Divide 120 by 12. What do you get? 10. That’s 10, T-E-N days to you! 120 days is all I’ve got left ’till I have to be ready for the medical board exams. And I have a total of 12 subjects to study. So which means that if I start today, I will have a total of just 10 days to review each subject (I might need that Blue Cross Blue Shield NC health plan after all).

Yikes! I am sooo short on time! Whatever happened to the nine months I had to review for the boards??? I still cannot believe four months have passed and I only have four left. Talk about time flying with mercury’s sandals. God, I hope I will be ready on time. A lot is riding on my passing the boards. I have to pass.

I think I know how this kid feels

I. just. have. to.

Why oh, why is it that when I sing in the shower, I feel like I’ve gotten all the notes right- my voice filled with raw emotion and power that rivals David Cook’s (complete with an audience waving led flashlights). But every time I start singing along with the radio in my room, it seems like I suddenly lost my star potential and all I can manage is a blurt out random stucco’s of notes that seem more like poetry reading than singing.

The same thing happens whenever I try to sing during video-ke night with friends (one of the reasons why I insist on having at least two bottles of liquid courage before grabbing the microphone).

So I did a quick research to find out why the shower seems so deceptive. Turns out, according to this article, the shower acts as a sort-of low tech sound mixer improving my voice’s quality, reverberations and bass.

I betcha David Cook started out like this too.

And what’s more, it turns out that all those recording artists that you hear on the radio? They’ve all used high-tech sound mixers to improve their voice quality! So that’s why they sound so good! This means just one thing- I shouldn’t give up on my dreams of being the next David Cook just yet!  :D

I was in the faculty workroom a couple of months back,catching up on some reading when I was startled by a scampering and a scurrying around my feet amidst the school furniture. Looking down I saw two white lab mice sniffing around the floor.

Knowing that Biology students used white mice for various experiments, I wondered whether some escaped then bred with other ‘local’ mice. I initially thought that these were the ‘wild’ white rats. Then my fellow English teacher (FYI, I’m teaching English to help support my medical board exam reviews. Effectively busting the myth about all doctors being rich!), Sir Joy, came in with an exasperated look on his face.

Turns out, some students gave him five white mice to keep as pets. He placed them in a can under his desk. When he returned, only one remained- all escaped. So that explains it! They really were escaped lab mice! After learning about this, most of the other teachers in the faculty workroom (around 7 in all) volunteered to get Sir Joy’s mice back.

It turned out to be an amusing evening as 7 teachers scrambled around under chairs and tables all trying to chase down the escapees. In the end, we were able to catch just two out of the four escapees.

What happened to the other two? Well, let’s just say that every now and then, I find gray mice with white splashes on them.

Happy together

So there I was, settling in for a movie all snuggled up under my sheets and outdoor chair cushions. However, before I double-clicked on that VLC icon, I decided to go check on my Facebook account.And this is what I find from our friend Dee:
