Dissecting the human head!
Except right now, our's looks like Nearly-Headless Nick from Harry Potter with the face bisected in half. So cool!

Top medical student pick up lines
Some funny pick up lines that a classmate found. Warning, some are pretty bad...
My sudden protracted cardiac arrhythmia makes me think I'm falling for you.
(Hold out a stethoscope) Why don’t you listen to your heart and go out with me?
My adductor isn't the only thing that's longus.
I wish I was your coronary artery, so that I could be wrapped around your heart.
Trust me, this is how they did Mammograms back in the old days.
Is your name Flecainide? Because I think you just made my heart skip a beat.
(Look for any small skin imperfection) Has anyone ever looked at that? Why don’t we go back to my place so I can give you a full exam?
When you walked in the door your beauty hit me so hard that I have a priapism from all the trauma.
How about we ditch this joint and go study some anatomy?
Baby, you make me vasodilate!
No that's not an epi-pen in my pants, I'm just happy to see you.
Hey baby, wanna play with my corpus cavernosum?
That pulsation in my femoral sheath isn't coming from an artery.
I am an organ donor, need anything?
Come into my office and take off your pants.

1st B-Ball Game
Oh boy. For some unknown reason, I decided to join the IM co-ed b-ball team. It was pretty amusing. I need to learn how to dribble. And shoot. And pivot. And contact other people. Oh boy. Tennis is very different. You're not even ALLOWED to cross to the other side of the net, much less stick your butt into somebody's stomach (boxing someone out?). haha. I've learned to be more ferocious. But then that resulted in this 6 inch long, half inch thick bloody mark on a teammate - inflicted by my razor sharp nails during practice. Oops! I apologized profusely, but I still felt horrible. :(
So last Wed. was my first bball game ever!!! Sadly, we lost by 2 points (21 to 23). :'( I got to play in two quarters, which kinda made me feel bad, because the only contribution I was making was pretty much running around and making the other team- and my team - confused. I guess it wasn't soooo terrible. I did manage to defend a decent amount. I didn't even know how to signal that I wanted a sub, so I had to stay in for all of 1st quarter even though I managed to lose the ball to the other team while I was just holding it. ah..need to be more aggressive. Well, I guess first things first...learn to dribble, shoot, and pivot. The really sad thing was that we were playing against first year MBA students and we lost. ah......

Exploring Bhangra and Bollywood and Short Hair
Diwali - never head of it till med school:
Apparently it's a really big thing at my current undergrad and med school. Bhangra was such a big deal at MIT, and they were AMAZING! So I checked it out today. It was so much fun! Although I'm pretty uncoordinated. Oh well, I got matched up with someone equally uncoordinated. Awesome. Haha...and then some people were from yesterday's Bollywood dancing team. And so I tried the dude's part. That was funny and involved a lot of hip/shoulder movement that I don't think I have the nerves/muscles for (although anatomy proves me wrong). It was hilarious!! Ahh!! I didn't sign up for it at first b/c I know I'm stretching myself too thin...but then a classmate asked me to sign up, and I have this terrible habit of not being able to say no. ah...i failed DARE.
Short Hair:
Ah!! Hair barely touches my shoulders! So short!! Man, the only haircutter person I knew of growing up was my mom, so this was probably my second time ever getting a haircut at a professional place. I think I made the lady very frustrated because I kept on being unhappy with the result and refused to use her hair products. Well, there's really no point for her to blow dry and put cream in my hair because I would never do that. She probably thought I was crazy. Oh well, I guess it didn't turn out as bad as I thought!
