So much has happened

So I spent this summer in England, studying for Step I of the NBME examination (the first step to becoming a licensed physician). This was probably not the best decision I've ever made, since there were plenty of distractions and other stuff to do.

We went to the Isle of Man for a vacation. This cost a fortune (as everything does when the dollar is so weak) but it was well worth it. We stayed at the Wicklow Hills hotel, which is within a half hour walk of the ferry terminal. A guy was waiting outside, and greeted us as we walked up to the place (at 1 in the morning). "Mr. and Mrs. XXXXXX? Welcome to the wicklow hills!" He showed us to our room, and told us that we could arrange payment the next day. Fucking amazing service.
