Shoot, shoot, shoot. Why does everything always have to be so complicated. I wish I had a summer plan to go to. I wish I could make some money while increasing my studies instead of spending money to increase my studies and then spend more. I wish I knew what this was costing me, and I wish housing wasn't so diggity damn complicated. I'm getting behind on everything, and while it's not noticible right now, it's about to own me in the face when the tests start a-rolling around.

I smell honey.

Time for a nap.

Oh, I also hate when you wake up naturally at 6:30 fresh as a daisy, go back to sleep because your class isn't for two and a half more hours, and wake up half dead with tired an hour and a half later.

What's even up with that.

p.s. Doctors are exciting.

Special Antarctic Tour Planned for Medical Professionals


The travel-study program of Oakton Community College offers adventurous physicians and other health care practitioners an opportunity to explore Antarctica while attending a medical symposium on advances in cardiac intervention and the future of wilderness medicine.

Scheduled March 2 -12, 2004, the adventure begins in Ushuaia, Argentina, "the city at the end of the world," where travelers will embark for the Antarctica aboard the M/V Akademic Ioffe, a modern expedition vessel built specifically for cruising the polar regions. While on board, participants will attend a variety of interactive sessions on such topics as immunology, congestive heart failure and stem cell therapy conducted by an international team of physicians and scientists. Faculty include Robert Clancy, Ph.D., professor of pathology and clinical immunologist at University of Newcastle (Australia) School of Medicine; Lorne Greenspan, M.D., chairman of CME Emergency Medicine at the University of Toronto; and Peter Stark, veteran traveler and author of Last Breath: The Limits of Adventure (Ballantine, 2002).


As they journey along Drake Passage, travelers will have the opportunity to observe massive ice formations and abundant wildlife, including a number of whale species and more than 50 species of birds. Special stops are planned at international research stations and at penguin rookeries, such as those on Pleaneau Island, Port Lockroy and Paradise Bay. Other activities include kayaking and an overnight stay "on the ice."
