I just submitted a paper for my surgical rotation and decided to start writing a blog post (Note: I actually started writing this post on September 21st....this surgery rotation is keeping me busy!). I didn't realize that it has been over a month since I've posted! I have so much to write about, but I will have to be brief as I am in the midst of my most dreaded rotation of my third year of medical school: Surgery.
A few weeks ago, it was Farley and my third year anniversary. The actual anniversary date we had to be in the psychiatry unit, but after work we went to the gym then out to dinner. There is an Italian resturant in Astoria that gets great reviews and requires a reservation (which I hear is unusual in Astoria). Anyway, Farley got reservations for us. They were running about an hour behind so we had a glass of wine in the wine bar, which was great because they had a pianist playing Our dinner was fabulous! The next night, we headed into Midtown to go see "The Lion King" at the Minskoff Theater. I really wanted to go see a Broadway show while we were in New York City, so we decided to go for our anniversary. The only real problem we had was deciding which show to go to. I wanted to go to the Addams Family, Chicago, West Side Story, Wicked or Lion King. Farley on the other had, wanted to see the Phantom of the Opera, but he didn't really want to see a show at all. I had seen the Lion King last winter in Spokane and loved it. I thought it would be a show Farley would enjoy and so we finally agreed to get tickets for it. Thankfully, I was correct: he enjoyed it.
The weekend after that was Labor Day Weekend. We got to have a three day weekend! We decided to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We spent all day looking around the museum. It was such a fun day. Here are some pictures:

Below: They had rooms set up to show what a time period looked like. I loved those rooms in the American Wing. Here are some pictures!
Below: They have a lot of Egyptian art work at the Met. They even have a real life Temple! Below is a picture of the Temple of Dendur.
They had middle ages weapons. I can tell you which one of us enjoyed this exhibit more: Farley!
Here is a Chinese Warrior's uniform!
