Ok.....Here is the evidence that I have joined the digital revolution. Yes ,I bought a digital camera, one of my many life changing events in Wichita, Ks. The lovely prop you see slung around my neck is a "caribbean blue" litman stethescope. We had to buy a bunch of medical equipment, and I still have the bulk of it to buy, but I got this and a pen light on Friday. Oh the excitement.
Actually Friday was a bit overwhelming. It was orientation, so basically for 8 hours we sat in a classroom (the only classroom I will see for a year) and listened to the next two years of our life fly by in a very loud "whoosh". My favorite part was when we all got up and introduced ourselves and included a fun little fact. Lots of people said they were cooks, or obsessive about picture frames, or just got back from their honeymoon (seriously that was a very common factoid). I closed with the fact I like to salsa dance, you know just in case there was a closet dancer in the bunch. Probably not. And most of my lovely classmates are married, even the younger ones. But I liked everyone, and we are all in this together so I am excited to get to know everyone.
My actual class (human anatomy) starts Monday. We go everyday from 8-12. And we have a test every Monday. So there go my weekends. That's ok though. I am going out tonight to experience Old Town. A girl who Linds (my roomate) knew from high school lives close by and I have gotten to spend some time with her. So we are going to "The Loft" where, I am told by my new hairstylist Lauren, there is a cover band and it has great dancing. So yay!
Linds has been studying like crazy, because she takes her boards in 3 days. So I have been trying to be quiet and scarce so she can concentrate. I have taken off by myself to explore Wichita a bit. However, I have this unfortunate inability to navigate. So even in this grid-like town, I end up going the wrong way and constantly making U-turns. It's a little embarrassing. It's opposite of Kansas City in the way numbered streets are arranged. The numbers go up when you are going North. You think I could just remember that fact and make my way, but there are named streets randomly between numbered streets and by the time I have reminded myself of the orientation of Wichita I am already a good mile the wrong way.
Oh I wanted to show you guys my house. So here are some photos of my kitchen, living room, linds studying, and finally the bookcase.:)

Wow! That place is really nice!
Hi Erin. I have decided that I really like your house and would like to come and live with you. I won't be paying any rent since I will still have the lease on my apartment to pay. When can I move in?
sweet pad, lady!
You can all come live with me and we can film it and make it into a reality show filled with bleeped out words and blurred out middle fingers.
