwhelming for me.
