Continued Chronicles

Did you know that "abattoir" means "slaughterhouse?" It was a new one on me.

I got one of the summer research positions in Biomedical Sciences! Worries about finding summer employment (aside from getting a second job) may now be laid aside.

I finished my last midterm today (in diagnostic imaging). I suppose more studying would have helped to some extent, but those abdominal radiographs can be just plain cryptic!

There are benefits to living part time with one's parents (weekends and breaks) and part time with another couple (James and Orpha Smucker during school weeks). I celebrated my birthday on Sunday with my parents, and yesterday Orpha went all out making another birthday dinner for me. She introduced a new dessert: beet carob cake. You might expect it to produce questionable gustatory sensations, but it really passed the test.
