Bluetongue Encounters of a Third Kind

Did you see it on the local news?

An alien sighting!

On a brisk Alaska night in Logan, a picture was taken capturing this alleged extra-terrestrial. Eye witnesses said that the alien attempted to communicate with them, but the language was strange and archaic.  The alien figure resulted to grunts and rudimentary hand gestures that worked surprisingly well.  This alien pictured below was said to have admitted to performing research on Earth's biosphere, in particular the Bluetongue virus. After a brief encounter, the figure quickly wrapped up, sampled the subway sandwiches and punch at a nearby buffet, and then went on it's way. 

The extra-terrestrial's location and motives are still unknown, despite his hours of powerpoint presentation editing and preparation.

Thanks Mel and Haley for coming to my research symposium!  And thanks Haley for snapping this pic where I appear to be something from either the black lagoon or an episode of x-files!

Wiki quick fix...

A comment I made on Monica's blog sort of annoyed me. The fact that I'm a leech when it comes to wikipedia is so true. I am to lazy and uneducated to contribute to one of my main sources of information (don't tell my research professor that). Wikipedia is a great tool! So I took it upon myself to edit the vasovagal syncope page of wikipedia. Well, I only changed two things... The treatment of the phobia. It was easy, and I took some web pics with the cool apple-shift-3 key-stroke on lappy. In case any of you are dissapointed with any particular article on the famous wiki here are some quick steps to counter the flasification of information:

1) make an account (cause you don't want people tracing your grammer errors back to your computer's invisible bread crumbs).

2) find the page that is in need of repair (Check George W's, it gets fixed daily).

3) make the revision (basically I just used the other guys format and cut out their words. I love cut and paste).

4) save it!

Easy as pie.

Here is my new and improved vasovagal entry in wikipedia. I'm going to ask my acedemic advisor if I can add this to my resume!

One Down...!

Here's the big blog post every one was waiting for....

Last week I interviewed at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, KCOM.  For those that don't know whereabouts the US Kirksville is located, it's in Missouri.... About 3.5 hours away from any town.  The interview must have gone well, because on wednesday morning they called and accepted me!!!  Wahoo!  Thanks for all your prays and support.  Although it's the first of several schools I hope be accepted to, life is a lot less stressful knowing we have one choice thus far.  The school was really exciting!  And I hope that if Mel and I decide to be relocated there, Aleesha won't be hatin'... Gotta love yo.  Plus, KCOM's program is really cool.  We'd spend two years in Kirksville, I'd be hitting the books year round, then we will go to some clinical position for two years!  There are many clinical positions here in Utah, so we'd be back for sure.

Now, Leesh, if that doesn't make you feel any better about us moving, check this out:  Next friday, I'm interviewing at the University of Utah's School of Medicine!  Both Mel and I are excited for either school.  We'll keep you updated!!!

Historic Locker (2004)

Its been awhile since I blogged. With school and medical school applications and interviews, life has been getting a little crazy. I just wanted to send a shout out to all you Napoleon Dynamite fans out there! I was in Preston Idaho for a USU Openhouse, and I had the fortune of standing in the hall and next to the very locker Napolean was pushed into! I snapped a quick pic and went back to recruiting.

This marks a moment to be remembered in history!

You'd think that going without a new post for this long, I'd have something grand... well, if a trip down dynamite lane didn't get your bag of chips rattling, then just wait for what were mustering up for the next blog post!
