Kentucky Birthday at the Otolaryngologist!

This is my first birthday in Murray since, well when? Here's where I celebrated my past birthdays: 2005 (Beijing, China), 2004 (Pasadena, CA), 2003 (Kihei, HI), 2002 (New Orleans, LA), 2001 (Detroit), 2000 (Champaign), 1999 (Champaign), 1998 (Murray). Wow, it's been 8 years! That was 5 college degrees ago.

Yes, today is my birthday! How did I celebrate? I went to visit my otolaryngologist! What's that? Well, it's a doctor who deals with nose, ears, and throat. So you know I must really be old - that's what old people do - go to the doctor on their birthdays! I have been having some trouble with my nose over the past two years, and so I went to get it checked out. This past summer I did visit the Tian He hospital in Tianjin regarding this, and they took a Catscan and had me come for treatment on three consecutive days. I took my catscan with me and the doctor told me I have a really bad sinus condition which will probably require SURGERY. Thanks, happy birthday to you too.

Tomorrow, my parents and I will fly up to New York. I need to find an apartment and get ready for life at NYU. I don't really have time for surgery!
