I love that, apart from the fact that my planning for the next two years became incredibly more complicated today, one of the programs I'm interested in for my clerkship has, literally, no information online. Googling "integrated clinical clerkship" alberta turns up exactly one result; the minutes from the meeting of the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass Council when the U of A approached them to participate in the program.

Between that and the revelation of all the absurd little rules that specialty programs have for med students applying for residency (regarding choices of electives, etc.) and the gamesmanship of the whole process (e.g. if they tell you you're in their "top four" or any other statements about your standing in the process during the interview, it's a blatant lie, and, supposedly, everyone knows it), I'm more than a little tempted to just wash my hands of the whole process and blissfully stroll my way to a Family Med residency.

Did I mention that I have to submit my clinical clerkship rotation (ie. 3rd year med) choices by next Monday? (Although, before anyone gets too concerned, this choice is only about when I do which rotation and has no bearing (one assumes) on my residency applications. Still, suddenly it feels like all my decisions carry a weight disproportionate to the preparation I have made for them.)

Yeah happy B'day Clark.

Happy Birthday, Clarky! Keep on... uh... "friggin"?

it's the bloody 9th today??

Oh shit! Sorry for answering back so late.

Happy Birthday Clark!

I had to sell 3 hatchlings to get my last B-grade! I think if you sell Kita, Kojack and Pete, you could get that black and decker. (Man so nerdy!)

Well it appears I've missed out on many years of bachelor food-dom with this grilled cheese sandwich thing. The only act of recourse is to improve upon it. Right now my current setup renders a reasonable facsimile of a grilled cheese sandwich. My one complaint is that my toaster toasts both sides of the bread making the inside a bit crunchy. The inside should be soft.

Has anyone tried using a toaster with a bagel setting and using the untoasted side as the center? I think that's the answer.
Unfortunately I only have a D-grade toaster of Sunbeam with little functionality other than traditional toasting. I need an enhanced B-grade toaster of Black and Decker or equivalent to see for sure.

Wha? I leave for several hours and you people are talking about easy grilled cheese sandwiches?

Yeah Cal did make the first easy grilled cheese sandwich I ever saw. This was way back in grade seven so it has been a while.

Probally when a guy to move into his apartment (I think only a guy could of invented this marvellous sandwich, because only guys are lazy enough to not want to cook.) and the only thing he had was a toaster and a microwave this sandwich was born. Probally been done long before even Cal made it. Well welcome to enlightment Beck, enjoy those easy to make grilled cheese sandwiches!

I have only just discovered the panless, butterless grilled cheese sandwich... why did noone tell me about this sooner?

Grilled cheese sandwich? What?
