Only a few days left!

Only Thursday and Friday left for me in Ohio! Sometimes it feels sad to leave, since Columbus is a pretty nice city without the traffic and pollution of LA. When I left Columbus after med school in 2004, I never thought I'd be back here again. Now with me starting work at Kaiser and putting my roots down in the West Coast, I think the chances of me coming back to Columbus is even less. What I will miss the most is the awesome bike trails that Columbus has. I will definitely not miss the snow in the winter and the humidity/rain in the summer.

Speaking of bike trails, I made another YouTube video. This is in slightly higher quality and the sun was out. There were clouds too, so some parts of the video go in and out of the shades.



Also the fireflies seem to be out earlier this year. I think it is probably because of all the rain that we had and the warmer spring. Here's a video of fireflies as viewed from my apartment window.



As you can tell, I'm liking my little Canon SD960 IS camera. The high-definition videos are pretty awesome.

As I wrap up my fellowship, I had the chance to go out to lunch at Max & Erma's at German Village with Heather, Snow, and Stacy (our new attending). It seems like the next year will bring new things to all of us.

I am still in the process of packing all my stuff in the apartment. Today I took all my shelves apart, packed my printer, clothes and bike equipments. Tomorrow, I will pack my computer, clothes, and kitchen and bathroom things. I'll end things up by cleaning the apartment. The movers will be here Friday. Also, it turns out that I can get a refund for the unused portion of my parking permit, so that's an extra $100 that I'll get back! Ivy's flying in Friday night and we'll stay at a local hotel since my room will be completely empty by then. We should drive out at about 8am.
