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.

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac...

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...

Confessions Of A Med Student

Everyone knows how tough medicine can be. Not just as a profession but also to study. I knew it would be stressful. I knew. But that's about all I was told. Now that I'm experiencing it, it's a whole different story. Our days are long. Our weekends fly by within the blink of an eye. There are never ending tests, exams, assignments, presentations, role play sessions and lab sessions. Classes start at eight every day five days a week. We finish at five on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Fridays we finish at one and on Wednesdays at three, followed by extra co-curricular activities from five to seven in the evening. Tuesdays are test days for Biochemistry. After every unit we're given a short test to see where we stand which keeps us on our toes. We have role play sessions on Mondays and Fridays. Presentations can be on any given day. Assignments are a day to day thing. Questions, essays. And when I say essays I mean pages and pages of what you've studi...
