yesterday's exam was a lot more painful than it needed to have been... jim is right, the last written exam of our student years and it asks us to make up bullshit. example: give three examples from your rural rotation to illustrate how doctors need to have three competencies for effective team practice. it was basically make-belief story time. what a complete waste of time and energy!
afterwards, a bunch of us saw "2046". it was pretty incredible. i love film with intertwining stories and complexities, especially when they have such exquisite cinematography and costumes. the dialogues in three languages were a bit weird though - thank god for the english subtitles... the same goes for "downfall" i suppose (it was in german). saw that with lou on monday. the acting was very good. and the story - well they didn't actually have to exaggerate or embellish anything - the truth is terrible enough (frau goebbels poisoning her six children is possibly the most chilling scene in film history). the only problem was i kept doing a mental state examination on hitler throughout the movie, ticking off the symtoms and signs of schizophrenia, wondering if these were actually interfering with his occupational and social functioning (i decided they were - after all, he was losing the war). i can see this becoming a very annoying habit.
today is possibly one of the most significant days in rock music history - pink floyd *worships worships* is reforming to play live 8 at hyde park, london. omfg. i'd give anything to be there. and what's worse is it's going to be on foxtel only. what is wrong with you free-to-air people?!?! @#%&$!!
aaaaand finally, intern preferences are closed. the next three weeks won't go fast enough for any of us, i'm sure...

Well, if you were in the other cohort, you could be stressing out a lot more now instead of..stressing less.
And it's all make believe. It always has been.
And I can live in denial quite happily, thank you, so I can wait the weeks out.
