Today was the full dress rehearsal for the cultural night tomorrow. Was feeling so nervous, had to drag pupiaks along so many times just to get some practice at the hospital chapel's piano (poor thing, I'm making him page turner.... he wants to bonk my head with paper in return though :S) but hurrah it went ok during the rehearsal earlier on. So a bit more practice tomorrow maybe at the chapel and the last rehearsal and then it's shows on! Whopee! Can't wait to get it done!

Been thinking if I want to perform at the Thanksgiving service this year as well. Steinway piano up on offer I'm told. Gosh! I really want to, but playing what? And it's in September as well. Do I have enough time to practice and polish whatever pieces up I wonder? Do I still want to perform at the end of year's thingy?

As for the more geeky side of things, I suppose gen med is going ok so far. Can't say this is the best sort of run though. I much rather the short and brief ward rounds of surg than the leg jellying hours long gen med ones. And if I'm that desperate for patient contact then I'll take the less physically active one then. Standing the whole morning for one round is a bit much I say lol. I've done the first patient case history and shall hand it in tomorrow. Thinking if I should skip ward round early and start on my second in the morning, since there's no way I'm going to be really that free during the afternoon. Evening time is certainly out for sure now.

I should really get started some time on the presentation as well I suppose but I'm not motivated. Thinking of getting it done during the upcoming holidays. Lol.

Path these days are consisting mostly of dermatology pictures and slides. Lots of really scary skin lesions and lots of slides made up of cells and keratin. Hard to tell them apart though, but I least I get the general idea - pink cells with dark brownish (?) nuclei everywhere and then weird blue ones occasionally or lobulated nuclei here and there and dead skin bits right on the top. So very medical indeed.

I can't imagine how terrible life must be with psoriasis and all those other skin conditions. That one episode of whatever dermatitis on my neck and legs really made me afraid at one point that my skin would look ugly forever and I remember trying to cover my neck up with scarves and what not most of the time too. And golly that itch! I wonder if that is how scabies must be like as well?? Ugh!
