BLOOD DIAMOND

I just came back from one of the best films I've seen in a long time...Blood diamond...(thanks jason for posting the trailer)...it was really really good - I was in tears for a good half of the movie - good tears - but don't let that put you off - you have to go and see it!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd say its en par with Hotel Rowanda...

Other than that no news....went to a surgical careers fayre on monday and got completely freaked out...I knew it would be a lot of work and competitive but I don't think I understood just how bad it was, even so I was prepared for the competition part but apparently if you don't make it, you have to side track into a different area like assistant to... from which really hard to get back on course. Anywho, we'll see what happens I guess. Feels very strange, it seem like I've just arrived in England and already they are telling me I'm almost done my 2nd year - This time next year I'll be starting my clinical rotations....i.e. I'll actually have to answer all their questions (CORRECTLY)....I hope I don't choke (as I'm prone to do)...

We learned how to check the peripheral nervous system today...and we practised on each other - of course (apparently according to my 'colleague' I elicit no reflexes...oh well...as long as I can on the actor they bring in for the exam I'll be fine I guess..

Anywho I'm going to leave you now and sleep....class in the morning n all that...

bye bye
