My return to the blog

sI know that I’ve neglected this blog for quite some time now. Truth is, I realized how boring my life actually is and didn’t see the need to torture my readers (whoever you are) with the mundane details of the life of a medical student. For the readers who are still intrigued as to what the life of a medical student is really like, here it goes:


6:00am: Wake to the harmonious sounds of construction workers, heavy machinery and the beginnings of rush-hour traffic wafting through the open window of my downtown apartment.

7:00am: Re-awaken to previously mentioned construction. Roll over and attempt to re-enter the frustratingly sub-erotic dream state that I was previously in.

7:15am: Turn off alarm on cell phone and deny that this moment in time ever existed.

7:30am: Turn off second alarm on cell phone and grumble about how annoying my obsessive compulsions can be when they require me to set three alarms

7:45am: Dammit! Turn off third alarm and stumble blindly out of bed

8:45am: After feeding and self-grooming, strut to the hospital bobbing to the tunes of 70’s rock band

9:00am: Arrive just on time for surgery lecture only to realize AGAIN that surgeons don’t like teaching… Or showing up on time

11:30am: Finish classes for the day, purchase sushi and study food and return to apartment

12:30pm: Head to local book store to purchase Kevin Smith diary

12:45pm: Bask in springtime sun and waltz to local Starbucks to study surgery out of a book and begin to wonder what life could be like as a farmer.

3:00pm: Purchase bananas at local market. Share smile and chuckle with cashier over woman who asks for a different pack of cigarettes because the warning on the first one has an icky picture. Head back to apartment to study on balcony.

So there you have it. My interesting life. Notice the lack of interactions with other humans. Aside from classmates and the interactions with the clerks of aforementioned coffee shops and markets, the life of this medical student is quite boring.

Cheers
