ALSO!! Before I was just throwing around the idea of going back to school just cos I was kinna bored and unsatisfyed with my art and the fact that I was becoming "complacent", but I think I really am going to go back to school now. cambryn and her friend Matt took me to Gemini School of Art and man, it is perfect. We did a little portfolio review with the owners and just talked with them for a couple hours and it was really inspiring, I feel like if I did do the course there, all the missing pieces would be filled in, and I could get a job anywhere. Anyway, dunno how I could pay for it but I'm just excited, I hope I can figure out a way to get in.

Warner Brothers has released the full "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" screenplay on their website in anticipation of the upcoming awards season. This coming along with the news that numerous categories have been submitted for consideration by WB.

My reaction to this episode can be summarised into two categories.

1) HOLY SHIT YES!!!!
2) *...facepalm*

( spoilery episode review: OH, BOYS! )

I'm either developing a cold or secondary bacterial pneumonia from the swine flu. I kind of hope it's a cold, because that kind of pneumonia I've had before and you can only get rid of it with antibiotics, and it blows.

My trachea is all f*cked up and when I take a deep breath I feel like I'm wearing a corset; there's this pressure on my ribcage (NO IT'S NOT MY TITS, SHUT UP, I'M USED TO THAT WEIGHT) and it feels weird.

bleh.

Oh well, time to clean the house!

aside from the show... (which was great!)

i am sick again for the second time in two weeks. my roommates are sick again, and i blame them and everyone's lack of cleanliness and sharing of pipes when germs are still afoot!

my foot is still in disrepair and it's frustrating. the weather had actually been nice for a while and i have been unable to ride my bike or walk for long distances without regretting it the next day to find my foot still in pain. i feel sluggish and out of shape. i've been aching to start running. baby steps. once around the block at least? all the people i have crushes on have such nice legs. i want to be able to keep up if anything would ever come to pass. yeah right.

i guess i shouldn't do anything this weekend but rest so that i'll be ok for my trip to atlanta. i'm excited but at the same time it's costing me a lot of money that i dont have. the same deal goes with the trumpet. at least i could sell it again if i have to. i get it tomorrow. i guess i could always change my mind.

i want to be a cavalier blowing my horn as the enemy rises over the hill.



i'm watching a fantastic movie right now. lately i've been enjoying remembering things that i used to love when i was younger. like watching 4 or 5 movies a night alone in my room (instead of doing my homework) fantasizing about living in their worlds real or otherwise.

i apologize for being a bad pen pal.




insurrectos!



ps they found water on the moon.

Now this is the perfect fic length for me.

Give me a pairing and/or a prompt, and I will write you a one sentence ficlet.

Does that technically even qualify as a ficlet? I am not up on fic lingo.

This makes me think of Hemmingway's six word story. These will not be nearly that good, but feel free to challenge me nonetheless.

Highlights from the latest Daily Show headline coverage and guest interviews from the week of November 9th.

Artses: I PWN!!!! I finished camelotsolstice and happy_trekmas over the last two days. So now I have the whole weekend to chillax and revise at leisure. \o/

Gen Psych, Oh My!: So I'm back from my first week of suburban hospital psychiatry. Very interesting so far. :D My consultant is a rather stern Irish lady, and I suspect she'll expect me to do a lot of work T_T.

Next week, I'm going on a home visit with a psych nurse to assess a man with suspected paranoid schizophrenia. :O And after that, I'll be visiting the forensic psych department at the local prison. :O :O Hannibal Lecter, whut.

Surgery again, or not...: I've once again been pondering specialties . I've got to know some other surgery enthusiasts in my year. And omg, it's embarrassing how stereotypically rubbish and uninterested they are with patient communication skills. T_T

And you know what.... I love putting a smile on a patient's face when they can see that I have their best interests at heart. Every time I observe consultations, I review how I would conduct the interview differently (this sadly happens all too frequently – some doctors are totally dreadful!). Plus I've been complimented on my good communication skills before.

I like making people happy, and now I'm realising that surgery isn't necessarily the only way I'd be good at doing so. :D

The future is bright and full of possibilities. :D ♥

Sucky Doctor Is Sucky: Speaking of bad doctors.... Today I was sitting in with a GP as he reviewed this little two year old African girl brought in by her mother. The GP reviewed the girl's notes prior to the consultation, and saw that the mother had brought her little girl to the GP last winter and had been prescribed Calpol.

(For those not in the know: Calpol is an over-the-counter paracetamol preparation for children, and when prescribed by a doctor, it is free)

The doctor went on a huge rant about how this mother was obviously manipulating the system in order to get her free Calpol, to the detriment of the sick child who couldn't get medicine until the doctor saw her. I was like >.> but said nothing.

And then! The mother comes in with her sick girl, and it's blindingly obvious to me that the reason why she doesn't give any medicine to her girl before seeing the doc is because she believes she needs doctor approval first, in case she causes more harm than good.

And this GP was so abrupt with the mother, sharply asking her why she “didn't bother to give her girl any Calpol, she's been sick all night!” And the poor mother (who's English wasn't that great) was just looking placidly at the GP, waiting to be told what to do. After she'd gone, the GP turned to me and was all like “Can you see what irresponsible mothers I have to deal with!?”

I kept silent, but I was honestly rather taken aback by the whole incident. He seemed to completely miss the cultural variables that were at play here. *facepalm*
