Friday Night Lights (as in Corona Lights)

Damn, another post about alcohol... just kidding, actually that's just the headline. This one goes out to my boy Miguel from Bean-town, as I attempt, mildly intoxicated, to watch the entire fourth season of Scrubs tonight.

Even though I haven't gotten to hammer out the details of my new contract, the stability that comes from knowing I'll be here at least 6 months and probably through next Summer has been incredibly liberating and is what I needed to get over my "one foot in China, one foot back in the states, straddling the pacific" lack of commitment to enjoying Shanghai. Helped Laurie celebrate his three month anniversary of being here tonight (actually, just his excuse to send out an email on Monday giving everyone we know a reason to be excited for Friday drinking.) Tomorrow's a big day as I may actually have the end of med school applications (round 2) in sight... it was no easy feat, but I managed to write answers to four completely different essay questions that are all paraphrases of "I'm awesome." Night night.
