Is this a sign of things ahead?

I know it's been forever, but even though you would think I would have something interesting to talk about, I don't really. I just have a quick story to relate about my medical training. My whole life involves being stuck in class nowadays, so unfortunately, you'll just have to bear with these stories until I get a real life.

I signed up for a clinical skills session today taught by family physicians. The sign-up process for this session was a little weird; because of limited space, it was based on a first-come, first-serve process. Which is actually quite a dumb way to do this, because it is much fairer to do something like this via random draw. Anyways, because I know how the email system works, I managed to submit a request at 12:30:00 (submissions were for 12:30) and secure a spot for the session.

So what's the big deal about this session, you may ask? Nothing really. In fact, if you know your clinical skills, this type of session would be quite a waste of time. But I have to admit that my skills are a little lacking, so I decided to attend to hone them a little. And because I did, I now know what I'm doing when I look into someone's ear or eye. Two skills down pat, only a couple of thousand left to master!
