every stitch is stitched in time

It figures: I break hiatus and promptly have an immensely boring day. I studied for many, many, MANY hours (the cranial nerves & I might actually be negotiating a truce! it's a miracle!), cut the music for Saturday's Supanova skit, and designed pattern pieces for Mai's coat. That's...pretty much it.

I've also consumed my body weight in tea, with the result that my voice is sounding better than it should considering that it's been weeks since I had a choir rehearsal; I've been amusing myself jumping from tenor-part to soprano-part in 'Will I?' from RENT, which is usually a good test of how flexible my range is.

Tomorrow: Sunday Supanova skit rehearsal, shopping for bits'n'bobs for my costumes, and then I am going to conquer the basal ganglia once and for all. THAT'S RIGHT, SUBSTANTIA NIGRA. I'M COMING FOR YOU AND YOUR HIDEOUS INHIBITORY INTERCONNECTIONS.

the way dreams have of sticking to the soul

I have a bag of salted pistachios, some peach Zappos, a pile of teabags and an iPod full of musicals to tap my feet to. AND I UNDERSTAND THE BASAL GANGLIA. I'm tempted to scan in a page of my study-notes so you can all see just how close I am to achieving the traditional illegibility of the medical professional.

Now to memorise pages of neuropharmacology. Bromocriptine amantadine levodopa/carbidopa selegiline benztropine blah blah sodding blah, and those are just the ones for Parkinson's. Someone needs to characterise the personality of the average medical student; I think it'd be a fascinating mixture of obsessive personality trait, Type A, and just a touch of masochism.

Somewhat to my own surprise, however, I am becoming progressively more certain that I'm on the right career path.

THE 'BUT' MEME

Masterminded by ryokophoenix, inspired by How I Met Your Mother, and hosted here as a form of stress relief. I'm a med student on the edge! DO THE MEME. Ahem.

WHAT'S MY 'BUT'?

The concept is explained in this video:

How would you promote your friends to a third party, and what caveat would you add?

This is an anonymous meme -- IP logging is off -- so comment with your username and then link people to the comment*, and go around leaving anon comments for everyone else you know. To keep the balance, I suggest keeping responses in the form provided by the show: two selling points, and a 'but'.
