clothes and dressing up...

hi guys. what's going on?
Well, the programme is later, and i plan to read a bit more physiology before I leave, but first I thought I should just tie up a few loose ends.
I was informed that the students who are putting together the play for the Divali Program need more male characters, so I think I will go around this week and see what I can do to help. Hopefully, I can get a nice small no-lines extras part. As a Hindu and well as part time member of M.E.D.S. I want the program to be jhakkas because it reflects on the whole Hindu population, and last year the guys who put it on really went above and beyond, so..I will do my part! (btw, i got the word jhakkas off of Geetali's blog, so thank you. A new Hindi word! :-D )
This morning I went to the tailor to try on my new pants. It looked really good, but it had to be altered a bit around the seat so I will have to pass back for it tomorrow. I didn't want the pants to be too loose so it would be more classy looking - I don't like big big pants. I don't like how they look, they add weight to a person. I want my pants to narrow and taper because then it gives the person a bit more shape and they look better. So, this pants although a bit loose does kind of narrow down so it looks nice. The grey material turned out really boss so I can use it when i go to the health centre for comm health outreach in November.
Basically, in the outreach program we will be going and interviewing expecting mothers and writing up a report on them. We also have to follow up on them. I think the intention is to give us some actual person-to-person contact with the public and the kind of people we will meet when we graduate. They put us in groups of four, and they just went down the name list alphabetically so my group is me, Krishanta, Nalini and Shivanne.And of course we have to dress up to appear professional - white/cream top and dark pants. They wanted black/navy blue but i will wear grey. I doubt they will care.
Speaking of dressing up, they want to introduce a dress code for pre-clinical medical students! That sucks! I like jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. It is a good thing I didn't buy a lot of clothes before school started cause I will have to go buy new clothes anyway when they implement the new dress code. I think the biggest change is no t-shirts. They will let us keep jeans and sneakers, althought the students had to fight for sneakers. I need sneakers - my ankles have alot of damage on them and I need the support from the sneakers. Dress shoes cause me to twist my ankle more frequently.
Tonight, I will wear a black dress pants and either a cream or blue shirt. I wanted to wear the grey pants but of course that isn't ready. I can't decide between the cream and the blue shirt, I will probably have to flip a coin. Nah, I will wear the cream.
Okay, enough for now. I might blog tomorrow and let you all know how the program went. I can't promise because lately, I have been so busy during the week. Well, as soon as I can then.
Be good.
Bye
