Running in SF

The Perfect Day
So remember my post about my "perfect night"? I feel today I experienced the "perfect day" equivalent.
Here's the thing about SF. Whatever I have been doing hasn't been anything out of the ordinary. Everything just feels right here. I can't explain it any other way. Let me tell you about my day.
Woke up bright and early and treated myself to a scrumptious breakfast consisting of leftovers from the previous night. Spent a few hours reviewing Kaplan DAT material and ate some Chinese sticky rice that my aunt had left me for lunch. Delicious!
I had made plans to shadow/assist at the UCSF dental clinic and so I attempted to make my way down there via public transport. I'm honestly not very used to public transportation seeing as how I have lived in Oklahoma for the past 10 years and so unfortunately I was a bit late getting to the clinic. Not realizing that Muni ran below ground and exiting a stop too early made my first foray into SF public transportation quite memorable. I eventually made it to the dental clinic and by pure coincidence ran into Vagan, a fellow UCO alum, who's a 2nd year dental student at UCSF. Assisting in the clinic was an awesome experience. I haven't had much hands-on dental experience apart from my dental lab internship and so I really enjoyed it. The 4th year student that I assisted even encouraged my photobug tendencies which was awesome. Definitely an experience I want to remember!

St. Baldrick's
So I've been chatting with my hairstylist from the Velvet Monkey Too about St. Baldrick's and I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go ahead and do it. Regardless, I've posted a poll at the top of my blog for any visitors to vote and share their thoughts on my participation. I've never used the poll function before so it seemed like a great excuse to do so, haha.
The about blurb on the website reads:
Volunteers shave their heads in solidarity with kids fighting cancer and family and friends give generously - worldwide. The St. Baldrick's Foundation uses the donations to fund more in childhood cancer research grants than any organization except the United States Government.I've actually been talking about this with my stylist for almost a year now. At first, I asked fairly superficial questions about if I could really pull off a bald look but the more and more I thought about it - it sounded like a cause that I want to support and an event that I really want to participate in. Hearing stories and descriptions about the kids at the event and the overall atmosphere of such a cause really touched my heart.
If you are interested in shaving your head with me, you can sign up for the March 28, 2010 event at VZD's.
As soon as I finalize my registration, I will post links where you can make a donation on my behalf. Read more...
