Life is a Battlefield

Today was a mixture of shit and not-so-shit.

Something about me: my face goes red a lot. Sometimes it's from blushing (ie: embarrassment) but most of the time, it's because the room is stuffy or I'm overheated or I'm just red. Today, in our FCP tute, I knew I was red. My face felt like it was on fire. We were also examining/palpating half-naked boys in the tute. Thankfully, Big Michelle pointed out how red I was (with a giggle) so I could spend the rest of the day feeling embarrassed over the fact everyone probably thought I was reacting to the amount of nipple I was witnessing.

As for the good... Tareq was the sixth year demonstrator in our tute and whipped off his shirt (unfortunately leaving a black wife beater on... but still, I love a good wife beater) so the other sixth year could demonstrate a shoulder examination. Guys, he has great definition. He is slender but toned; the perfect combination. Those arms (those deltoids! Those biceps brachii!) and the slight hint of pectoralis major underneath that black wife beater... Yeah, so maybe I DID go red from the sight of that male specimen. We'll never know.

As for Friendquest 2012, there were ~three conquests today:

1. Grant, the friend Laura brought to lunch today. He was nice. I tried to talk to him a bit. Seems like a nice guy and friendly and open.

2. Bee, the "loner" I targeted a while ago. She is honestly so nice and refreshing. I should have walked to the bus with her after we finished anatomy lab but I wanted to piss and eat all my almonds myself. Micturition and greed win again. Next time, guys.

3. Rebekah, Big Michelle's friend. I don't know if this counts. We've never been formally introduced but we've exchanged a few (as in... three or four) words before. It's always awkward when you sort of "slide" into friendly acquaintancehood. I think next time, I'll just throw out a, "So, you're Rebekah, right?" That's casual enough, right?

That's it for now. I'm going to write up some lecture notes, eat dinner then sleep in until 7.30am tomorrow (FCP lecture cancelled, whoop whoop). See you all on the other side.
