300 has unrivalled cinematography and pure testosterone fuelled action. I saw it after a long day of placement and revision tutorials but I enjoyed it. The acting was of a high standard with a realistic ending which avoided the usual Hollywood let down.

No Longer Jobless
Today was poignant due to the release of the FY1 jobs . I still remember my first day of medical school when I knew no one. I quickly made friends two of which I consider my brothers. Several years later and two months from MBBS finals I have a job with a rotation in a specialty which interests me. Results day will honour all the obstacles we have overcome and hopefully bring tears of happiness from yours truly.

PS 3
I apologise to the staff in Dixons on Oxford Street. The scruffy person drooling outside the window and stroking the PS3 display was myself. After many delays Sony are trying to bring sexy back with the Play station 3. Full low down.

Hello Again
I apologise for my mini exodus. The MMC protest march saw a good turn out with over 10,000 protesters. I saw a few doctors I recognised and many consultants turned up to show support for the junior doctors. I have never seen such solidarity amongst the medical profession. Some have asked why I went. Apathy regarding a system that leaves 8, 000 doctors jobless is unjustifiable. This is not about senior house officers (SHO)s but about the bureaucracy of the NHS and politics which may leave many future medical trainees in a dire situation. If we do not voice our objections and strive for change who will?
See Channel 4's TV coverage and read Patricia Hewitt's response. There will be a review but the government has refused to scrap the system. The brick wall is frustrating but I would march all over gain.
Channel Five are doing well with the new legal series Shark and House series 3 starts tonight.
Music I am enjoying at the moment:
Joe- If I was Your Man
Kanye West- Throw Some D's freestyle
Pretty Ricky- On Da Hotline Remix
N Dubz- Feva Las Vegas
Timbo- Give It Me
Tamia- Between Friends
Musiq Soulchild- Buddy
Tiffany Affair- Over It
Tevin Campbell- Can We Talk for all the old school people.

Who Am I?
I passed 1st year so I am uber cool and my behind is super glued to the library seats. I will make noise and disturb others who want to work seriously while brandishing my course guide as a badge of honour. Who am I? Someone in 2nd year.
When I was younger I did not have attitude or give lip. I had so much respect for the years above because they were more experienced and knowledgable than myself. I am shocked anyone other than desperate finalyears is in the library at the weekends. The younger students are more competitive and keen than we ever were. This is good because they may make better doctors. Hoewever feedback from some of 2nd and 3rd years I know reveals some people are work-obsessed and have no extracurricular activities. I fear burn out could be on the horizon for a few.
Why are the National Gallery charging £12 for the Renoir exhibition? It is ludicrous that Ernst & Young is sponsoring them and yet they still have exorbitant fees. I love the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery (NPG)hence my disappointment. Nothing like putting off tourists and locals. The most NPG charge is £6 or £8 for special exhibitions.
I am enjoying my little moments of freedom because I know in 5 months I won't have much free time. Wandering Trafalgar's square on a saturday, spotting new restaurants on the high street and catching up with friends. Two birthday things this weekend and I will keep you posted.
Check out the new Timbo, Nelly and Justin video causing a raucus with Scott Storch.

Blazing Trailer
Latest London listings this weekend.
Japanese food again (I am convinced I have Asian ancestors) at Mika near Portobello. Nice food and it was our waitress's first day. She asked us the same thing a few times and spilt the drinks all over the table and my jacket. Even with ice cubes on the plate, I wasn't mad as she was sweet. Afterwards we went for drinks at Trailer Happiness. As you know I love the locals- you are all SO cool. The beer left a lot to be desired and I didn't fancy one of their gimmicky flaming bowl of cocktails . Overall a fun night.
Next- Shoreditch or Islington?
