Personnel Officer: How’s your driving record? Clean?
Travis Bickle: It’s clean, real clean. Like my conscience.

~ “Taxi Driver”

forget napping and hammocks and holidays. i have found my true calling. i’m going to drop out of med school and become a taxi van driver.

no time to write this morning. spending another three hours in the operating theatre then will be behind the wheel of a finicky left-hand shift MUA van for the rest of the day. yesterday i drove from 10am to 7pm and felt like i was channeling my dad’s big rig experience. tonight i predict i’ll fall in bed even more exhausted than last night. i just hope the van doesn’t break down again…

see you at the aiport!

    You look beautiful. Hope you are having a great day!! Don’t tell all the Med 1’s all the secrets to Med School. They need to figure out some things for themselves. LOL JK ; )

    Travis Bickle, one of my favourite De Niro characters. Love Scorsese’s stuff. “You talkin’to me?”
