Greetings from Louisiana! I am sitting in the living room with my parents drinking a ginger-flavored alcoholic beverage care of my mother whilst stealing their neighbors' wireless waves. There are two dogs with seven legs sleeping on the floor next to me.

This morning I went to see my dentist, a person I had not seen in almost exactly three years. To my great surprise, I had no cavities or gingivitis to speak of (?through), likely due to my new campaign of flossing during my daily morning shower. Ten doesn't like how I hang my used floss on the shower curtain rod, but I told her if that was her biggest problem with me, she was lucky. She said that wasn't her biggest problem with me.

Tonight I am going out to dinner with TBF. Can't wait.

In other news, I got contact lenses last week. It took me a good ten minutes to get them in the first time, and I cried profusely afterward. I asked my optometrist if new users usually had so much trouble getting them in, and he said, "usually just teenage boys."

I have almost all of my interviews done; only a preliminary year interview in Cooperstown, NY, and a neurology interview at UNC Chapel Hill remain.
