  1. My medical school gives us free highlighters, but otherwise, this describes me too well.

    Thanks for this. :)

  2. Yeah, my roommate and I bought the extra humungous highlighter pack at Costco.

  3. Somehow our class came upon a set of pens in which the other end was a highlighter. This guy in my class was going on for like 10 minutes about how much he loved that pen, so I gave him mine (I wasn't that into highlighters). That was probably the happiest I'd seen anyone all year.

  4. Everything other than the last panel happened to me.

  5. Haha! True.

    Though you feel guilty about not studying every minute of your life, you still want to slip out and do mundane stuff. Every other boring activity seems so interesting all of a sudden.

  6. Karyorrhexis!! I had completely forgotten about that. I think I was too busy putting in cannulas or something.
    I do have 2 sets of 12 multicoloured pens. Why two? A friend of mine passed her ophtho exams and handed them on to me.

    Verification word: output. Haha.

  7. This is just.. so true. All of this is true. I read this right after I wrote about my fancy new highlighters and people's guilt about not studying.

    (... ipsilateral!)

  8. I ditched the highlighter after the first week since I was highlighting everything.

  10. This is only how future surgeons spend the first week of medical school. Be like the future ER docs and spend the first week drunk. I'm just sayin'...

  11. I bought 3 packages of highlighters BEFORE school even started. Does that still count?

    (I definitely got the eye strain thing, but hopefully did not smell, and actually did learn a fair bit of clinically useful physiology stuff).

  12. I looooove your blog. I posted this cartoon in a blog post of mine, but I did also post a link to your blog. I do hope you don't mind. You can take a look and if you do mind I will remove it.
    Thanks for a great blog!
