Hobbies

I played more golf this past year than I ever have. I really like to play but I am awful.

These are some pictures from me and my brother kayaking in Alaska. I did it a couple of times there and hope to pick it up here in South Carolina too.

Done with first year, Starting second year

Well i finished my first year of medical school. Overall it was pretty great. It got better and better as the year went on and i had a lot of fun, got in a few fights (just one really and not much of a fight at that), made some friends, lost some friends, did some rectal and pelvic exams (just one of each), had a lot of dental work done, lost some weight (won a wii for it), gained a lot of it back (at least it feels like it), scored some goals (well only 5 and 3 came in one game), made out with tons of people (not really) and learned a lot (most of which i've probably forgotten in the last 6 weeks).
At the beginning of the year we were randomly placed in small groups (10 or 11 people) and we met 2 or three times a week for a few hours. I got lucky and was put in a good group and we all got along and worked together well and had fun together (other groups fought). Then when they changed these small groups later in the year, it just wasn't the same. We all missed the old group and didn't really see as much of each other anymore. And no we're kind of reliving that because the whole class has been scattered across the country (in groups of 8-10) which kind of sucks, so i want pay tribute to some of the friends i made this first year.
