Smooth Criminal

This happened 2 days ago.  So I'm in the GW bookstore, looking at books for my 3rd year of med school.  Naturally, I have no idea what I need, so decide to use my 3rd lifeline, and phone a friend.

"Do I need to buy Tarascon Pharmacopoeia and The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy?"

"Just buy The Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy."

"Sweet.  Thanks.  Peace."

An Asian chick overhears my conversation.  "Are you just beginning your 3rd year rotations?", she says.

"Yup.  Are you in med school too?", I ask.

"Not anymore.  I'm a resident now."

"Oh, awesome, I'm jealous!  Are there any books you recommend for the surgery rotation?"

"Yeah definitely", she says.  As she imparts me with her medical wisdom, I accidently walk into a bookshelf, almost knocking the thing over.  That was smooth, Mike, real smooth.  I make some awkward comment about almost knocking the entire bookstore over.  Luckily, she smiles.

After a few minutes, I thank her for her advice, and we part ways.  I do a lap around the medical textbook section, looking for some of the titles that my new friend just recommended to me.  I could not tell you how or why, but I somehow manage to walk into another bookshelf, making a fair bit of noise, and I cause the shelf teeter a bit.  I spin my head around in a circle, exorcist style, to make sure that there were no witnesses to my latest display of klutz.  Ok...fine, I turned my body along with my head.  As I turn around, I see an Asian resident giving me an odd look.  Aaaaawkward!  I wonder how long it will be until I'm assigned to work with her during my clinical rotations.
