I think all my high school teachers and most of my friends would have pegged me as an English major, but I never expected it myself. I came to Dartmouth thinking I would major in psych, get a PhD, and become a clinical psychologist something that's still not completely out of the question, but it now seems less appealing to me than scribbling stories or pushing paint around. Ultimately, I chose my major based on which subject would make for the least painful all-nighter. I settled on studio art and creative writing. I've pulled all-nighters for both, but I've found that being in the studio at 4 a.m. is surprisingly enjoyable and stories are much easier to write in the middle of the night than essays.

The Rhode Island Central Falls school district which was lauded by President Barack Obama in March for holding its staff accountable for student performance after firing 87 district employees has reached an agreement with the teachers union that will allow all staff members to retain their jobs, the Associated Press reported Monday. The district's board of trustees approved the firing when negotiations about school improvements which would compel teachers to work more hours without an increase in pay fell through. Since the school's board of trustees made the decision to fire the employees, a mediator has been working between the district and the union, the AP reported. According to the new agreement, the 87 employees can retain the jobs they were due to lose at the end of the year without having to reapply, but the agreement also provides for the lengthening of the school day and an increase in the availability of after school tutoring, according to the AP.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, along with three other hospitals in the Northeast, participated in a chain of kidney transplants this week, WMUR Manchester reported Thursday. Four donor surgeries took place simultaneously at DHMC, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and two hospitals in New Jersey. The kidneys were then transported separately by plane to their recipients at the other hospitals, where the transplant surgeries occurred later the same day, WMUR reported. The surgeries were "live transplants," meaning that the kidneys were taken from living rather than dead donors. Live transplants tend to last longer and have a lower rate of rejection than transplants from donors who have died, WMUR reported. The chain of surgeries allowed family members to obtain kidneys for their sick loved ones, even when they were not matches themselves, according to WMUR.
