The HAKA: A tale of Baby Oil, Make-up and Manliness
Matt Lewis
Ahh, the second year show…a special time of year when anemic and otherwise dull medical students get to trade the dim fluorescent lamps of the library for the bright, star-studded spotlights of the Roxbury Theater. As the show approached, I found myself thinking that this was my moment to shine. I had dreams of dancing and singing my way into the hearts of my peers and professors...

Opinion
Second Year Show-Down
David Quinn
I recently had the pleasure of talking with some 2nd years over lunch. Thoughts of the 2YS Show were quickly followed by guilty confessions about their pitiful boards studying. One person mentioned that she'd heard nothing about selecting clerkships for next year. I offered to write a piece for the Weekly Murmur, presenting some food for thought as you close out the first half of medical school...

Leaving Longwood
A Night Atop the City
Mária Némethy
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, which is going to set some of you a-tingle with excitement but leave others among you groaning, grimacing and searching for your remote and that day-old pizza you swiped from yesterday's lunch talk. In an attempt to please both parties, I'll spotlight a favorite evening locale that can be romantic or casually fun, depending on what you're looking for. Such a place cannot exist, you say? Have faith! I direct you downtown, to the Top of the Hub in the Prudential Center...

Talking With Donna

A mug of coffee is my muse, fueling the strings of words that emerge when I open my mouth to explain why I'm thirty minutes late So sorry, I'm behind, busy day...
