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.

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...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within th...
