My summer: a tale of two cities

Much of the summer has been spent shuffling between Ames and Des Moines, between work at the science center and donations at the plasma center, between maintaining a social life in Ames (as well as natkaps) and starting a new one in Des Moines…

Des Moines, IA. The biggest little city in the world?

I feel like I just got moved in with Joe in Des Moines, but jeez, it has been over two months (truth be told, I’m not done moving). Hell, sometimes I feel like I just got moved in in Ames with Bret, but our year-long lease is about to expire!

I'm at that desk under the big purple sign. Working hard. Solving problems. Making new ones. Hi, I'm Adam.

I’m waxing nostalgic. But that’s not what this is about.

I wanted to write to say that this blog is being somewhat repurposed. Sure, I might still share cool stuff I find from time to time. Sure, there will probably be times when I go months without an update. So what will change?

I’m about to start medical school, which I’m sure will be a grand adventure and extreme challenge. I’d like to write about it. I will attempt to:

• keep it concise.
• not get whiny.
• not sugarcoat.
• provide insight.
• provide updates (but not journal).

If any aspiring med students run across my site, I hope they find my accounts to either aspire them further or scare them away. Hopefully not the latter.

And so it begins.
