School started last week. Second year doesn't seem so bad. We get Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons off until December. That means lots of TV watching and napping for me! Hurray!

On the first day, everyone gravitated to their usual seat even though we were in a different lecture hall. The attention deficit disorder boy sitting across the aisle from us couldn't sit still and looked around the room, trying to catch people's eye to make faces at them. My friend next to me fell asleep and woke up just in time to clap for our guest lecturer. Funny how things can fall back into place so quickly.

In our tutorial session, someone had trouble pronouncing a word.

"Vas-cu-lid-TIDES...Vas-cu-lid-dit-TIDES...Vas-cu-lid-TID-DEES..."

Snickers erupted around the table. Of course, the joker in the group had to pipe in, "Did he just say TITTIES?"

The maturity of med students just amazes me more and more.

I went to see "Elephant" this weekend at the Toronto film festival. It was okay, but I expected more from it. The bonus was that they had a question and answer period at the end, so the director Gus Van Sant was there with the teenage amateur actors from the movie. He wasn't pretentious at all and didn't make up fake symbolism or deeper meanings for the elements in his movie (but the festival organizer certainly tried to make up some English-class-like BS).

After the movie, I strolled down Bloor Street, hoping to run into some celebrities. I was quite jealous after Ingrid told me that she had seen Anthony Hopkins and Nicole Kidman last night at the gala opening for "The Human Stain". She had even spoken to Roger Ebert.

But I did not see anyone. Well, I saw the Designer Guys at Pottery Barn, but that doesn't really count since they're local. The weird thing was that Steven Sabados was carrying a Louis Vuitton bag. The straps were short -- definitely had to hold it with a hand rather than to drape it over a shoulder -- which means that it couldn't even be considered a man purse. No one can pull this look off in North America. Sorry Steven, but not even your good looks can carry that off.
