Change Is Constant

Successfully passed Year 2!

I came home for my study leave hoping to have more time to study and hoping to have my meals taken care of instead of having to keep going out to buy something or cooking.

I thought I studied enough.

But then I went back south and started revising for my paper on Monday and realized I didn't do shit while I was home.

I mean I went through my notes and all. I remembered a few things here are there. Mostly from what was taught during our lectures. 

But that was about it.

So began my two weeks of sleepless nights. 

We'd have only theory papers every alternate days and on the other days we'd have both theory and practical papers. And these papers were all back to back so there was no break in between subjects which made this a nightmare.

Once the theory paper was done I'd come back and (try to) sleep for an hour or two then I'd wake up, wash up and start studying. In between I'd have my meal for the day and I'd be drinking bottles and bottles of water to try to stay full but that didn't work. Literally survived on bread and kimchi ramen noodles for nearly two weeks. And scrambled eggs xD

The days when we had both papers were the most tiring coz we'd have less time to prepare for the following paper so sleep was not a priority.

I can't remember being this calm for an exam.

When I came back that Saturday at the end of my break I didn't contact anyone except one or two friends. I was on my own the entire time, studying alone and everything. It was great in a way because I had absolutely no distractions so I managed to focus entirely on what I needed to finish studying.

I didn't even take my supplements. Usually I get really tired by the end of the day and I tend to oversleep sometimes when that happens but I got through this time and it was all by God's grace. 

I honestly wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

I had so many other things on my mind.

Friends mostly.

Sometimes dissimilar interests and language barriers can be a huge problem. 

Packed up my stuff this weekend. Moving up north for my clinical studies.

Came to campus to see my lecturers before leaving and took a few of pictures.

 This is the road leading to campus. Every morning when the 8am sun is out the sun shines through the leaves  it's so, so beautiful.

 Will miss this view from campus. Now it's gonna be cars, cars, traffic jams and buildings everywhere.

 Had such an experience here. I'm choosing to take with me all the good memories that were made.

Really going to miss JB. I learnt so much there. I met so many people there. I found myself there after three long years. 

Met my Jacob Artist look-a-like before I left and we're keeping in touch so that's something :P 

In church on Saturday, Aunty B wrote for, sang for and dedicated a lovely, lovely song to me. Was so very touched I nearly burst out in tears. 

On Sunday I went for dinner with my family away from home. They took me to this lovely place at the Puteri Harbour. Daddy met one of his good friends there and we all sat down and started talking and he told me this, "The only constant in life in change."

Friends change, feelings change, people change, circumstances change.

All you need to do is learn how to adapt, and everything will fall into place.

So here's to goodbyes and wonderful new beginnings.
