This Trimester started out with concerns for a an old high school classmate of mine who had a sick daughter. ...mulling

anyway, my friends 27 year old daughter died of a heart attack after the first week of the tri

This same friend had a son who she had been fighting to get through high school and she was successful at that and last night a friend of her son's hung himself and is also now dead.

I'm getting more and more friends on facebook that are no longer alive. it's a curious situation.

Imagine an article written with the title "What if Jesus had Facebook?"

Facebook is kind of a life diary like non other in existence. Imagine being able to pull up a facebook page of Benjamin Franklin or George Washington - eventually we may get to that point.

The kid who hung himself had been kicked out of his house while still in high school. My high school friend and their family had taken him in a number of times while he tried to find a place to live.

This makes me think that no matter how crappy of a parent you might be, if you are at least there for your kids that could literally be the difference between life and death. It certainly seems that way for this kid.

I looked over his facebook page. He graduated in 2011 - he left behind 4 brothers and a sister. oh, and his best friend who was my friends son.

I'm working on a couple of CBI's, Northwestern is still in my head and after 5 weeks in the Lose to Win STL Challenge I'm down 38.2 pounds - better then a pound a day and walked a little over 100 miles in those past 5 weeks.

i also dropped clinic this past week.

it is what it is...

I'm not sure what blogs I'll be keeping up with from here on out. It's very difficult to care anymore. Logan has a way of doing that to you.

I heard a comment from Dr. Christy the other day who said he likes teaching the younger Trimester students because they're happier. That's a pretty accurate assessment.

Logan may have a lot of things going for it but, generally speaking, instilling enthusiasm in it's students for chiropractic is definitely not one of them.

The one thing they do engender in the last few trimesters is an overwhelming desire to get the hell out and be finished with Logan once and for all.

We've still got some great teachers in the classroom and I don't mind heavy work loads but, I'd have to classify my own exposure to the program, especially in these last few tri's as abusive and, as far as clinic goes, I'm tired of being treated like shit.

Tri-9 Wk5 Day 544 - Monday, Homage to Dr. Sanders

First, to pay my respects to a Great teacher who passed away this past Friday, Dr. Gary Sanders

Mourning the loss of Dr. Gary Sanders, PhD at Logan University. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, contribution to science and strong commitment to helping students like myself. Dr. Sanders has published research in JNMS: The Journal of the Neuromusculoskeletal System, JMPT: Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Chiropractic Technique, The New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Immunology, and others.

Dr. Sanders is on the right in the picture below. As a Pathologist Dr. Sanders once comment that they (pathologist) were often thought of as the Doctor's Dr. Huge loss. I used to talk with him on a pretty regular basis, at least 4 or 5 times a week. His funeral and visitation is tomorrow from noon to 1. I've got clinic. :(

I'm getting stuck here. Here is a public link to my Logan Family album on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1820711920619.106170.1324821250&l=408738468b&type=1

the 41st picture is of Dr. Sanders along w/ my homage to him.

What else is going on....

I did get a very nice comment on my last post from a DO student. He sent me a message that he thought I was an instructor at a med school! That was nice to hear. :)

I've really gotta get more videos up ...especially while I still remember a few things. I know I wanted to do a video on the malate shuffle back from my biochemistry days but I don't quite remember it enough right now to knock out a video. I still retain the gist of that concept :)

Week 2 results came out today in the 1,000 person Lose to Win weight loss contest being held here in St Louis and I moved from 9th to 3rd place which is kinda cool. Online results are here - http://www.ssmhealth.com/depaul/losetowinstl/pages/results.aspx

The people who were in the top two spots last week aren't even in the top 10 anymore and if either of them would have just maintained their weight loss they would have still been in the top 10 so ....logic dictates that those two had to have gained weight.

Test coming up Friday - another dozen or so classes to look over.

two hours of clinical nutrition and two hours of clinical psychology tomorrow - clinic attire is in the washer & dryer right now -

Got another 6 miles in tonight after school - just walking but, it was on a new path which was nice. Fri, Sat & Sun was pretty much a bust - fell asleep early friday after i got home from clinic and had class all day Sat followed quickly by a super nice dinner then out to some club in St. Louis that was supposed to be all swanky & stuff. Didn't seem like anything all that amazing but, maybe that's just my age talking. Club stuff was quickly followed by Sunday class at Logan.... (yeah, it was a long Sat night...) and getting done with my class on Sunday was quickly followed by more much needed sleep but, I did wake up for an hour around 9 p.m. Sun night then fell asleep until my classes today.
