Confidence inspiring?

BBC News - Doctors 'should not wear denim'
I think it's mostly females that dress less formally, but that's just from the students; most of the doctors are fairly formally dressed.

Fair Trade Café

Oxfam plans Fair Trade Cafés
The only thing is that Dundee will never have one. We don't even have one pleasant coffee shop.

The end is nigh here

Exams over for another year (me hopes).
Seemed to go ok, but only the results will tell. Not entirely wanting to do resits.
Anyway out for Ewan's birthday tonight, then home tomorrow.
May sleep now.

Capgras' syndrome

AKA: The illusion of doubles.
The delusional belief that a person (or persons) close to the schizophrenic patient has been substituted for by one or more impostors.

3 down...2+1+3=6 to go.

Hurrah.
Exams looming but it is still just an unconscious pre-occupation rather than a ever-present fear. Hopefully I'm learning some stuff with the work I'm doing, but you can never be sure. Ophthalmology was actually quite interesting.

Internet Radio

Hosting for Shoutcast streaming. Looks quite fun. I don't think there'd be anyone to listen to my radio station if I had one. Also not sure about the legalities of it. Not too expensive for a poor quality stream.

But perhaps you have more friends with broadband access!
