(Well, technically, dental student, but dentist sounds better. Also, if you read my story about the triathlete, you’ll see a recurring theme. I used to be like Charlie Brown kicking the football when it comes to women.)
Skip down to SEXY TIMES if inclined.
When I was 24, I was in grad school doing a rotation at a lab on the West Coast for a few months. My program was cheap so I was on my own dime to get out there and find housing. Being a broke-ass grad student, I was only able to afford a temporary room in an off-campus student housing apartment complex associated with the school. I definitely could not afford to rent a car, so I had to take the city bus into the lab. It was a long, boring ride and I hated it, but it was my only option. It seemed like his was going to be a pretty dull few months of lab drudgery. That is, until I met Carly.
