it has been forever.
i hope you are all ok!

i'm in my 3rd year at medical school, which means i'm on the wards doing real doctory things. i only have a couple of lectures a week but the rest of the time i'm in clinics or on ward rounds or just loitering in A&E. it's incredibly fulfilling but also very hard work. i tend to be tired most of the time.

i have wednesday afternoons off, which is convenient cause that's when Kickboxing is on at uni. i also go on monday and thursday evenings if i can. i'm now at green belt and i do competitions and stuff, it never gets less scary. on the "fitness" topic, after the success of my 5km race for life i am doing a 10km charity run this summer. this is despite the fact i've been suffering from stupid stupid muscular pain in my distal peroneals and deep planter flexors. Two GPs are baffled but in typical GP style i have been prescribed about a gazillion NSAIDs (50mg diclofenac TDS and topical piroxicam to be precise). i'm just going to sneak into the chem labs and do my own bloods if i get desperate, i figure an FBC, U+Es, LFTs, CK and my CRP will do it.

Other things that occur in life:
I work at Game on Western Road, Brighton, 4-6 hours a week (on a saturday). It is rather fun and gives me a reason not to think about medicine. it's rather refreshing and i also am basically the piss-take mascot of the guys. yeahhh
Bones is the best TV Show ever.
I have to move out of my house in 2 and a half months but we don't have a new one lined up yet. Err.
i think i have a cold coming on.
my rabbit rocks.
