Happy holidays everyone! I have done nothing this break save for relaxing, eating, and exercising. A wee bit of Christmas shopping as well :)

I know I don't say a lot on these pages, but I have gone back and read posts from last year and I can already see myself changing. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. I have been pretty reflective over the break, so stay tuned for a new year's post.

To the left are some snaps from this winter...snow in Richmond, cookie baking, corporate tomato gifts for dad, Denver airport yoga, and Christmas eve crabs!

All I can say for the conclusion of the semester is...wow. A snow storm came the day before our final exam in respiratory, causing the first two groups' exams to be postponed. The groups were given the option of taking the exam three days later (when we were scheduled to be on break) or when we return January 3. It was enlightening to see every one's response. Some protested that those taking the exam later had an advantage and wanted a similar extension. I, for one, was relieved to be in one of the groups still scheduled to take the exam so I could get out of town and forget the whole ordeal. I guess that's med school for you.

For now, I wish everyone a happy holiday season, warm snuggles, family, good food, and a safe end to the year.
