Week Off


Well, quarter 5 (of 16) is over, and it ended in a flurry of work. 12ish finals and a term paper brought mixed result. It was probably my worst quarter grade-wise, but one of the more enjoyable. We're getting out of the (necessary) hard sciences and into the doctor stuff: doing physical manipulation, making medicine from plants and the diagnostic techniques of traditional Chinese Medicine (looking at tongues and feeling pulses, who knew?). The picture to the right is not from some strange ND-student party, it's from my final project in botanical medicine: the beginnings of a liver tonic made from real live (dead) plant roots.

Now it's a week off to try to clean our nasty carpet and do other odds and ends.

In other news, I brewed my own beer for the first time, an IPA that we bottled (I had help with the capping from my blogging partner) almost two weeks ago. It gets better every day! I was too busy this time to remember to take pictures, but next time I will.
