And just like that he finishes his first week of medical school (well really only 3 days). I have Histology, Anatomy and Public health for 4 months which comprised the first term. Tests every 3 weeks and a cumulative final at the end of each term. My classmates all seem nice, my class is ridiculously small only 15 of us because of the economic situation in the world. Speaking of which how about a little rant: [ Fuck you banks and investment firms, what good are bean pushers if they are not willing to push beans, I am pretty sure that a med school student is a good investment and will eventually be able to pay their loan back. I have my views, however uneducated (read: Indoctrinated) on this world and how capital works. Like how about inflation...I am sorry economists but fuck you I am pretty sure it is all a figment of our imagination...ahh but what an imagination. I also do not buy that market forces are the only controling hand that guides prices (can you say oligopoly, can you say collusion, can you say secret meetings and secret cabals....can you say pricks). I am sure I will rant later on this blog soooo] rant done. So yes my class is small because of economic forces. So far class worries me, it seems to be going to slowly, and not in depth enough, but that I am sure is just because it is the first week. OH HOW ABOUT THIS JUNK, mandatory attendance…are you joking me. Am I in High School? Honestly I am attending a Caribbean medical school, I am pretty sure I found out about the value of attending or not attending class when I so severly wrecked my chances at a Canadian medical school in undergrad. I prefer to think of that experience as learning to smash my reality tunnel with idiocy. Honestly I do not think that most people understand the value of idiocy, the best lessons and probably the most fun (also the least fun obviously) I have had was obtained from being a complete and utter fuck up (I think I shall have to write a blog entry about the value of idiocy). Show me a man who has never made a mistake, and I will show you someone who has never achieved much (Mark Twain?). He also said I try not to let my schooling interfere with my education which I have lived by, again explaining why I am at a Caribbean medical school. Why oh why do people attempt to curmudgeon others into obedient success? I mean I guess that is a dumb question, but once you have screwed up severly and see things from the outside it looks pretty silly, though resonable….paradox…yup.
Another entry down (it does not feel like a very good one but I am Postin anyways…try and stop me)

And, Yes if any economists or econ 101 students read this I understand that inflation is “to much money chasing to few goods” and all I have to say to that is bullshit.
I am pretty sure that a med school student is a good investment and will eventually be able to pay their loan back.
I hope so. I currently wake up at night in full blown panic thinking about my loans.
