congratulations class of 2007!
You guys are amazing and have made my experience in optometry school so much more fun that I ever thought it could be. :) Thanks for making the last four years so memorable.
I uploaded pictures to my pics page, including more recent ones from Old Home Week and Graduation.
For those of you who asked me for it, I also uploaded a copy of the slideshow I made with the pictures that you all gave me. It's a lower quality version because it's already pretty big at 58.5MB, so it's best not to play it full screen. To download it, right click the link below, and then save it to your computer:

Hope you don't have problems reading .wmv files. If you don't want to download it, here's an embedded file you can watch now:

I thought I'd put some of the stuff I made over this past year and a half while in optometry school--maybe it'll help someone out while they're studying for boards? Anyway, refer to them at your own risk!
For the flashcard documents, I set the size of the page so that I could easily print it out on a 4x6 (or 3x5 for the drugs) notecard. You may have to tweak the margins a little to get it to look right.

Review of human biology (pdf)A pdf version of a powerpoint file from the Dallas Convention. It consists of a whopping 397 slides and is around 38MB even after I compressed the pictures. There are a lot of good detailed, colored pictures, so I left it in color, with one slide per page. Besides anatomy, it also covers other topics like pharmacology and biochemistry. For a smaller 28MB file, here is a black and white, 2 slide/page version. Thanks to Marisa for sharing.
