No where but here

Last Thursday at 11:30pm I was in the gross anatomy doing some last minute cramming for my lab practical the following afternoon. Approximately a dozen of us were crowded around a dissected foot. It was crowded and late, and I'd slept approximately 5 hours since the previous morning. Amid all of that, it dawned on me that I was so happy that I was there. I don't think I delighted in my instantaneous position (dead foots smell worse than live ones), but, rather, in the fact that I was in medical school, finally, doing what I really wanted to do with my life.

Jessie's boyfriend Chris thinks "Once" is overrated but he's a vampire and has no soul. So take his opinion for what it's worth.

The fact that the smell of dead feet can inspire feelings of gratitude is, well, deviant...Seriously, how great that you are pleased with your decision to go to medical school. You're going to feel even more grateful when you get to work on live feet... and other body parts!
