The sun rises when I'm already on the bus on the way to school and feels like it sets shortly after lunch (it probably sets around 4:00 in real life). I have been craving sushi a lot lately. And chocolate, poutine and romance. I guess the last one is probably normal around this 'holiday' time of the year combined with the fact that our current unit is "The Life Cycle" -yes, it is the sex unit. Shout out to P. Ellison for teaching some mad solid reproductive endocrinology in evolutionary biology (bio anthro) a couple years ago -it is serving me well here.
But actually, I guess I am tired at last about talking about med school. Life outside of med school feels like, I don't know, coconuts growing on pine trees in the dead of winter, in Quebec. Rare. And wonderful. I'm sure I'll want to talk about it again at some point in the not-so-far-away future, but not now. I am tired now -my absolute refractory period for studying after taking an exam seems to have lengthened. I want to sleep a lot, I don't like waking up, but I love eating. I recently saw the new Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman (sexiest man alive indeed!) movie "Australia" -highly enjoyable. I am a "co-overseer" (read: co-pres) for the McGill Osler Society, "dedicated to raising awareness of the medical humanities", specifically responsible for finances (thank you WorldMUN for stamping me permanently with a "she is a legit money guarder" sign in all subsequent extra-curricular involvement ;), and helping organize the weekly lecture series.
I am going swimming later this evening and look forward to reuniting with a much missed "killer 8". This is Take 2. Take 1 was unsuccessful in setting up any kind of routine when I subsequently fell quite ill. But Take 2's a winner -I can feel it.
I need a haircut. I miss my sister very much -can't wait till she comes home. I want to read for pleasure. And I would like to spend a day watching movies with a common "theme" -like all Meg Ryan, or made in 1993, or nominated-but-did-not-win an Oscar, or starts with the letter "G", or has the word "after" in the title. I also would like to cook a very elaborate meal. Like a seven-course dinner or something for some people I love, and then play 'Taboo' or 'Pictionary' and have someone else make the same "When Harry Met Sally" reference that I would be thinking about and yell out "Baby- Fishmouth!" and then we would toss our hair and eat some shrimp and olives, and laugh so intensely it would be mute laughter.
Well that's a nice thought. But for now, back to catching up on that lecture I skipped yesterday morning in the name of sleep and sanity.
