Freddie Mercury Said It Best...

Accompanied by my good friend Miguel de la Ryan, I made my first trek (ha ha ha) via bicycle to the OHSU campus this morning. After significant heated deliberation, we decided against attempting to ford the river (to avoid losing any precious oxen), and chose to take the Ross Island Bridge instead. The ride was actually pretty reasonable; we made it to the base of the tram in a brisk 23 minutes, with the entire door-to-door trip rounding out at about 35 minutes. I am now officially 1/30th of the way to receiving my sweet "commuter all star" $50 bicycling incentive! Woo!

On a related note, I will personally offer a 1000-point "avid reader incentive" to the first person to correctly guess the reason behind my recent purchase of the stylish eyewear seen below. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

  1. Tired of bugs punching you in the eyeballs maybe?

    Either that or some type of horribly inneffective defense against lasers/radtation/blood splatter or a multitude of other dangers that I can only assume run rampant in and or around med school.

  2. Hmmmmm....related note....must have something to do with your ride to school? I'll go with bugs as well. Because if it was anything else (sun glare, for example)...you certainly could have found something a little more stylish ;)
    Although, I personally would want to wear them while working with the cadavers. Along with a full-body suit. Like astronauts wear.

  3. Cassi, the "related note" was actually just in reference to the bicycling incentive, since I was offering a similar incentive of my own.

    Coincidentally, the reason that you would personally use them is actually very close to the answer I'm looking for.

    As for Ariston, one of your assumed medical school dangers is very close as well.
