stuff

it seems like everybody (or the vast majority) who is taking boards is sooooo stressed out...it just seems silly to me. Granted, I have to admit I was less then cool about the part 1 and part 2, but you just gotta take it in stride. I am more annoyed at having to drive to seneca falls then anything else. Too bad they dont have boards online..you just do it in your pjs at home and then submit. Of course, people would look up answers that way, but then maybe they could just make them harder and allow people to use resources available to them..kind of like real life...go figure. anyways, the air is thick with angst, except its not 'cuz nobody showed up in clinic today. While everybody else spent the evening studying and not really learning anything I was performing a fantastic culinary experiment..I randomly came across a recipe for these portuguese meringue cookies..I ended up making them (they didn't turn out, for a myriad of reasons, we still at them but they were a little crumbly..) anyways I had egg yolks leftover, so I decided to use what kevin had at his place...lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks...lemon curd! Anyways that came out okay, a little too lemony, but still good. Anyways this morning he made french toast, but since he wanted to use the remaining eggs for french toast, soaked the bread in lemon curd..it was interesting to say the least. They would have been good wiht some sort of sweet cream to cut the intense lemon flavor. We ate them, anyways. It is fun to experiment with recipes, even if you have no idea what you are doing. Some of the best dishes came about that way, I think. Anyways I think I'm gonna start studying a bit, right now I'm just looking to pin down modalities, I'll look through ortho exams too (cuz thats what I heard is gonna be the main part of the exam...we'll see how that works out for me..)
