This weekend was our annual Galen's Tag Days, where med students brave the cold in Ann Arbor to stand outside and raise money for Mott Children's Hospital as well as various children's organizations within Washtenaw County. I tagged in the hospital, on Main Street during Midnight Madness (the yearly night when everything downtown is open until midnight for shopping), and at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube during the synchronized skating competition. We made a good amount of money, but we won't know the final count for a while. Last year we made over $75k, so hopefully we get up there again this year. Luckily it wasn't nearly as cold as it was last year during Tag Days, so while it was still chilly, I wasn't frozen solid.
In other news, I am trying to re-learn how to play the oboe to maybe play in the Smoker band, which is essentially the pit orchestra for our annual musical faculty roast. Could be fun, but it's been a very very long time since I've played anything for real. Ten and a half years!!! Wow. I can't believe it's been that long since high school. Anyways, that's all really. Tomorrow it's back to more outpatient medicine. We are halfway through this month already, and only two weeks until I am home for Christmas! I should probably start Christmas shopping soon!
