April Odyssey

The year just started and it's already almost middle of April.
Things have been really hectic since we got back from our semester break in March. In another three months or so we'll actually be done with our first year and will be moving on to our second.
Which is crazy, considering how it still feels like we just started.
I realize just how much time we had in our first semester to actually be able to go out on weekdays and still have time to finish studying. Now in semester two even our weekends are so packed we hardly have time for ourselves!
Two to three exams per week now instead of the usual one. For the past few weekends we've been having something on so it's like we're busy six days a week and have only one day during the weekend to rest and recuperate for the coming week. 
Our mid semester exams are coming up in just over two weeks. Everything we studied in semester one will be coming out as well so we're pretty screwed if we don't have enough time to finish revising.
Next week is orientation week for the new foundation students. Have been appointed as director by God only knows who, to organize things. Last time I managed stuff like this was in high school and as much as I miss being in control of things like this, I wish I didn't have to be. Especially with subject studies to worry about.  
Meeting after meeting. Proposals. Everything is so damn last minute here it's infuriating.
On a more positive note, however, I'll be going back home soon. I think most of my things have been moved into the new place already. Can't wait to see my new room all furnished. Can't wait to catch up on sleep.
Been exercising, lately. Not much gym work but the jogging seems to be some sort of release from all the pent up tension.
It really is amazing how having good friends helps you get through things. Friends who accept and know you for everything that you are. 
Have I mentioned  my penchant for hand-written notes?
Particularly ones by that one particular person you very possibly fancy going out with. Even more so if said person actually looks like an actor you so happen to be crazy about, say...Jacob Artist aka Jake Puckerman from Glee.

To Date

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...
