[looking up]

well.. things are finally beginning to look up! it's still a mad rush trying to keep pace with what's going on in lectures & dissections while still trying to maintain street cred (sigh!) without compromising on what i feel comfortable with.

but hey, things are looking up.. CORRECTLY identified the median nerve (it's kinda soft and squidgy for a nerve) in the carpal tunnel - which everybody else thought was the radial artery (apparently more soft and squidgy, but the point is that it's somewhere ELSE altogether) - and which they mistook for the tendon of palmaris longus (which i correctly identified as well). small victory, yes, but at least my intuition is still working correctly.

had a great time at sat's Stanton Warriors gig at the Junction (past the railway station, so that's really far.. but not as far as when I have to get to Homerton College for kendo trg, that's the venue they've booked for the past week + ) and i must say i have NEVER felt more at home in the UK. (some decent music for a change!) .. there's really not much point in going out a few times a week if the music's all generic and crap, but then that's just me.

lots of other assorted incidents as well that i don't have the time to get into here, though i'm STILL owed my chequebook and bank statement from HSBC. 3 weeks and counting, whee.

if i was to actually sit down and think hard about what's been happening, the victories have been really small compared to the setbacks - but for some strange reason i'm just not sad. i'm positively buoyant and i have no idea why.. hope this lasts!

oh, and because the title was "quote me on this..."
