empty inside...

i feel i'm devoid of anything intelligent to say recently. i'm not as passionate about issues anymore. i just feel blah. whatever happens happens. maybe it's because i'm starting to realize that blogs are probably not the best method for expressing my personal rants and frustrations.

this winter seems to have lasted particularly long this year. although it has been a fairly mild winter (except for the past few days...), i feel that i'm more than ready for summer to roll around. i'm unbelievably excited about being the high ropes instructor at easter seals camp this summer. it's been a solid 5 years since i was at camp. i keep telling myself my two first summers there were life changing, i hope i didn't hype up camp too much the past 5 years to myself. on top of that, the prospect of spending two weeks in italy and france pre-camp.... makes me feel as if this year of med school should finish faster.

honestly, i'm ready for clerkship. i mean, my knowledge base isn't ready for clerkship, but i'm ready to spend time in the hospitals learning from real patients. i'm done with sitting in class listening to profs. after 23 years of sitting in a classroom, i want to start learning in a way where i can really apply myself. all this stuff i know feels so superficial... because i'm not actually using it to anyone's benefit.

on that note, i should really start studying. as is always the case with uoft meds, there's always a test right around the corner. sigh.

my name roberto alomar and i play for the toronto blue yays...

i'm excited. how can you not be? i mean, we overpaid for a closer. we picked up a very good (and slightly gimpy) starting pitcher. we traded for a mediocre first basemen and a bonifide all star third basemen. and now, we have an all defensive catcher who has won a championship.

is it ideal? probably not. but it's enough to make me look twice when baseball season rolls around this year. i mean, the jays were a good team last year minus the best pitcher in baseball for most of the season. and now we've added 5 impact players + we get doc back. that's a big deal.

winterlicious...

there aren't too many things better than dinner for 4 at a nice restaurant.

bymark has taken over the spot for favorite winterlicious venue. north 44 was excellent, but i give bymark the edge. i really like the decor in both those restaurants. and the food was..... so good. mmm.... braised short rib stuffed ravioli.

this tuesday morning off thing is definately a good thing.
