• It sucks to be me-A musical Interlude

  Huzzah, so now xanga has a title option which will make my old posts
  that much easier to search through-once i get drunk enough to go back
  and give them all titles. Which will probably never happen, but it is
  important to have a few unreachable goals so you can always keep
  reaching

  Anyway, got bored one day and (isnt this always how good things start?)
  decided to rewrite one of my favorite songs from Avenue Q using the
  people surrounding me. Just like the finals parodies from back in the
  day, only not with finals!

  And for those of you who are new enough to this here electronic thing
  that you do not know what the finals parodies are check out my webpage
  at www.geocities.com/rveblade to discover just how twisted i really am

  So anyway this is to the tune of What do you do with a B.A. in
  english/it sucks to be me from Avenue Q, i show i suggest you all go
  see as soon as possible

  It sucks to be me

  (Student newly admitted to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science walks onstage)

  New Student (NS):
  Where in the hell do you find North Chicago
  Where is my med school-to-be
  Four years of college
  pre-medical knowledge
  accquired from my own UC

  I thought it’d be downtown
  but its nowhere to be found
  illinoi’s a big scary state
  at least i’ll rest easy
  everyone’s from cali
  coming here must have been faate…

  (Enter Phil and Lyanne-chatting in the library and overall just complaining about those things us med students complain about)

  P: I dont know lyanne, i am still excited to be a med student, it’s just that…
  L: just that what?

  Phil:
  When I first moved here, i thought it would be
  A walk in the park to become an MD
  but its second quarter, i struggle for C’s
  I’m dumb. Oh well
  It sucks to be me
  It sucks to be me
  It sucks to spend all of my free time inside the library
  It sucks to be me

  L: you think your life sucks?
  P: I think so

  Lyanne:
  Well, I’m kinda pretty, and pretty damn smart
  I mastered physiology of the heart
  but as for histo i dont know where to start
  so whyy-can’t i figure this out? Fuck!
  It sucks to be me
  It sucks to be me

  Both: It sucks to be Phil and Lyanne
  P: To not have a clue
  L: to not have a plan
  B: It sucks to be me

  (enter Josh and Ryan, planning out the next physio masterpiece theater for review)
  L: Hey Josh, Ryan, could you settle something for us?
  J: sure
  P: whose life sucks more, mine or Lyanne’s?
  R: ours!

  J: often seen together, we’re physio t.a.’s
  R: we get harassed with questions nearly every single day
  J: so it should come as no surprise when we say that
  R: every day there’s an aggravation
  J: ought to submit our resignation

  J: Physio questions-when we’re doing histo
  R: no thank you’s after, we barely even get hellos
  J: in fact unless there is something they dont know, we’re squat
  R: makes us blue
  J: that’s why we, will say too

  J: It sucks to be me
  R: It sucks to be me
  P: It sucks to be me
  L: It sucks to be me

  All: is there anybody here it doesnt suck to be?

  (Tam enters)

  T: Why you all complaining?
  P: cuz our lives suck
  T: YOUR lives suck? Am i hearing you correctly

  T: They call me the godfather, in physio reviews
  I used to make up handouts-but got no gratitude!
  learned all this last year, still with me they argue
  but physio…
  is where i got my masters
  so i have no patience
  and t.a. sessions lefts are only three
  and then at last i will be free!

  It suck to be me! It suck to be me! I say it sucka sucka sucka sucka sucka sucka sucka sucka suck! it suck to be me

  (New student wanders  into the library)
  NS: Hey i just got accepted into this school, and I was wondering if
  you guys could maybe tell me anything i should know or show me around
  T: Why did you come all the way out here?
  NS: well, i applied to a bunch of schools, but California doesn’t give its residents preference. but this area seems nice
  R: you better talk to the super
  NS: you have a superintendent?
  J: Not quite…yo! Bargus!

  Bargus: I’m coming, I’m coming
  NS: Oh my god! he’s dressed as superman!
  B: yes I am!

  B: My name is Bargus, from physio review
  I had a social life once, but now i’m an M2
  now i’m blue cuz all my time is for boards review
  but i’m here! and superman obsessed! at med school RFU

  All: it sucks to be you
  J: you win!
  A: it sucks to be you
  R: I feel better now
  B: try having five different classes in a day to memorize-it gets old

  All
  in north chicago
  sucks to be me
  in middle of no (where)
  sucks to be you
  man this just blows
  sucks to be us but not when we’re together
  we’re together
  down at RFU

  So there you go…if you want to know what the actual song sounds like, AIM coffeeweasel, and i shall send it to you

  -J
