Why do We Do it?

This is a question I get asked quite often. Sitting in the library revising for my 5th year final exams with the sun blazing outside. I am asking myself the same question. Why do we spend years taking endless exams and learning the skills? What is it all for? The old cliche of healing people and making them better is wearing a bit thin.

I am in the process of organising the return leg of my elective with a mini tour of Asia. Exams finish soon and I'm moving ouf of the flat. The academic year draws to a close and I am moving on to the final phase of my training. I look back to the earlier years and can comfort myself in the fact that I did have fun at medical school. Enough sad talk.

I want to see United 93 not least because Andrew Marr recommended it (political pundit for BBC). New music- Ne-Yo In My Own Words, Christina Milian So Amazin', Rihanna A Girl Like Me. Rihanna has matured on her latest effort and shows more musical diversity. Christian Milian seems to thinks good album involves recruiting Cool and Dre and making no effort lyrically. The new signing to Bad Boy Records, Nelson has a good voice. The hype is all about Nelly Furtado. There's a story that the tracks were so hot, the studio speakers caught on fire with Timbo. promiscuous girl will grow on me.
