for some reason this past week has been stressful. more stressful than the end of 2nd and 3rd years where we had exams or practicals every single week for like 12-15 straight weeks. western liscencing exams are next weekend and since spring break starts this weekend, we won't be in school next week. meaning i won't have a chance to screen for ( Read more... )

sad that michelle kwan had to pull outta the olympics. woulda been nice to see her try for the gold. not the way an elite athlete should go out. admire how she left, w/ class and by giving someone else a chance to compete. she didn't try to wait it out and see if she could go on the day of the competition. i'll admit that i never really watched ( Read more... )

i need to get with it. the olympics starting yesterday totally caught me off guard. watched some of it today while taking old boards tests(ughhh harder than i thought). luge is ridiculous, not to mention scary. you won't see me in one of those skintight suits ever. i even watched some pairs figure skating. why? nothing better on will be my best ( Read more... )

uneventful weekend that went by in a blink of an eye(like all weekends). happy chinese new year(ok so it's no longer chinese new year). i think my mind is bout to shut itself off. watched the aussie open final till bout 630 yesterday nite(morning?). federer was struggling, but he pulled it off in the end. baghdatis is fun to watch(esp his preserve ( Read more... )

if you don't wanna be depressed don't read this part of the entry. i had emergency rotation today. the patient that i saw had a med condition that was the most complicated that i've ever seen so far. some of the things he's had- a heart attack, a few minor strokes, blind in one eye, has glaucoma, hypertension, angina, hiv+, gerd(acid reflux), ( Read more... )

i've been lazy. haven't updated since july 2nd. that's bout 6 months ago. lots has happened since then. went home(gained some weight), came back, went home(gained some more weight, i swear i sit lower in my chair now) and came back again. in between those trips home, there has been school. we have nothing but clinic(and a bs class here and there).
