Ahh, this blog is turning into quite the addiction, I find. Not much new to report today, except that I spent a couple hours today interviewing two prospective high school seniors for Cornell. Wow, it feels weird being on the other side of the table now, talking to these youngsters about potentially making that trek down to Ithaca. One of the students in particular, impressed me greatly with his political awareness and thoughtful discourse. I have to admit that I enjoyed our conversation much more than almost any other intellectual conversation I've had with anybody from medical school in the last year and a half. Sigh, this entry has the potential to turn into an anti-medical student rant, so I'll have to stop it before it gets out of control. Nonetheless, the point that I am slowly winding my way to, is that I genuinely miss the coffee shop/late night dorm room/lunch at Trillium conversations that seemed to fill up many of my days in undergrad. Too often now, do I spend my days just trying to stay awake, stealing precious moments to provide myself with physical sustenance, such that the idea of intellectual nourishment of any sort becomes almost as alien as a win in basketball might have been back at CU.
