The Weekend of a Hemodialysis Student
Goes a little bit something like this!
I decided to reward myself until 4:30 (Dinner time) with a nice relaxing break of NOTHING to do. Then I am going to get a big chunk of my blood chapter read and take notes on it. Its not the most exciting material in the world so I am going to try my best to make it as exciting as possible.
Then I will do that till about 10 and go to sleep. The rest of the weekend is going to be filled with much of the same. Next week is a short week due to the holiday so we are not really going to cover much, BUT I have a feeling that this blood test is going to kick my ass if I dont study for it.
We did a little mini review today and I realized that I dont really know as much as I would like to. This is the last unit in Anatomy. After this we are going to get to the juicy stuff! Renal Diseases and Disorders! :D I cannot wait.
Some days it feels like we are just dragging along but now that I think about it we are doing pretty well. We are about to start Unit 3 out of 7. 4 more to go and Ill be in clinicals actually doing this job! Scary thought! Lol

Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to wildly overthinking things
Friday's big release was Qwen 3.8 27B, an Apache 2 licensed 27B parameter vision-capable LLM from Alibaba's Qwen research lab. I've been looking forward to this one: 27B is an excellent size for running a model on a reasonably specced laptop, and its prede...

Birding photos from Dutch Gap on Aug 15, 2026 My best bird photo from this morning is a dragonfly (Eastern Pondhawk, I think). Least Sandpiper Green Heron Red-headed Woodpecker. It's a juvenile, so its head is not actually red yet.
