Agghhh... I need some distraction, why is no one emailing me?! hint hint :)

My third day onboard the love boat (aka LSU-Finnjet). I draw comparisons daily to my first cruise experience. It's much more fun to find the similarities (because in truth, the two boats are COMPLETELY different), such as the distinct cruise-boat soap smell I just experienced in the bathroom -- the same stainless steel cleanliness. I am currently sitting in the red room (see photo below), which in another life time (of the boat), I am sure was a chic spot. Right now, however, it is occupied by medical/dental/etc students armored with headphones and water. The clicking of my key-board is actually the loudest noise in the room.

Okay, semi-done with my cardiac cycle.

What a crazy weekend. Saturday night my roomies, Shelly, and Sashi took me to Tsunami for a belated birthday outing. You can see the entire downtown Baton Rouge from top of the restaurant. It's very Sex and the City, even more so as I was sipping my cosmopolitan, pretending not to be a medical student. Dinner included Rainbow Roll and Caterpillar, both bringing back memories Houston sushi. :)

I find that more and more, my present life if about re-capturing bits and pieces of yesterday, when yesterday passed so fast I barely had time to live it in its rightful moment.

Nightly dinners with a healthful selection of major food groups. :) I've missed going to common's every night for dinner... I get to do it again!







The Red Room, where all my studying has taken place.

Old State Capital and according to Mark Twain, the monstrosity of the Mississippi, but remodeled and quite lovely from top of Tsunami.
