• 4/1/2002 - Happy April Fool's Day - I know many of us saw the unpleasantness that was the M1 Newsletter and I know that much has been said about the M1's this year, but I'm sure this isn't a reflection of the whole class and I'm even more sure that for the perpetrators of this "prank", the last laugh will certainly be on them.  Scared yet?
   
• 3/27/2002 - Besides reporting on the madness that was the Neuroscience final, I thought I'd re-post that link I sent out earlier this week about a test that tries to get a feel for who you are, what kinds of things you want in a medical career, and tries to suggest specialties that would be a good fit.  Enjoy.

• 2/24/2002 - "O Canada, we stand on guard for thee..." - How sweet it is... 50 years to the day since Canada last won Olympic gold in men's hockey, a team of NHL stars who got off to a rocky start managed to thoroughly trounce the U.S. team to the tune of 5-2 today for the gold.  Sure, Lemieux missed an open netter, and sure, The Great One's tirade against the American media earlier that week made me grimace, but thanks to whatever is in the Canadian air that produces great hockey players and also to the loonie buried beneath center ice, Canada can finally reclaim ownership of its true cultural export, not counting Celine Dion, Alanis Morissette, Molson, Labatt, and Terence and Philip.  To make the point even more clear, the Canadian women edged out the U.S. women earlier this week 3-2 for the gold.  There might not be much in this world that is genuinely Canadian, but dammit, at least give us our hockey :)  - If you haven't figured it out by now, I am a Canuck...

• 10/19/2001 - Can it be?  The drop/bonus gods have listened to our pleas for once and yes, an EXTRA drop/bonus was issued for our Heme/Onc exam.  The question was definitely questionable, and props go out to those brave, persistent souls who fought for justice (you know who you are).  Seeing that the mode on the exam was 93.X% before the drop/bonus, a lot of people will be studying a bit easier this weekend.  Just a friendly reminder to QUERY, QUERY, QUERY.  OK... so people actually read what I write here and in the interest of not coming off as a being mean-spirited, please remember to query nicely :)
