Mini adults?

Today marked the beginning of my paediatrics rotation. Cue introductory talks whilst I was still half asleep, a nice rendez vous with most of my group and subway for lunch (meatball marinara is the only sandwich, come on). The waitress put olives in and I literally recoiled in horror. It was like watching a silent horror movie. Olives are just tasteless grapes. Anyway we practiced cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for children under 18 months. It was interesting and I am looking forward to paeds, apart from the exam at the end.

I spent the rest of the evening searching various branches of Zara for a black dress. In a moment of temporary insanity and an attempt to pretend I am a really cool medic, I agreed to attend the med school Christmas ball. I can hear the tuts of disapproval and I blame the festive spirit.





















Music I am loving at the moment:
  1. Mary J Blige Be without you. I eagerly await Mary's 7th LP The Breakthrough.
  2. Chris Brown Gimme That. Scott Storch has done it again.
  3. Boyz II Men feat. LL Cool J Hey Lover. I've gone a little old school.
  4. The Game The Documentary. East coast rapper + Dr.Dre = hot album.
  5. Damien Marley Welcome to Jamrock
  6. Keyshia Cole You've changed & Superstar
  7. Lyfe Jennings 268-192
  8. Leela James A Change is Gonna Come
  9. Toni Braxton Take this Ring. The sample and production is 'off the chain'.
  10. Don Omar Otra noche. I caught the reggaeton bug.
  11. Shakira Oral Fixation Volume 2
  12. Alicia Keys Alicia Keys Unplugged
  13. Lucie Silvas Breathe in
  14. Ray J One wish (Remix feat Jermaine Dupri and Bow Wow)

Jermaine Dupri is everywhere, maybe he felt Kanye eclipsed him. He is the new president of Virgin Records' urban division. I have to acknowledge he has produced great music including Kriss Kross, TLC's Crazysexycool, Mariah's Daydream, Da Brat, Usher, Xscape, Total and Aaliyah. If he's not on Bow wow or Mariah Carey's record, he's producing Jagged Edge, Donnell Jones et al. The term superproducer comes to mind.
