holmes away from home: February 2008
http://holmeslightfoot.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Holmes away from home. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. I love being away from home. Getting out of the city, state, country - wherever - I think travel is wonderful. I get back from India the last week of May (insh'allah) and depending on where I go to school I could have as little as two weeks to pack up my things, find a new place and move to my new home for next 4/5 years. It sounds like a lot, but today, it's more like a lot of nothing. While I understand you could probably gauge for narcissism (chief re...

Holmes away from home. Thursday, November 02, 2006. Why is it that no one else is concerned with pumpkin dental hygiene? So i've been back for a bit more than a week now, poor, living with the folks and looking for a job (know anybody hiring a travel writer? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). If only cars could run on blog posts. A time to grow. Will make you want to reproduce. Stuff white people like. Ashraya initiative for children. Fundacion brethren y unida.

Holmes away from home. Sunday, October 22, 2006. Machu picchu and me. It had been talked up as one of the most amazing things to do in the world, unforgetable scenery, mind-expanding vistas etc. And I couldn't think about how it could possibly measure up, especially with all of those other gringos crawling all over the place like ruins of a McD's playplace for retirees. Friday, October 20, 2006. Here's a couple other good ones:. At Hamuda - You are cute (for a girl, think it would be Ata hamuda for a guy).

holmes away from home: A lot on my plate
http://holmeslightfoot.blogspot.com/2009/02/lot-on-my-plate.html
Holmes away from home. Thursday, February 05, 2009. A lot on my plate. I've always felt that doing things is the best way to learn. Lately, I've been out cross country skiing, downhill skiing, figuring out plans to bake bread in a woodfire oven once a week, sledding, and even started working on an upper valley drink special website. Read: very very distractable these days, not having much luck focusing on the science. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). If only cars could run on blog posts. A time to grow.

holmes away from home: Paging Dr. Howser...
http://holmeslightfoot.blogspot.com/2008/08/paging-dr-howser.html
Holmes away from home. Sunday, August 17, 2008. Paging Dr. Howser. We've been learning lots during orientation for medical school. Where to get cheap scrubs, tasty suds, and how to email your buds using the campus email system called Blitzmail. Blitzmail dates back to before the Roman empire, and was actually Phidippides' last name. It has all sorts of bugs and quirks, but my favorite feature is the ability to choose a nickname that you want to use. And choose I did. I've missed you, Doogie. I consider, ...

Holmes away from home. Monday, September 18, 2006. One of my favorite things about latin america is the fiesta. Granted, after having travelled a bit, i'm not too big a fan of romanticizing what one culture has over another. We've all got wacky things that we take for granted that make life incredible. Westerners/Gringos in particular seem blind to the fact that we, too, have culture (elusive though it may be in the midst of day after-blank sales). Cultural relativism aside, me likey the parties. We ende...

Holmes away from home. Sunday, July 30, 2006. I didn't want to give too many details about this Cotopaxi climb before I left, partly because I didn't want to worry anyone, partly because I didn't really know them! We stopped for one break near the top of the glacier and the powerade I had been drinking was just entirely too much sugar and not enough water and my body decided to pull out the veto. So, while our guide was fixing his gloves or something i started puking of the side of the mountain. ...He di...

holmes away from home: First Day of Anatomy Lab
http://holmeslightfoot.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-day-of-anatomy-lab.html
Holmes away from home. Sunday, September 07, 2008. First Day of Anatomy Lab. This is our bag. Meeting our first patient in the anatomy lab is a whole host of introductions that all happen at once. It’s a presentation of the deep privilege given to the members of our profession - the license to carefully examine the parts of the body and their behaviors, which align to create a complete person. When I worked in an urban hospital in Quito, Ecuador, I assisted in a number of minor surgeries and a few highly...

Holmes away from home. Wednesday, April 30, 2008. Smiling, Talking, Silence. Bad News: my camera memory chip seems to have picked up a virus. My photos seem okay, i'll just have to find a computer that I can sacrifice to upload them. The anti-virus software in the few cyber cafes I've tried haven't let me copy them. In the mean time I'll go back to borrowed pics. Hey mate, want to be a Bollywood extra? Later that night I met some guys in the hostel that were going out with a Mumbai local, who turned out ...
