...a question posed by a internal medicine physician last week to a bunch of bright-eyed bushy-tailed first year students shouting out answers.

"cancer"

"heart disease"

"Chuck Norris!"

sweeeeeet.


Since last week was the first week of block 2, we've all been a little less intense - mostly to catch up on gossip from the first block party.  There was a girls vs. guys football game in the making, so I went to practice Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, to learn how to play football for the first time.  Friday night we had a pasta party and decorated t-shirts for the big game.   Part of the surprise involved ironing on a giant photo of Coach Brian's head onto the front of our shirts - great reaction from him when he saw us the next day.

Part of the strategy for winning on Saturday was for me to fake an injury to make the guys feel bad about playing too aggressively.  I ended up trying to tackle on of the guys and falling and slamming the back of my head - and my team thought I was faking it.  Oops.

Still sore, today, but all in all had a highly entertaining weekend.  I tried to get back into studying on Sunday but did two loads of laundry and washed my car instead.  Yesterday I watched the Pats beat the Bengals.  I'm going to get cracking on the books today because the Red Sox are playing their first game in the playoffs tomorrow.
