Lawsuits and backstabbings

An amazing amount of backstabbing that went on today - and I'm not talking about Med students! Although I hear there are threats of a lawsuit flying around within the Trinity Medical School system...
But no, on this occasion it was by grown men, it's becoming seemingly obvious that there are divisions between certain personalities of the Board, and that it's rapidly becoming an apartment owner vs house owner thing. It's incredibly interesting, though even though I'm a latecomer to the board, I'm not spared the recruiting that's taking place between the sides. Anyway, there were grown men raising their voices (which is nothing new) and also attempts to be polite at the table, whilst later on on a one-to-one basis there was certain name-calling and pretty ugly descriptions of the other folk. Is this what awaits me in the real world?
Otherwise I think I'm coming down with a cough, perhaps the precursor to some chest infection of some sort. I did get caught in the rain, nay, got absolutely soaked on Saturday night, and probably shouldn't expect anything less than this, but still with the wintery days here, the wind and the rain, as well as Christmas approaching, I really shouldn't like to get sick *now*.
No lectures tomorrow - just tutes in hospital, I'd probably like to make it to the library and the photocopy store to make copies of Medical and Surgical Finals, as well as to get through my Clinical Examinations book for the first time. Although I also want to finish The Line Of Beauty, so that I can start on The Alchemist!
Anyways, time do sip gently the cup of tea sitting here, unfortunately my search for Gen Mai Cha has proved fruitless, so Green Tea with Lemon is what I have to settle with... Til next time, folks!
