Rave: Gross Anatomy


The movie Gross Anatomy is amazing in every way possible. Total 1980s movie about medical school, full of amazing stereotypes of premeds, too-cool for school basketball players, and most importantly spandex and over sized sweaters. Definitely a must watch for any premed or med student. I thoroughly enjoyed myself the entire time. Thanks for recommending it Dad!

Hawaii Photo Book finished!


Just finished making a photo book of my visit to Hawaii over Christmas. The best thing is the photo book was free via shutterfly!



Check it out here. Hope you enjoy!

Howard Engel's The Memory Book

I just finished reading The Memory Book yesterday. It is an excellent detective novel, reminded me how much I love mysteries and miss reading them. Going to change that! What is really cool and unique about this book is that the private investigator Benny Cooperman suffers from alexia sin agraphia, meaning that he has lost his ability to read, but he can still write. Engel does a spectacular job of showing us what this is like, and it really hits close to home for him, considering he suffers from this very rare condition himself. I didn't realize this until I had finished the book and read the back inside cover, it really made me appreciate the novel even more. A must read!
