This dude was creepy - he watched you no matter where you were, kinda like the mona lisa 

What the....

I got this email today and wasn't sure what to make of it...

Screw med school, apparently I need to get better elementary school training. Or maybe they think I have kids...who are these people???

The Point meets The Gallery 

Go RU!!!

We actually beat Louisville!! Can you believe it?!?

Cute faces

Matt's impression of Magnum. He never saw Zoolander, so we'll give him a break

Ian was fascinated by the hippo doing jumping jacks

Having a deep conversation with the puffer

Gitti and I kidnapped Ian for the day and took him to the aquarium. The shark tunnel spooked him out

More ice cream

Something felt odd a couple nights ago...I was vegetating on the couch, eating an ice cream sundae, and watching The Biggest Loser.

My cousins. We almost lost the little one's shoe to the duck hunters 

Duck hunt

Nothing says 'run Forrest, run!' better than a shotgun going off 20 yards in front of you. in freakin Rhode Island. and by the ocean, no less. I went walking with my cousins and my brother on this stone wall thing that lines the ocean by their house in the big ol state of Rhode Island. We saw this flock of ducks just sitting in the water - it looked normal at first, until we realized that all the ducks were sitting in a perfect line, and they weren't moving. Even after a shotgun went off. No joke, we were confuzzled and a half. We kept walking and ended up coming to these guys, in full camouflage no less, trying to hide behind the wall with all their hunting paraphenalia. Apparently they were hunting for ducks. In the middle of residential Rhode Island. And I thought hicks only lived in the middle of nowhere. What a bizarre place.

During my visit to Penn State I got to go to Hershey's Chocolate World, and I couldn't pass up a picture with life sized chocolate bars  

Monkey face

I love goofy pictures. Sure the posed ones that have everyone in them are nice to look at, but the best ones are the candid shots of people making retarded faces =)

lol 

I'm back!

Wow, it's been so long since I've posted. Here's a quick update: Christmas was great, New Years was great, and I didn't make any resolutions this year, as usual (I refuse to make any because they don't work). Now that you're up to speed with what's going on with me, a little of what's been going through my head. In particular the Michael Buble song "Home" - Another aeroplane, another sunny place, I'm lucky I know...but I wanna go home - All this flying around (and a lot of driving around) for med school interviews has been hectic and awesome, but it's strange knowing that I'm going to be calling one of them home soon. No more Jersey, no more living in the same bedroom I grew up in. It's so weird knowing that in 6 months my life is going to completely change. It won't even be one of those gradual things that over time you realize your life is different, this is just going to be like *WHAM!!* say hello to new life. It's so exciting yet so scary to think about. I wonder if I'll ever get used to it. I suppose 8 years should be plenty of time to settle in to someplace new, but it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out - and especially where that someplace new will be.

Didn't say I'll see you later...

We had a goodbye get together yesterday for Bequanay, Laura and Heather. It was tons of fun and real sad at the same time. Why do you people keep moving away?? c'mon people!!

On a brighter note, I'm going to my first professional hockey game tomorrow! hooray!!

They had to leave their mark on the house 

The food was yummy, let me tell you. Never had such tasty rice before. lol 

Goodbye party...it was a bittersweet night. Hopefully I'll get a better version where Tracy's not hidden

peanut butter (no jelly) time

I'm addicted to Reese's peanut butter cups. We got a bunch of minis for halloween (so we could eat them after), and I can't stop eating them. They're so good! and addicting! I'm gonna be on a serious sugar high tonight.

First snow! and first snow-man-creature-thing! 

She was dangerous with that knife 

The midget pirate.  

More turkey day

I got some more pictures from Thanksgiving. I never fully realized how many kids there were till I looked through all of the photos.

The Polar Express is an intense movie, for serious 

Gatherin round the good stuff 

ah, legos...i love legos 

Emily and Hannah - Hannah's got such a fake smile on in this one, but all the other one's turned out blurry 

Peeling potatoes -- it was a good team effort, but I think I won the who can make the biggest mess contest 

Man I feel like a woman

This one's for the girls....

So you're sitting there chillaxin, after having just finished painting your nails. It took you the better part of the hour to get them done without any smudges or crooked lines and everything, and you're so proud of yourself because now they look like you just came back from the salon. Only then does it hit you -- that incredible urge to have to go to the bathroom. You thought you were going to be good for the next few hours when you went before you started your little nail party, but your bladder just doesn't care and quite frankly wants to see you ruin your nails five seconds after you painstakingly just finished them. And to top it all off, you're wearing the sticky jeans with 5 buttons and the belt that's gotta go under and through and over and around just to get unbuckled. That's just the worst. What a conundrum.

RU-BME!!

lol this was funny. A little background: some BME students wanted to make shirts that said RUBME (for Rutgers Biomed Engineering - for serious, that's what it stands for), but the administration wouldn't let them (can't imagine why). Guess the students'll get their way now anyways.

I was cold...It took a while for us to thaw and get back to room temp
