Update

I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd better do so...

Things that are new in SLC:

1. I am on my ophthalmology rotation right now (and will be through the end of February). It is fantastic. Makes me happy I chose the right field.

2. I have been near death with some sort of Utah illness since Wednesday (or maybe just a mild cold, but I like being dramatic on the blog). And I have very little voice left at the moment. If you call my phone and hear nothing or a voice that sounds like Estelle Getty from the Golden Girls....that's me. Don't laugh.

3. It snowed a lot a couple of days ago. See Anna's post. Snow like that would've brought in the Army National Guard in Arkansas. Guess we have to learn to deal with it. Funny story about the snow...the first day that it snowed (Wednesday) was the same day that I started getting sick. After clinic that day at the VA, I had to give a ride to a couple of the other doctors (my bosses) down the street to their cars. So we were walking out the door to my car, and there I was all bundled up and shivering/shaking/chattering. But it was because I felt awful and was getting a fever, not because I'm a little wuss from Arkansas who can't stand his first Utah snow experience. Of course I didn't want to whine, so I didn't explain to them that I felt awful and thought I was developing a fever. So I just let them think that I was shivering because I was a wuss.
