<24hr until 3rd year is done!! And what a smashing end, with trauma exam q's like "A 14yo boy slides down a banister, not realizing there's a big knob at the end of it. He smashes the scrotum... scrotal hematoma the size of a grapefruit." (answer: u/s) And "A 41yo man reports that he 'slipped' in the shower and injured his manhood. Large penile shaft hematoma w\ normal-appearing glans." The answer: "woman on top."

study party at Peet's Coffee at UC Irvine University Center (Bridge/Campus) tomorrow 1pm-ish. Wheee.

Coffee drinks + a seat along Metro Rail + Downtown L.A. + the soundtrack to Final Fantasy Tactics A2 = the perfect study combination.

will start attending E3, Comic-con, and Lakers games, watch Babylon 5 and Stargate SG-2, and start playing all the past decades' Zelda games on the Nintendo 3DS 2, Wii 2, and Xbox 720 in 2016. Damn you, family medicine exam and surgery exams.

2 more weeks and 3 final exams... then... neuro in New York City!! WOOOHOO!!!

Zoning out today post-call! 1 woman hit the curb 35mph on her motorcycle and fractured her arms. 1 man with 2 DUIs in the past week crashed 50mph and totaled another parked car, +EtOH, and I Foley'd him for not cooperating, to his great displeasure. Studying yet again for surgery Saturday, Borders (The City Dr S/City Blvd W).

Need advice: How can I make the most out of trauma call tomorrow night? And what helps you stay awake for 30 hours straight?

started hepatobiliary-oncology-transplant service today. Very, very crazy. Plus, talk about personal... I had a 60yo female s/p radical mastectomy tell me I'm cute, and the family of a 70yo female s/p Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy or whatever ask me if I had a girlfriend. Uhhhh... :-\.

STUDY PAR-TAY! Off to study with mixed iced coffee beverages at hand. Borders at The Block At Orange today and tomorrow. Join in on the fun!

Doctors are yelling at and ripping into each other in surgery morbidity/mortality conference again. Plan: (1) Survive 3.5 more weeks. (2) 100mg caffeine qdaily. (3) Dispo: d/c to New York.

off to cram for exams again at Borders (City Blvd W/The City Dr S, Orange). Join me Friday too.
