TGIF!!! Another Week Sneaks By!

School is back under way again. I just finished my first full week, as we actually began on a Wednesday the week prior- a short week indeed. Things are moving so fast (I'm suddenly slammed with reading and I've got a shit ton of physics review problems to muscle through), I'm still trying to get a rhythm and find my footing! My schedule is constantly changing. I missed my first lab day for my positioning class, due to the sudden need for my presence at a new employee orientation meeting at the San Mateo Medical Center. My truancy in the lab class got me, as I had a meeting at another hospital on Thursday, where I had to demonstrate my knowledge of how to operate the X-ray tube over a table! Things really aren't that bad. I'm just about caught up with everything. After a weekend of reading, I'll be back up to snuff again.

My clinical rotations start right after Labor Day and I am psyched! My wife just purchase a second pair of white shoes for me, thinking that it might be nice to switch off every few days, so my shoes won't stink so bad. I got a pair of Crocs Bowen sneakers and I must say, they are pretty darned nice! They are soooo light! They're claimed to be less than 10 oz. per pair! Nice and simple. Very comfortable! Plus they're cheap!! We got them on sale for $30! I'll give it two thumbs up!!

Let's talk beer! I couldn't wait, so I opened a couple of the beers to see how they're coming along. Just shy of two weeks in the fridge, the beer tasted great! Nice IPA hoppy flavor, but not too strong. It's got nice color and texture, and just a hint of orange- just the way I wanted it! Right now, the only real detraction is that there's too much carbonation. When I opened the beer, it foamed out of the bottle for a few minutes before settling down. Ironically, the name of the beer is the IPA Orange Hop Bomb. Funny! I think that a little more time in the fridge should serve it well and the foaming will be averted. I'll check it out in another week.
