This was perfect, as it gave me the opportunity to set up and enjoy another new toy &#8211; my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.us.playstation.com\/ps3\">PS3<\/a>. Considering that I never grew up with consoles like the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nintendo_Entertainment_System\">NES<\/a>, I don&#8217;t think I could ever have imagined having TWO gaming systems in my household. I don&#8217;t have any games yet, but the plan is to replace my multimedia PC for streaming music and movies. Speaking of games, we also finally finished <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/sites\/supermariogalaxy\/\">Super Mario Galaxy<\/a> this weekend, after many adrenaline-filled hours of dodging fireballs, collecting star bits, and jumping onto moving platforms. Meanwhile, I also did some reading to pass my certification for <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Advanced_cardiac_life_support\">ACLS<\/a> last week. Now I&#8217;ll know how to properly yell &#8220;I&#8217;m clear, you&#8217;re clear, everyone CLEAR!&#8221; before shocking the unfortunate soul who goes into cardiac arrest during intern start week. Trust me, you don&#8217;t want to have to go to the hospital around this time of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With only days to go before internship starts, I spent much of the past week basking in my air-conditioned room to escape the sweltering heat wave.
