Chicago Marathon

See Kimmie run. Go, Kimmie, go!!!!!

Kim ran the Chicago marathon this weekend while I found the nearest Caribou, got myself a coffee and made friends with the other people who were not running the marathon and apparently had the same idea as me: to get away from the cold and get cozy with coffee.

There were so many people that everywhere I walked there was a person in front of me. Kinda like Disneyland on a really, really touristy day sans the rides. Yeah, it was making me nervous. In my head, I was thinking, "diseases...get away from me."

Forty-eight thousand people ran the marathon. For reasons that I would never understand. Hell, if I wanted to feel good about myself and get a medal, I'd eat some chocolate on the couch and buy myself a medal. Don't get me wrong though, it's very admirable to finish a marathon. All 26.2 miles of it. Kim finished at 3 hours 45 minutes---the time it would take me to fly to Chicago from California and wait at the airport. That's not much time.

Weekend Fun

Time

somehow goes by slowly when you're studying all day.

Sometimes I feel like I'm just staring at the same page over and over and never really getting anywhere. This is the life of a med student...

But, sometimes, I end up spending time with a few people. This weekend I've been hanging out with two different Catherines. My roomie from last year, Cat (above) and 'The Great' (below).

The Great is wearing my coat and trying to fix my phone because it doesn't ring when people call me nor do I get messages.

This is Jeane. The Great's friend she's wearing the hat that The Great gave me :) They came to visit me and while I attempted to make breakfast. Yeah, I know I need help with my cooking skills and my phone.

APAMSA National Conference

Last weekend, I went to APAMSA's National Conference held at Washington D.C. This is the second time this year that I went to D.C. I think it's the midwest / eastern thing to do since it's so close by.

Me trying to cram some studying in the plane

The conference was at the Uniformed Services of Health Sciences campus

We rode a bus and they checked our IDs so that we can get into their campus. Oh, the politics of setting foot in a naval base.

We thought we should take a picture with someone in uniform. This is Art we got free t-shirts with his school logo from him.

This is Eric. He's from Wash. U.

Then, we found another person in uniform. This is Sameer. He was checking our IDs in the bus.

Deep Thoughts From Camille's Thoughtless Brain

"It's better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb than half way up one you don't."

Welcome to my life. I am totally at the bottom of my ladder. And, to make it worse, I'm scared of heights! How in the world am I gonna get to the top? Sometimes I wonder...what if the freakin' ladder breaks? Then what? I'd just probably fall on my cushiony booty, ladderless, and with no place to go. I say, damn you ladder! You'd better have something incredible-wanna give-up-chocolate-better-than-ess-eee-ex for me in the end!

People, what's up with your ladder?
