Well, today was my first day of class at BSU. I totally felt like a freshman again, walking through the campus with my eyes searching desperately for the Multi-Purpose Classroom Facility, my mouth slightly open, and fear on my face. It really brought back some great memories from old KU. I've determined that I'm not entirely ready to be a student again. Other than a lifelong student, of course. Whatever the hell that even means. So, I found the building (it was right where I thought it would be) and sat through the obligatory syllabus/schedule first class of the semester. The only snafu was that I'm not on the roster for some reason - it's odd because I'm definitely enrolled in the class... I'm sure it won't become a huge hassle. Nothing like this ever does. Oh, and there will be weekly problem sets in my Cell Biology class, which marks the first time I will do homework since...
Well, tomorrow I'm going to observe a Deep Brain Stimulation surgery. Should be pretty sweet, though I'm not sure how much I will actually be able to see. Tim and his PA, Brian (who's a super nice guy) explained to me the nuts and bolts of the surgery today - as you might expect, it's pretty fascinating stuff.
By the way, one of the most annoying things in the world - my aunt and uncle have their dogs trained to poop in a certain area of the yard, but they have to be monitored to ensure that they don't go rogue and poop everywhere (the sidewalk, people's beds, etc.). So, it's pretty frustrating when they insist upon sniffing every square inch of the poop area and spinning in circles about 750 times before they do their business. But you can't really rush them. All they know is "No!" and "Come here!" - neither of which is helpful in this instance. It makes it almost worthwhile, though, to see the guilty, ashamed look on their faces as they defecate; you dog owners know what I'm talking about. I like to watch them while they do it, even talk to them so they know I'm there. They should be ashamed of themselves. Learn to use a toilet like the rest of us, seriously.
One last bit, I finished my latest powerpoint lecture yesterday. This one is about CSF fistulas; CSF is cerebrospinal fluid, which, according to Wikipedia (the world's most reliable resource), is a clear bodily fluid that occupies the subarachnoid space and the ventricular system around and inside the brain. A fistula is basically an abnormal connection between two vessels or between a vessel and the outside (like a leak), so a CSF fistula is just where CSF is leaking somewhere it shouldn't be. By the way, I might sound smart (and I am learning a lot), but I'm not. I still like playing video games and coloring.

Think of it this way: Your aunt and uncle's dogs are better trained than the tods in China (btw...that's the shortened word for toddlers).
