I decided to start this blog while lying on the floor of the gym unable to move today after a 'conditioning' session... I'll try to get this thing up to date as far as my life is concerned as time permits...

Workout: 20min of sprints on the recomb bike, followed by 15 minutes of KettleBell swing intervals (@~50lbs? only heavy KB my gym has...)

This is the first time I've done KB swings in roughly 5 years, so it was quite the experience... I'm always reluctant to do 'conditioning' days as they always seem to diminish my number for the upcoming strength workouts. I've always been a thick guy, and I see conditioning as a necessary evil to keep me from becoming a wad of lard... but I do absolutely hate it. Absolutely. I rate conditioning right up there with getting my thumb smashed with a hammer, or stapling my nutsack.

Academic-wise: I've submitted my second draft of an article on nystagmus that is to be published in Nov 2012 (Current Opinions in Ophthalmology) to my attending (AKA: The supreme overlord of all things eye-movement related).  I'm fully expecting to get it back looking as if it were dunked in a bucket of red ink...  Oh well.

2 more weeks of Neuro-ophthalmology left until I'm done as a medical student forever...  I graduate on May 3rd; then internship starts in July.  Awesome. That 2 months off will be paramount, as my girlfriend and I just signed on a house; and we should be moving within the next month and a half or so...  Loads of stuff left to do...
