Is Narcolepsy contagious? Ask James...

The weather as of late has been really great. It's been in the mid-50s and the sun has been out most of the time.
School has me studying a lot! While I am on the subway, at the gym or even eating dinner. No breaks here!
Rami (class president) commented today in amazement that there is only a few weeks to go until midterms/final exams! It was at this point that reality set in and I went into temporary shock. Our semester has some classes that are the entire semester, some that are split into two sections (two separate classes lasting half the semester) and a few that are only the first half of the semester. Thus, the final exams!
Today we had a 2 hour lecture from the guest speaker at the white coat ceremony last Sunday, Professor Joan Edelstein. She is a very accomplished woman and did a great job at today's lecture. It was stimulating as she kept all of us involved throughout the entire 2 hours! At the end of the lecture she presented a video that really showed us many of the characteristics of gait that she was teaching us in lecture.

I am sure most of you remember your High School years rather well. Especially when there was a movie or a slide/projector show during class. Some poor sap had to turn the knob on the projector every time the tape would make the "ping" sound. Gosh, I hated those things. Why? Because the tape always woke me up!
Well, today there was just a video. Keep in mind that I did not fall asleep, I caught someone else in class.
As soon as the lights go out, all of us just want to sleep and let our brain rest a while. As soon as I turned most of the lights out for the video, this person's eyelids shut down faster than I could see them! See for yourself....

*They are a bit blurry b/c I did not use a flash. I was being 'stealthy' in class. :-)






David is a hard-working DPT Student, a great father and a loving husband. Between those three things I am surprised he is not exhausted more often!

See you next post!
