| Yesterday Hibiscusfire, myself, and other classmates were "standardized patients" for the second year students mock clinical skills exam. I had 24 people listen to and feel my heart in four and a half hours. All in all the students were pretty sharp, but there were a few choice moments like when one student entered the room and said "Oh good, you're wearing pants...I'm going to touch you now." Another student spent a few fruitless minutes searching for my PMI (point of maximum impulse/intensity, basically trying to feel where my heart beat was) and finally resorted to gently cupping my boob. I almost busted out laughing right then and there. Poor guy. At least I got a little action.

| Last night I dreamt that Turtleflight, my mom, my aunt, and some med school friends thought it'd be a good idea to go down to the public assistance office and sign up for welfare. When we got down there we were told we had to have or purchase a used car from the government first and I thought to myself "what a scam!" so we went home.
In reality related news I'm all done with my interviews. Woohoo! Ohio was an interesting state. There, as an Asian person, I truly felt I was a minority. I saw less than 10 Asian people the 4 days I was there. At some of the hospitals when I asked about the Asian population one interviewer was actually able to name all the Asian residents (all 4 of them) for me.
I watched Art School Confidential last night and highly recommend it to anyone.

| Phew, I almost let a month pass by before blogging again. I know I'm such a sporadic blogger that I don't anyone actually reads this blog anymore, but what the hey. Tomorrow I fly out to Ohio for my last two interviews and all I can say is thank goodness it's almost over. After this will just be the horror of making my match list. Lovely.
New Year's was fun. I went out with the boy and his friends to good ol' FACES where they had multiple balloon drops with $1s, $5s, and $10s in them. Around midnight the dance floor got insanely crowded as people jostled and pushed to snag some money. Out of the 8 of us who went we came out with $2. Sweet. There was also a buffet laid out where they had a whole roast pig! There must've been some Asian people in the planning committee because it looked yummy but I was suspect as to how long the food had been sitting out so I passed.
Christmas was nice. I went home the week before for the Step 2 CS with Hibiscusfire. That was a long and painful day. I'd cry if I had to retake that thing. I guess we'll see in a couple of weeks.
In my attempt to be healthy, yet lazy, I've found that you can do a pretty good job steaming carrots in the microwave. I put baby carrots in a microwaveable bowl, put a little water in it, and nuke the shit out of them for 5 minutes. I like mushy carrots so it comes out just right for me, throw a little honey glaze on there (or in my case just squeeze some out from the little plastic bear) and you're all set. Yay technology.

| Over the Thanksgiving weekend I got to see my dog Peanut who is now living with my parents. I think it's safe to say that she's actually my mom's dog now as evidenced by the following photographs.
Exhibit A: Peanut in her hand-knit sweater made by my 92 y/o great aunt who lives with my parents. 
Exhibit B: Child's clothing that my mother bought and altered to fit the dog.
Exhibit C: Peanut's Halloween safari costume.

| Currently in Houston, Texas. Saw a sign on the way to the hotel that said "Got Syphilis?...you don't want it, but it's back." Awesome.
