It's always depressing for an English major medical student to find end-of-the-year book lists and realize he's only heard of one of the books on the list, and read none of them.
But at least I don't have mono, said the PA at University Health Services today! Maybe that means I'll feel like non-crap just in time to half-ass a bunch of finals projects I have this semester that I would have loved to focus on without fevers, chills, and sweats.
Update: No more fevers, but I didn't do any better on Slate's Best Books of 2006.
It still happens to me, that people will mention books, or music, or movies, or TV shows, and then they'll be surprised when I don't know what they're talking about. I ask, "when was that?"
ReplyDelete"Oh, about 1985."
"I was in medical school then."
"Oh. That explains it."
I hate to tell you this, but residency is just as bad.
