Running in memory of my Aunt Jane Rasmussen, I participated in Houston's Race for the Cure this morning. It was a beautiful morning, and thousands hit the streets for the cause.
Over the past week, I've continued to study the heart, lungs, and circulatory system. Though it's nice to feel 'free' of the burden of block one, block two is already in full force. The next test is creeping up- just a few weeks away, before the end of the month. I can NOT believe October has arrived...
On a separate note, I don't think I ever mentioned that on the day of the written exam, I saw a very ominous display of dozens of dead fish littering the bayou's banks. I counted over 60 bloated corpses on my short bike ride. Needless to say, I was pretty unnerved and sure that this was a sign of my doomed test-taking abilities. Later, I read an article in the paper about how the post-Ike sewage backup contaminated some of the waterways, leading to the eerie ichthyological phenomenon. Well, my classmates and I received our grades on Wednesday, and I was thrilled to discover that (foreboding fish aside) I just might make it through med school (i.e. I was not in the bottom 5!).

I'm glad and proud that you did the run in memory of Aunt Jane! Speaking of SIGNS, she was a Scorpio and would have been 61 on October 23.
Actually, Jane claimed to be on the cusp with Libra and would take the horoscope that she liked best.
Thanks for the run in memory of Jane.
Way to go!!! One of my goals for the spring is to run a 5 or 10K, depending on how I am feeling post-baby. Where are you spending Thanksgiving?
I heard that you did MUCH better than the bottom 5 on that test, Becky. Something like professors congratulating you and acing the anatomy portion??? You are AMAZING! :)
