APAMSA Health Fair and Soccer Game vs Jefferson

Hey guys

 

Thanks to Chris Chow's need for updates, which i was planning to do for a little while anyway, I decided to take pictures of what i did for this past weekend BESIDES studying. It was quite an event filled weekend with lotsa good times!

 

The first picture is a picture of the APAMSA health fair. Basically what happens is there is a fair put together for the underserved vietnamese community in north philadelphia. We got to practice little things to help out the community, including taking blood pressures(which i just learned how to do, haha im so noob) and also do glucose and cholesterol tests. There was really good Temple representation there (about 25-30 students?) who showed up and helped out. There were about 15 drexel students there as well and I saw this one dude who i totally thought might have gone to UCLA, but I didn't really know him at UCLA(or not enough to remember his name anyway), i just sorta recognized his face under his huge mat of hair, so i didn't bother to ask if he went to ucla, but i guess i should of. ALSO we got a ton of good food afterward, and i ate like 5 eggrolls with that sweet dipping sauce, plus spring rolls with the peanut brown sauce. DELISH!

 

The second picture is my classmate Joe taking a cholesterol test for me. We had been doing the tests throughout the morning and after it cleared out a little bit we resorted to testing each other. I am proud to say my cholesterol is a stunning 100 even(I think anything under 200 is considered okay), despite the fact that i eat so much steak here. Must be the exercise. (Also notice the stethoscope around my neck. I Looked hella legit hahaha, but you guys all know better)

 

Third picture! It's a picture of the Temple Med Soccer team that i play with. Today we played against Jefferson Medical school and we won a convincing 2-0. It was our first victory in 3 games, even though we're still undefeated. We tied the first game 4-4 and tied the second game 3-3. We're on our way to victory! yayuh hahah.

 

Fourth Picture is an in-game action shot. I was taking pictures while i was playing and the person was passing the ball to me. JK. But it was a pretty intense game, and it required a ton of testicular fortitude on our players' parts(and ovarian fortitude for the girls i guess) to pull out the victory, but everyone played hard despite the early morning 9am game and and we were rewarded with the W.

 

Fifth Picture is a picture of Oscar, one of my teammmates' dog, who acts as the mascot for our team. If you didn't know, the Temple mascot is an Owl, so she bought the most AWESOME mask I have ever seen and put it on her dog. Oscar was trying to get it off for the longest time but he was unsuccessful so he was stuck playing our awesome cheerleader the whole game. What a trooper.

 

Anyway, that's it for now, off to Dim Sum down the street!
