Ok, enough with the serious posts already before y’all think that I sit around in a corner rocking back and forth under the stress of it all. I will start a new series of things I find in local ad rags, newspapers, etc. that show interesting slices of life here, particularly those things which […]
One of the biggest things I’ve been thinking about lately has been study habits. This semester was supposed to be easier than last (according to students in 2nd year, partly because of classes like behavioral science and nutrition) but I have not seen it that way at all.
I am a bibliophile–I’ve collected textbooks for subjects […]
I said it: I can’t stand group activities. Those people with whom I’ve worked or are working in groups that happen to be reading this, I promise it’s not personal. I just prefer working by myself or with one or two other people of my choosing, but rarely more than that, and even […]

We got up in the morning, grumbling there was neither coffee nor breakfast, but I smelled coffee, so I went downstairs. There was some pan dulce (sweet bread) and coffee already brewed, so I took a piece, two cups and cheerfully presented Claudia with coffee and bread, happy to start my […]

I actually wore a shirt that went with my pants today!
Congrats to all those who matched their residency programs today and best of luck to all those involved in the scramble. I will be biting my nails in a few years, but until then I wish everyone well.
I have my wife’s sister and distant relative as houseguests this week since they are on Spring Break from the US. It’s my sister-in-law’s first time here, and they are trying to get in all they can. It’s been a bit trying because she’s loud and doesn’t really always get that I have […]
Warning: rant follows.
I don’t like speaking badly about my school since 1) I obviously attend it, and 2) I don’t want to set a complaining tone on this blog or in my life in general, particularly about things I have no control over, but damnit some things here piss the living hell out of me, […]
