Wow, only Truffles, cramberry and I could entertain ourselves so much with such everyday things. Some background knowledge is required in this situation. Our medical school is attached (literally, physically connected) to one of the citiy's main hospitals. Walking to school everyday, we take this route that takes us through the hospital to go to class because we are vampires, and hate the sunlight & also because we are lazy and don’t like stairs. Anyhow, next to said hospital is this river with a whole bunch of trees, and nature-stuff. It’s a strange dichotomy to see this beautiful, organic living scene next to the concrete jungle that is the hospital building and two, yes TWO car parks. So as we trek along to school, we always pass by this interesting little piece of nature.
Recently, we started noticing that there were these GINORMOUS fish swimming in this little river. I’d probably say they were 12 inches in length. HUGE! So we started looking at them as they tried to swim up the river, and I have no idea why, stay put once they get to the other side (these aren’t the smartest fish in the world, clearly). Now, this is something we (T, C and I) find inexplicably entertaining. Everyday we’ll stop by the bridge (with cars rushing past us no less) to look at the dim-witted fish floating around, and these extremely adorable Canadian Geese & goslings. Today, for example we spent half an hour looking at the fish trying to cross this pylon thing. We were very amused. Then after ethics class in the afternoon, Truffles and I spent another 30 minutes looking (and taking pictures) at the fish and ducks and its 12 DUCKLINGS! Incessant giggling over the cuteness ensued. Then we spotted a bunny. And took a pic of that. Clearly no one does procrastination better than these med students.
Countdown: 2 more weeks of class!
