“If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?”

~ Scott Adams

wow. my brain really is on holiday.

i can’t think of a single thing to write. nor can i remember what i thought i wanted to write about. i think i said earlier that i wanted to write a few thoughts on how MED 3 went, but the semester already feels like a distant memory. my defense mechanisms are kicking in and colouring the past 4 months with rainbows and unicorns. i probably couldn’t complain about the micro powerpoint slides or the neuro block exam questions if i tried.

okay, i could. i just don’t want to yet.

so how about this… you ask, i write. forum is open. microphone has been handed over. pretty much anything is fair game.

and if no one asks anything, then i know all of your brains are enjoying summer holidays just as much as mine!

    :D
    Hell, even Toronto would do!

    I have lots of questions but I don’t want to be too nosey.

    Let’s see…uhh…gosh…why do you have to read this stuff Brandon? I can’t ask these things with you around.

    Let’s stick to school then..

    1. What happened with your neuro final? Was it the test material itself or the stress/fatigue etc of all that marathon studying?

    2. Could you explain the shelf exams again and how the scores are calculated?

    3. The Marriot looks FAB! I actually went to the website and checked the place out a bit further. Prices seem ‘reasonable’ (I use that term lightly). What is the crowd like there? It doesn’t seem like a typical party place…i guess because it’s not an all inclusive resort?

    4. Are you looking forward to med 4 or dreaming of more time off? After nearly 4 months off myself, i’m filled with excitement and dread

    5. When you are done these 5 semesters, residency is next, right? Is that still considered school? You don’t get paid for it do you? Any thoughts on where you want to go?

    6. Your sisters/moms dog was sick a while back but in those camping pictures she looks great! Is she all better now?

    7. What do you eat on a typical day? How come you seem to get skinnier with stress and i get fatter? huh?

    8. How’s the money situation going? Sometimes I want to punch you because you’re a poor student with a coach bag, mac, endless ipods, a whole house to yourself, a car, vacation weekends, etc. (I don’t really want to punch you, I just don’t understand how you do it)

    9. Have you used that vichy eye thing yet? Can I have your shoppers optimum points since you won’t really be using them anytime soon?

    10. Who is kev? Where is he from and how did you meet him? What does he do and how old is he? what is his social insurance number?

    11. Are you doing anything special for your birthday this year?

    12. You should talk more about the extra-curricular things you are involved in. Like big sisters and the students for change thing. So…talk.

    13. Are you aware that if you miss two canadian winters in a row, you lose your citizenship?

    14. Do you do stuff like get your hair cut, go to the doctor, etc on the island?

    It looks like my break is over now. Feel free to ignore this entire post :)

  3. robyn on August 21, 2008 10:39 am

    What is your favorite hair product? :)

  4. BCWB on August 21, 2008 11:25 am

    Sarah… You can feel free to write anything you want. She will answer you honestly when it comes to me and I don’t mind at all. I am a very open and honest person and I told Jen she can write anything she wants to write.

    I want to know what the favorite thing was at the Marriott?? : ) ; )

  5. BCWB on August 21, 2008 11:25 am

    Great picture babe!! : )

  6. sarah on August 21, 2008 12:08 pm

    yes..what WAS your favourite thing at the marriott? Inquiring minds want to know

  7. Pam on August 21, 2008 12:36 pm

    Do you take any kinds of visitors? Cause I just got engaged and need to go on an engagement trip… :) But is it expensive to get there? and is it expensive to be a tourist there?

  8. jammie dodger on August 21, 2008 12:37 pm

    What are your favourite biscuits? And do you ever dunk them in your tea?

  9. donna on August 21, 2008 12:51 pm

    where do babies come from? (have you done that chapter yet?) ;)

  10. sarah on August 21, 2008 1:03 pm

    15. Did you stock up on FHPs from back home? I had issues with that when i was overseas…

    (FHP = feminine hygeine products)

  11. sarah on August 21, 2008 1:04 pm

    16. What does Brandon look like naked?

  12. Darren James Harkness on August 21, 2008 3:18 pm

    You’re put on a tropical island, and…

    Wait, that’s probably an easy one.

  13. kev on August 21, 2008 4:13 pm

    I’d kind of like to know why sharpie ink erases pretty easily from skin, but not so easily from toenails. I really shouldn’t have drawn manga toe last week. it’s going to look fairly silly if/when I walk barefoot anywhere, and I’d kind of like to avoid the embarassment.

    also… is it beer time yet?

  14. darlene on August 21, 2008 5:13 pm

    sarah pretty much covers the questions .. except …

    why is your smile so darn cute and contagious? tee hee

    … glad you are enjoying your vacation! xo

  15. sarah on August 21, 2008 5:33 pm

    16. what is the meaning of life?

    17. Why can’t i stop eating chocolate?

  16. nonstop on August 21, 2008 9:47 pm

    it’s definitely beer time!

    Alright! Riders TD as I type this! Woot!

    (sorry about all the exclamation marks)
