Friendster vs. USMLE Anatomy, Winner: Friendster

ARGH!! I spent way to much time today on pointless, meaningless stuff. Just take a look at my new Friendster Profile. Instead of the scheduled subject for the week, Anatomy, I spent hours playing around with Photoshop. Well, it took me all day, but I finally have it done. I came across this “overlay” technique for Friendster over at www.markyctrigger.com that I haven’t too seen much of, at least in my list of friends. Most of my friends are in the medical field anyway and probably don’t have the luxury of time that I’m supposed to be making the most of in the first place. There is quite a bit to it, especially if you want to go big time. The whole process took a while since I was learning as I went along. I only really have a basic background in coding and design, but i think I’m getting somewhere.

I was kind in a rush to get it done, since I seem to be so goal oriented and wanted to finish ASAP. I could probably have done better if the guilt of each passing hour didn’t haunt me. The theme was meant to go japanese, but as the day went on, I didn’t have the stamina to create any more conformity. At the end I just picked up pretty much whatever I had from previous projects. Then I just crudely sliced it up and uploaded it, forget about CSS and W3C conformity. We’ll save that for next time.

What’s the point anyway? Why do i allow myself to get distracted like this? It most likely comes from the sense of instant satisfaction of a job well done. I just makes me feel better about myself, unlike when i review. Each day of review, I’m trying to convince myself I can do it, but that sad hopeless feeling of despair keeps popping up, telling me It’s all for naught. Well, we’re gonna have to fight it again tomorrow. So anyways, there it is, a whole day’s work, I learned a lot and I feel a whole lot smarter. It’s too bad Anatomy isn’t just as satisfying. I promise, nothing but Anatomy tomorrow…
