Ramblings: April 26, 2009

  • I am finally done my first semester!  I had my medical exams on Friday and Saturday and I kicked the shit out of both of them.  I got 86 on my written exam on the Friday and 86 on the practical exam on Saturday.  That practical exam was pretty tough.  Quite a few people failed.  You walk into a room and have to do a medical scenario that the instructors cooked up.  My final average in that class was a 91.  I really didn’t care about having a high average, I just wanted to pass.  Now I can look forward to relaxing for a couple of weeks before my 2nd semester starts.
  • A friend has been having some bad luck when it comes to vehicles.  First her minivan was stolen from out front of her building.  As a replacement, my mom gave up her old Neon for my friend to use.  We just transferred the ownership and 3 days later it broke down in the middle of the road!  So, she spent yesterday afternoon backing up traffic in Toronto.  I let her use my Jeep while we get that Neon repaired.  With her luck I can pretty much expect that it too will get stolen or fall apart or something!  I am sure some day she will be able to smile at all this misfortune.
  • Something my friend told me about today was a new fine that is being enforced in Switzerland.  It appears that many people who hike the Swiss Alps enjoy doing so in the buck.  Yup…naked hiking!  I guess this is such a huge problem that they actually needed to create a specific law and fine for this.  Get caught running up the mountains in your birthday suit and you should be prepared to fork out $176.  There goes my vacation plans..
  • I always try to bring you something fun with every post.  Here it is.  Why don’t I see things like this at my school?
