A Chicken a Day

...keeps the med students' stomachs happy. So on Monday evening, after the Nephro exam, our honourary class president, Dr. Kidney, held a dinner for all 100+ of us. As you might have guessed from my oh-so-subtle title, it involved chicken. Roasted chicken to be exact. It was very nice and yummy and VERY thoughtful of Dr. Kidney to sponsor this for us. This leads me to conclude that : a) he is awesome b) he is generous c) he also must have a lot of "disposable" income. (Actually, he was also nice enough to pay for our course manuals and course notes for this block, which is way more thoughtful than expected since I probably spend like 5 hours a week just printing those stupid powerpoint slides... grrr...sorry I digress).



Anyways, yesterday was our annual gingerbread house contest. It's held to raise money for our various class charities. This year Truffles, cramberry, Doodles and I went with a pink and blue theme (okay fine so this isn't a real theme... we admit that we went to buy candy 30 minutes prior... and this is what came out).


In honour of our nephrology block (and maybe to sway Dr. Kidney's opinion, seeing as he is the judge), I also created our very own gingerbread nephrologist! With glasses, kidneys and bladder! Yay! Notice the anatomically correct bladder, with trigone included! (some people have mentioned that it looks like he has ambiguous genitalia ... I beg to difer.. they're kidneys, ureters and bladder! Bladder!!)

Fun times all around. Almost makes you forget that finals are in 2 weeks. Almost...

Countdown to X-mas Break: 2 weeks!
