good sleep...

Went to bed with a stomach full of steak and chocolate cake last night. i slept like a baby. probably the best sleep in a few days. i couldn't sleep on wednesday night (night before the exam). i don't know why. i was so nervous. got up in the morning and i had butterflies. i settled down a little bit after my shower... actually after my shower the nervousness was replaced with just a whole lot of energy and i was psyched.

ANYWAYS... let me tell you about dinner last night.
we went to this steak place called the norman hotel. it's reputed as being the worst vegetarian restuarant in the city. it was pretty good. the food was good. and the whole ordering and eating process was pretty interesting.

so you get seated and you order drinks.
when you're ready, you make your way to the counter. there you can actually pick and choose the slab of meat that you want cooked for you.

that juicy one in the middle had my name written all over it.


allan trying oh-so-hard not to drool.

so you pick your source of protein (rib fillet LARGE). you decide how you want it cooked (medium rare). and decide what sauce (mushroom, pepper or chili - i went with the pepper. on the side).
you pay at the cash and then they give you a little vibrating pager. when it rings, you come back up and pick up your steak on cafeteria trays. that's right. pay $26 for a steak dinner and you have to serve yourself. pfft!

but doesn't it look delish?


after devouring our steaks, we had matt's cake brought out. we gave him a horrible rendition of "happy birthday". we were way off pitch. hey! we're med students! not theatre majors!


and we devoured that too.


me and the birthday boy.

all in all another good night.
