I felt that now that I'm back in school I probs should update about whats been going on for me all summer (and lets be honest, I cant handle anymore studying for tonight). So lets see, since the glorious Michigan visit I have spent my summer in a research lab studying spinal cord injury. Its pretty exciting in concept but as usual, I find the actual research sciencey part of a bit too tedious (really why cant we just solve all of those questions in one solid summer project?). I was looking at the effect of removing the spleen before spinal cord injury and the splenic immune response to injury. So after about 8 weeks of that I can now tell Sophomore year mono afflicted Duke that yes the spleen is important (just dont ask me how). Sadly, the one window in our lab did had to overlook the ohio state stadium. The only redeeming part of this view is that I can see the entrance where they had to adorn it with maize and blue tiles after the construction team building the new stadium agreed to do so if osu lost to Michigan (which of course they did).
Other than that I spent a ton of time this summer relaxing, and catching up on things med school has taken away from me (like sleep). I did get a week of vaca in the FL with the old people but we just started up school a week ago and I really didnt miss it at all haha.
I dont have much else to report. Still living in the same house with the same kids (aside from my various library homes) and med school life is still pretty monotonous. However, from the looks of my housemates new schedules, it seems like next year is going to be a pretty big improvement so i've got that to look forward to.
As for the football game reunion, there isnt really a home game that works perfect for me, but I could do Wisonsin or Michigan State but probably not both. So I say we pick a sybil game to come back for and Ill probably make it back for that. That being said, I also do have a dirty (in the osu student section) ticket for the ohio state game and would be happy to find more if people want to come down for that game. I have very attractive sleeping options such as the futon or the prized little-spoon spot in my bed. And can offer the chance to play with Bexely (i know not exactly a comparison to floppers) and see the sights of columbus (sure you could instead check out the skid marks in your toliet bowl and probably see more exciting history). But then you wouldnt get to see me!
Long Live Sybil,
James
