Flash Mob School in London

So you're in the atrium, signing up for the gajillion clubs your medical school has to offer (the acronyms of which you will forget the minute the check is cashed) when all of a sudden.....scrub tops are coming OFF!  The bass is ON! And about 40 of your upper classmen are doing a choreographed dance to Party Rock...  This is the most awesome thing that will happen all year!!...or at least it should have been.  lol.  This is exactly what a bunch of my classmates tried to do to surprise the M1s.  This normally would have totally been my thing, but I couldn't go bc of a doctor's appt...THANK GOD!  Why?  Bc what happen instead was the scrub tops came OFF!  The crowds started looking!!  And then....the speakers broke.  Ay yi yi.  I was so sad for them.  Even as a spectator, I was excited, I had my phone out and everything to video it, but I can only imagine how they felt.  For any of you who have never seen a flash mob, check out this clip from Weeds: Flash Mob - Weeds.

I'm feeling better and generally more optimistic.  I'm still feeling considerably overwhelmed, but I feel like somehow things are gonna be fine.  I've been working on my fitness and eating really well and I think that it helping, but the thing that I think will help the most (and the thing I'm praying for the most) is to sleep.  I still am having such a hard time sleeping. Studying overall has been good.  I still take forever to go through everything, but at least I feel like I can focus, so that's a good thing.  As for the boys, holy mess....  I'm in some kind of fierce trouble.  The best kind.  (Of course, trouble is taking a backseat for now.)

My dad is coming back in town Friday!  I'm looking forward to having dinner with him and the rest of my family.

I'm really busy with school right now, so can someone please tell me what is going on in London?  All I saw was a video of a REALLY ignorant BBC reporter interviewing a man who was really upset about what's going on.  3 sentences or less please. =)

To conclude....

    Okay: In London, last week, police conducted an operation which backfired when they accidentally shot and killed a suspect (accidentally meaning they thought he was armed but he wasn't). People went out to protest police brutality and what started as a protest grew into a riot with looting, throwing things at the police and violence. The violence grew because the police didn't stop it on time, gangs are involved, and the economic crisis in Britain is so bad that people are really pissed at the government and the police by proxy. Violence begets violence and now people are killing each other and setting stuff on fire and the political response has been really slow and ineffective.
