I was really feeling it today (well.. technically yesterday) during lectures.. I guess the fact that we had access to the internet and all the news sources didn't help either. I don't know how many of you were affected by the tragedies, but I know we will support each other however we can and get through this. I haven't kept in touch with a lot of college friends and I am sure some of them were working in the financial district.. hopefully not too close to the WTC. I'm still trying to get in touch with some friends who are doing rotations around NYC.. especially some NYU students who might even be doing a rotation at Bellevue Hospital, one of the main sites for injured victims.
On another note, I had the chance to go to one of the sponsored OMM workshops today and it was very interesting and great practice. The topic was on functional technique, which supposedly isn't in the curriculum, but it seemed very practical and something I could apply right away. Dr. Seffinger (who I hadn't previously met) is a very nice and interesting guy who seems to have a passion for OMM. It was somewhat inspiring watching him treat some of the second year students who went to the workshop. At any rate, I guess the point is in the future, I think it would be a great opportunity to go. I know the next one is this coming Monday which is unfortunately the same day as our anatomy exam, but there will be more in the future. There were not many people there today and that made it even more valuable as we had more interaction with the professor and the second years who were there.
On a much lighter note, in response to Eddie (opps I thought it was Faiz.. it's that innerpower vdubpower thing..), I think it'd be great if they had some sort of a cafeteria, but I don't think it is a necessity.. and I think there are other options such as bringing more vendors into the area around Antique Row perhaps. Maybe they will build a food bar or something after they plan the construction of dorms and the vet clinic in the future.. who knows. In the meantime, explore the local area for more food.. the area around the school actually does have some good food if you know where to look (and have the time).
