Josh. 20. Medical student.
Likes reading, nature, science, huskies, Australia, Rise Against, pop politics and pretty architecture. Terminally indecisive but ambitious. Favours giant blocks of text that no-one will ever read.
So today, after waking up early and going for a swim, I took the train out to Newstead with a couple of friends and spent the afternoon at Newstead Abbey, the ancestral home of Lord Byron. It’s pretty much a ruin now, but nonetheless it - and the surrounding gardens - are absolutely gorgeous. I felt a million times better for getting out of the city. Countryside will always feel like home.
I was completely enamoured with that peacock…
Just finished TFIOS. Good, but I couldn’t associate with the characters the same way I could in Looking For Alaska. Probably the whole Distinct Lack of Cancer thing.
Got assigned my dissertation project today; schizophrenic rats, just like I wanted. I’m psyched! Although a little worried that schizophrenic rats might not be quite as awesome as I’m hoping, given that the best thing about ‘normal’ rats is how friendly and sociable they are, which doesn’t exactly go with the territory in schizophrenia…
Either way, the study looks cool and the supervisor is a dude and overall it’s a pretty publishable research topic, so s’all good.
My grandad’s in hospital, after he woke up in the middle of the night with a completely incapacitating stomach pain. My nan freaked out that he had a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, because apparently Medical Student Syndrome extends to close family members. Turns out he’s just got appendicitis; he had emergency keyhole surgery this afternoon, and he’s fine. It’s the first time he’s ever been an in-patient, which is pretty good going seeing as he’s just shy of 80.
Other shit is also happening, but I’m tired of typing so instead I’m going to raid the freezer for my giant-ass tub of Haagen Dazs. Ohyeahh.

If you think you’re too good for the old MCR shit and crazy-ass concept albums about vampires then we cannot be friends.
"Meeting ‘the one’, moving to the suburbs,
Sending kids to bed early, ordering out for bad Chinese food,
And watching network television for the rest of my life,
Is one of the most appalling nightmares
I could possibly dream up for myself
Though I’ve done all of that
At one time or another."
But…I thought we both knew where we stood. =/ Who are you to come out with things like that and start changing things between us?!
