Interview Prep

My former co-workers sent me a get-well card.  That was nice of them.

I've been reviewing medical Cantonese in preparation for tomorrow's job interview.  I don't know how thoroughly I'll be quizzed on speaking.  I was careful to leave out any detail on my fluency level (moderate), but I doubt it will be as difficult as the practical exam I had to retake twice for my interpreter internship in college.  I can ask basic questions like "Are you married or insured?" and "who is your emergency contact?" easily, but I have to make sure that what I say isn't considered crude.

Besides, the real challenge will be putting a dress shirt on tomorrow without hurting myself =/

Semi-Productive

Instead of studying I ended up watching Thor and playing around on my Wacom Bamboo drawing tablet.  I finally figured out how to make the lines cleaner...which is just to use separate layers in Adobe Photoshop for the outline and for colors.  The result of that was an improvement from previous doodles.

Productive

I finally forced myself to study for the MCATs.  I have classes in October, so right now I am reviewing my Examkrackers books.  I really like this book.  It has good (colored!!) illustrations and me what concepts I should understand and what is not quite important enough to memorize.

I also have Audio Osmosis, which accompanies each book chapter.  I've heard the guys that voice the lecture are funny in a nerdy way.



My shoulder has been feeling less stiff and sore today...which is partly the reason why I made myself study.  The only exception is on occasion, I will move or turn and the motion will pull on something in my shoulder, which makes me twitch.  It doesn't really hurt, but it isn't pleasant either.
