Providence

The stay in Providence was interesting. I got to see old friends and make new ones. I thought all the students from other schools were excellent and also the residents at Brown. I also got to meet and talk to Jay Baruch, writer and EM physician. One night after I got the dreaded needle stick, I drove out to see my old drosophila lab partner, Joel, in Wood's Hole. We had dinner, walked on the beach, and talked about life, liberty and the pursuit of education under eccentric advisors--something we both know a little about:). The highlight of the trip besides getting a look at another program outside of Syracuse, was my artist room mate who make great paintings of horses and also this crazy Donkey Wand. I'm hoping to make one of my very own when inspiration strikes. Providence also has clouds and weird street art and the ocean is nearby, which I loved.
