Cut-loss week

My second "shouldn't have gotten out of bed this morning" day this week. On Tuesday I was going to go swimming so drove to uni instead of walking, only to circle the campus for half an hour in fruitless search for a parking spot with the petrol meter already in the red. Then decided to screw it and went to find fuel. The first place I went to, as bad luck would have it, was completely out, so had to cross the suburb to fill up. The punchline? Couldn't have gone swimming anyway, because there was a school carnival on that day at the pool. I managed to tun the day around by treating myself to an icecream - panacea! - and it was actually quite productive study-wise.

Today we had a derm clinic: utter waste of time. There were about two patients in two hours. We ended up getting taught stuff off the internet, no joke. And got my first taste of hardcore pimpage from this toolish Viet reg who quizzed us on all the obscure immunomodulator drugs you can use on BCC's while he cut one out of a lady's neck. The other reg, on the other hand, was the one who had given us a lecture yesterday, and he only expected us to know how to identify macules, papules, etc etc. when we split up I made sure to be in the latter's group! Har.

Luckily we got to leave early so did a bit of study in the library and got a gross but cheapo lunch from the subterranean caf. Whose idea was it, by the way, to put the poor paeds wards underground, circles-of-hell style? Then left to drive to the city where they randomly scheduled two lectures. Foiled by bearshit again, this time in the form of a frigging monsoon. Guess who didn't bring an umbrella? And wore a white shirt? And got soaked down to her unmentionables? Gah. The car was no refuge either as could hardly see through the fogged-up windows and had to drive illegally sans glasses because they made my vision even worse. Was gung-ho at first and was going to soldier on to the lectures but finally decided that listening to two dudes read off Powerpoint slides wasn't worth indecent exposure, pneumonia, or a ten car pileup.

IV icecream please.
