The calm before the storm

As I'm typing this, I'm listening to Track 11, "Boku wa Kuma" (I'm a bear) on Utada Hikaru's latest album, Heart Station, which I picked up at softmap in Akihabara. It's a pretty relaxing song, which I guess just sets up the perfect mood to relax before the hell of clerkship begins. Tomorrow is officially my last day of summer vacation, yet I have to spend it going to Bambang to look for white scrubs. Damn man, what a waste of a perfectly good morning. Come Wednesday, I'll be starting my rotation in the Pedia OPD, 7:00 a.m. 'til THURSDAY 12 noon. Jesus Christ, I'll probably be zombified due to the lack of sleep. Why the hell do Philippine Medical Schools insist on overworking their students? In the U.S., I hear that doing that kind of stuff is pretty much illegal. Well, it just goes to show that we really do live in a 3rd world country.
