I survived the Histology final (barely) and was able to spend the last few weeks back home with friends and family. I had a great holiday season, and I want to thank everyone who made it special.

Matt came to Minneapolis for New Year's. We had a good time, and we even got some stuff done on the wedding. We are now registered at Target and Herbergers. Hopefully now we can get the bigger stuff (menu, invites) out of the way.

Classes started on Monday. So far, so good. I found out that since I am an MD/PhD student, I am exempt from the Microbiology lab. I am going to skip it in favor of my lab rotation. I am really going to enjoy micro though. The verdict is still out on neuroscience.

Well, I need to get some productive stuff done tonight. Derek might come to town tomorrow for lunch, which would be awesome since I haven't seen him since July!
