some cool things

[fahye]

1) elsewhere_kels has recorded Quickening Days as a podbook, complete with cover! I haven't listened to all of it yet, but it's exciting to hear my own story in this form, and she reads very well.

2) I don't know if 'cool' is quite the right word for it, but this is one of the best and clearest pieces of writing on rape that I've seen in a long time. (Linked by Tris on GR.)

3) I have ordered the Toronto Notes. STUDYING WILL OCCUR.

4) I am watching Band of Brothers for the first time ever. I keep having to turn the volume down so that my roommate is not startled by explosions.

Yeah, our rotations are just The Things We Will Know Better Than Everything Else, seeing as how we'll be examined on our self-taught ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

I don't think it's HARD, I just think it's BORING, so I also tend to forget it as soon as the book closes. Just can't summon the energy to care about it.

We have, like, a series of mandatory core ones, and then 12 weeks to fill with whatever our hearts desire (as long as it spans three different residency entry points).

That is actually my feeling on onc, but I feel bad even saying that because like, IT'S IMPORTANT, but all the cells and genes make me sleepy.

The only mandatory internal med block we have is Geriatrics. Blah.

I think we have exactly the same preferences when it comes to specialties! UGH. ONC.

Awww. Yeah, we just have a big blocked labeled Internal, and whatever we get, we get.

Possibly! I don't really want to specialize, though, I'm a slacker primary care type at heart.
