On Dating a Med Student

Haha, this article about what it's like to date a med student is pretty funny, and true in many ways: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,452186,00.html.  Highlights would include: 3. Learn to hide your “ew, gross” reactions when they tell you all the stuff you never wanted to know about your bodily functions. 


5. Each week they will have a new illness. Some will be extremely rare, others will be more mundane. Doesn’t matter. They will be certain they have it (no second opinions necessary.) Med school can, and will, turn even the sanest into a hypochondriac. Date them for long enough, and you’ll become one too.  


11. They're expected to know everything. Everything! The name of the 8 billion-lettered, German sounding cell that lives in the depths of your inner ear, the technical term for the “no one's ever heard of this disease” disease that exists only on one foot of the Southern tip of the African continent. But ask them if your knee is swollen, or what you should do to tame your mucous-filled cough, or why the heck your head feels like someone's been drilling through it for oil for two weeks straight, and they won't have a clue.

China's Pride and My Doppelganger

I finally found my Doppelganger - Li Na, the top Chinese women's tennis player!  Although she didn't win the Australian Open, she fought off 4-5 match point against the number one ranked tennis player in the world to be the first Chinese player EVER to reach the finals of a Grand Slam.  She made history!  Ah...it's such a shame she didn't win.  So sad!  She even got a set off Clijsters - but Clijsters just played too well. I think what I like most about her is her spirit and attitude: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPqZj1zz3as
