Blog Twins


Hello friends.

I just made a most fantastic discovery.

First, some news. For the summer months of 2011, I will be interning at Massachusetts General Hospital with Dr. George Chen. I'll be a part of a medical imaging research group developing a 4D imaging system for more accurate tumor treatment. Sound awesome? Sound intense? Sound frightfully intimidating?? That's because it is. Yes, I am majoring in Biomedical Engineering, but I'll be a little Utah Rainbow Trout in the great Atlantic ocean just outside of Boston Harbor. They normally take two interns per year, and between last year's interns being from MIT and my counterpart for this year studying at Harvard, I have one thought left in my empty head.

Holy cow.

I'm incredibly excited and scared out of my mind. An interesting combination, yes, but in the end, they both result in losing one's lunch. Hopefully I can keep it down a while longer.

Now, on to the magical small world story of the day.

I have just found out that my dearest cousin, Tim Eaton, will also be interning at Mass General this summer. No, we're not really cousins, but my great-aunt is married to his uncle, so we'll take it. How did two kids from Perry, UT end up in this situation? I chalk it all up to luck. Now here's the kicker: The same day I started this, my first blog, Timothy was also beginning his first blog. We make quite a team, Tim-twin. Twim.

Later days.

Proposition...

It hit me smack in the head this morning.

It is a well-known fact that I am a music nerd. To the extreme. My poor friends and acquaintances suffer through my rambling on about this album or that show or "I can't believe their tour is skipping Salt Lake AGAIN!" But no more.

It came to me as it may have come to one King Arthur in 1967's Camelot: "Proposition." Why not spare the sanity of those around me and release my musical ravings in log-entry form?

Perfection.

Good words. Good tunes. Good bye.
