Sky Full of Stars

I just spent an entire hour dancing alone in the hall with the lights switched off and the curtains drawn. 
Came back after this afternoon's paper and fell flat on the bed.
Couldn't sleep so I took my diary and walked up to the pool. Sat at the clubhouse and poured my heart out on those yellow pages while listening to some songs.
Walked back to my apartment and fell flat on the bed again.
Couldn't fall asleep.
Again.
Turned up the volume on my MP3 and walked 20 paces from my room to the hall. Laughed at myself for thinking about dancing alone.
Started moving a little bit and next thing I know I'm lifting my hands, moving my legs, flying round the hall and dancing like there's no tomorrow with tears streaming down my face.
I'm so overwhelmed by everything that's been happening lately.
So damn overwhelmed it's insane.
And then there's all this exam stress that's just begging to be released.
I don't know how I got through these past 10 days. I really don't. Papers everyday with no breaks in between except for the weekend plus practicals. I'm so sleep deprived and I haven't been eating properly because I've been so caught up with my notes and everything. For the first time in all my years of sitting for exams I actually woke up in the middle of the night to study for the next day's papers. 
I just don't know how I did it.
Brain drain, seriously.
I really need to go out.
I desperately need to go out with someone, have a drink and just enjoy some good company.
Can't wait to be back home.

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...
