I took yesterday as a personal day and did almost zero work...
I dragged Tim to Schiller's with me in the morning to look at camera equipment. I want to gear up before my trip to Tanzania in two weeks, but the price tags are enough to think about new hobbies, like knitting. I picked up my first SLR a year ago and just started taking pictures, but the technical talk still eludes me, and a lot of times I'm not really sure what I'm paying for. Tim and I also debated investing more upfront for equipment I can 'grow into' versus saving some money now and upgrading later. I'm incline to say Tim's advice of investing early makes sense, but my student loan supported bank account says no.
Still, I took some recommendations, and decided I'm in the market for a flash, a tripod, a polarizing filter, a backpack insert to carry my gear, and mayyyybbbeee a new telephoto lens. So far I've only ordered the Canon 580 EX flash from Keh.com. I'll update you as it comes in.

In the evening our Practice of Medicine class held a 'physical exam' review session with junior residents and pizza. I just happened to be in a room of many young female medical students and two single male residents, which brings many obvious jokes to mind.
Despite the draw of questionable pizza and free soda, we left the review early to hear Adam play with the blind nils at Firebird. Adam, who also happens to be a physics phd student, is one of the most haunting male vocalists I've ever seen live. His voice is versatile, crooning, shouting, whispering.
