This past Friday Baylor had its traditional "12 Days" celebration. This is a yearly event which honors the mere 12 days of class the second years have before they take exams and finish their pre-clinical courses (of course they have THREE straight weeks of exams... yikes!) The event is a conglomeration of short skits that these days were all done as videos and put together in a large movie. One second year was actually a film major in college, and the editing was quite good.
Interestingly, there is an article on slate.com about exactly these types of shows. Our skits contained some of the things that the article talked about, but nothing that I would say was too shocking or offensive. Most of the videos were just parodies of TV shows and songs, as well as some poking fun of the many professors we have at Baylor. I really enjoyed the video, but I agree with the author that these are probably best left for a closed medical school audience. Besides, who would want to sit through two hours of inside jokes that they don't understand? Lisa made the right choice and stayed home.
