exam break 5

After a promising start, tim's resolution to post more, er, posts has fallen as flat as, er, a very flat object. Like a flat screen tv. Now that's flat. I mean have you seen how flat a flat screen tv is? It's so flat you could eat off it. Cause eating on a slanting surface is tricky. You don't want to be chasing food around. I shoulda known anyway. His first few posts filled and brightened up my day, but like any of my relationships, it started off seemingly good but was never destined to be a lasting fulfilling thing. Filling me with cautious hope and trepidation - could this be it? - and then dashing my fragile emotions on the cruel rawks of reality. Yes I spelled rawks with an A and a W. Why?

Because I can.

And because I miss A&W waffles and root beer.

erh yeah.

I guess I'd better admit it - I'm studying for USMLE - again. And the exam pwned my face - AGAIN. I was planning to keep it on the down low, scheduled to sit for it in May, then proudly announce my wonderful results while yelling IN YER FACE SUCKAARRRRRRRHHHHZZZ in June. But after paying my exam fees and getting confirmation of the exam (yes this time they accepted my application to sit for it - already 100% more achieved than the last attempt) I get told by the NBME later on that there are no more spots in Halifax in May. So how? Fly to Hamilton (45 mins drive from Toronto) to sit for it, in the process paying $600 for flights and hostel and etc, or pay $185 international surchange and sit for it in M'sia. In June.

grh.

The cosmos are seemingly conspiring against my sitting for this exam. Curse you Mars! Curse youuuuu *shakes fist angrily*

Anyway. Studying biochem again sucks hairy giant balls. Like watermelon-size rambutans. That have Fornier's Gangrene. Gasp medical jokes. Woe is me.

I've found, in my peri-exam-preparation mode, while surfing youtube, that a great many ppl have done covers of Rihanna's Umbrella. I must admit that I didn't enjoy the song at first but it's kinda grown on me. Kinda like a facial tumour. Ok no more medical jokes. Back to the topic at very pertinent hand, covers of Umbrella.
Mandy Moore's done it, Marie Digby, Plain White Ts, All Time Low, Manic Street Preachers, Lillasyster, McFly, Vanilla Sky, only about a million not-so-famous people and goodness knows who else.

It's like a list of pretentious has beens. Or an autistic dyslexic with CP and MR trying to write an essay - random words strung together that only have meaning to the person who chose them.

Vanilla Sky's version is worth taking a look at though. Yes I actually sat through and watched 10 different versions of the same song. It's an exam break, gimme a break.



LOL
Shivers down my spine man. Geliness. Feel the skin crawl. Homophobe is me.

Back to sucking watermelon sized rambutans.
