Irony

Define 'Irony'... two homeless alcoholics sitting on the steps of the RCSI main building, drinking from bottles in paper bags at 8pm on a Sunday night. I stood at the LUAS stop waiting to go home and thought to myself, "Hey, I'm sure I'll be treating them soon."

The past two weeks have been bonkers. I've been running around doing just about anything other than what I feel a second-year medical student should be doing. I've had basketball games, helped the orchestration of an intercollegiate case competition, I've conducted photo shoots, I've pieced together promo reels and prize reels, run audio and video for events, and sat on a counter and sold lollipops. I was at a mall yesterday, sitting in a starbucks, talking about my former life as a teacher and my head nearly exploded. It was a "hey, wait, where am I?" moment.

Anyway, the four videos I put together are available on youtube. I'll post the promo reel at the end of this post, and the other 3 can be found through my youtube profile. I'm taking Saturday to decompress, clean my room, do laundry, put together a grocery list, send out long overdue emails, sign up for the USMLE, upload photos to facebook, organise my notes, and generally get my life in order.

Tomorrow begins the massive study necessary for me to actually pass the quiz coming up on Wednesday. I actually breathed a sigh of relief when I put together my calendar for next week. I have a game on Monday, mass on Tuesday, and Ballad Sessions on Friday... that's nothing. It's like a big, wide open week of free time. Then I wonder how the hell I get myself into so much stuff. Study, study, study! AHHH! Ok, I'm going to bake some cookies, because that seems like the best thing to do right now.

Peace,
~LLL
