Epic.

Have you ever met someone who took your breath away. Someone who mesmerised you. Someone who made you loose your concentration and even forget the place, the time or what you were doing. The way they carry themselves calls out to you and grabs your attention with or without your consent. I have heard of people who light up a room just by their presence but I never believed it. Today I can say that I'm a believer. He walked into the room with an air of confidence. Not superiority or pride. Just the right amount of ego. I'd never seen him before. He wasn't in our class. He looked too knowledgable for a first year. I was surprised to see him walk to our dissection table. He began to talk and I listened. His voice was clear. His tone relaxed. At this point in time, to say that I drifted away would be an understatement. I didn't care about any dissection. I think the feeling was the same with the females on our table. We even ended up mutilating some structures. He was year ahead of us. He gave us advice and asked about our experience so far. He was smart and great with conversation. Perfect. When the time came for him to leave, I felt like I would miss him. I didn't want him to leave. The thought of never seeing him again.....I decided to follow and ask him to come back again. But my legs failed me. Getting back to work mode was difficult. He disoriented me. But I'm not complaining. I came to the conclusion that maybe it was best I didn't have him in my dissection group.
