Transferable Skills

I survived my firms. I thought I never would.

Returning back to lectures for a few weeks of reprive. I'm enjoying this hiatus. We just had a lecture on essay writing, which culminated in the lecturer doing an outline for an essay of any topic of his audience's choice.

If thought bubbles could be visible... The lecture theatre would have been filled with the likes of "It's payback time. Here's what you get from dragging us out of bed so early for such a waffly lecture".

A resonant voice shot up from the audience
"Discuss the importance of wearing clean underwear on your first date"

So much from expecting something scientific from medical students. Or should I add, tired medical students. At least we could get some daytime entertainment.

He then proceed on a stepwise, detailed dissection and meticulous definition of the terms in the title. For example, the various degrees of clean [hmm...] underwear; the context of the person you are going on a first date with; and most importantly, whether your date would actually get to see the underwear at all.

Talk about living biology.

And I am still not confident of writing scientific essays. Now we know why.
