No more sexy time for you

Thank God for California and it's hard-line, no nonsense legislators. California announced today that they have closed two major loopholes in state law, thus making it harder for teachers who have committed sex crimes to remain teachers. Personally, I had no idea there was a state in the country where teachers could sleep with their students and keep their job. If I had, I would have moved there long ago and gone back to high school. And stayed there. But no longer shall immoral teachers corrupt our youth, not while the Governator is on the job. Damn you Schwarzenegger, how dare you make our children safer.

On a more serious note, it amazes me that this is even an issue. But I suppose that only in California could this law go overlooked. And I think it demonstrates a stark contrast (and iron contrast?) between state laws. In California your now less likely to keep your job if you have sex with a student, where as in the south you may or may not be executed for the offense...

Ill-Tempered Blankets

Another interesting headline: Army to step up offensive Afghan operations this winter.

I have yet to encounter this in medical school, but when I do I will be sure to update everyone on the specifics of the surgical corrective procedures used for bed-spreads lacking etiquette.

I took my first med school test yesterday. I was scared to death as I had hear rumors that, on average, 40% of the class will fail the first test. I don't know if there is any truth to that, but I only missed two questions on the test. Yay, I passed with a 93%.
