Well with school, moving, and general craziness, some of these managed to enter my body...

or maybe these?...


i think it's the first, flu; not the second which is the rabies virus...unless I was attacked by rabid desert foxes and didn't notice. I love my virology class, but it's never too early to get medical student syndrome!
Just remember no antibiotics for virus. Though flu can make you more susceptible to bacterial infections.

Some of us are obsessed with cats and animals. Hopefully this will appease those who keep demanding photos and news. We moved into our new house the night after the physicians oath ceremony. Carrying boxes and furniture at 4am wasn't so bad...it was a bit cooler and some wine and vodka made it fun! Of course waking up at 8am the next day was not as enjoyable. It's been 2 weeks since then and the house (or cottage i should say) is looking much better. The cats like it too, as the can wander in and out. Milly is still as petite and sleepy as ever, but she is adorable and though I don't think she is the healthiest cat, she seems to enjoy herself.



Kona is still wild, knocking over chairs at night and running madly about chasing feathers.

The last few weeks have been busy but I feel like I'm finally settling in. Our class had our physicians oath ceremony on September 7th. We take the oath at the start of our studies to show that even as students we have an obligation to the people we will be learning from, they are not simply bodies for us to study. We also read our Ethics Code which was put together over the course of the last month by our whole class.



Afterwards we went to Be'er Sheva's only hotel, the Golden Tulip, for a dinner and lots of drinks. Each class put on a skit and I have to say that ours was amazing!
