Umm. Lanterns & Locks?


First week of second year has come and gone.
Our lecturers are pretty good but the best one has got to be Dr Kishore for Pathology.
My God he's an absolute genius.


His jokes are so witty, so intellectual. "It's painfully annoying but I'll try my best to make it (Pathology) amusingly entertaining." 
He doesn't come in with anything. Just a marker pen. No slide notes, no power point presentations, nothing. He either just sits down in front of the class and talks and talks and talks or he fills up the whole board with information we need to know. That's it. And his analogies are soooo easy to understand, relate to and remember.


Really hope he stays 'till the very end and doesn't leave us halfway to go back to India.
Fingers crossed.

Money seems to be running out faster than water these days. Bills, groceries, stationery, photocopied notes, books and so many other things to buy and get sorted.
Things have been so hectic this week.
We celebrated Lantern Festival last night. Well if you consider walking around carrying lanterns a form of celebration then yeah that's what we did. Heh.

After walking around with the smaller lanterns we lit up the bigger ones (that reminded me of mini hot air balloons) and we released them into the night sky (If anyone studying Literature were to read this the first thing that should come to mind here is 'Poetic License').
Anyway.
Have started working out again after months. They've finally put in 2 treadmills *starry-eyed*.
There's also a 4 station exercise machine that they've repainted, reupholstered and re-sprayed so it looks brand new and better stationary bicycles to use as well.
All the basic equipment but it's way cooler than it used to be. Waaaay cooler.
Was carrying the printer out this morning and accidentally padlocked the grill door without taking my set of keys off the dining table. The car keys were already in my bag so I went off to class anyway and started making phone calls to locksmiths and finally I called up the apartment office asking if anyone could help cut the lock.
By about 12pm I was back inside again with a new lock. This time one which requires the key to be IN the lock when locking and unlocking.
I tell you the things that I've had to go through on my own these past 2 years.
Lol.
Well cheers to the weekend!
It's movie night with the girls.

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 ...

Weekender

It's been a rather good week to say the least. Assignments and tests are piling up slowly but surely. Went shopping today straight after class. Was looking for a comfortable pair of black flats. The lace one I had previously had torn at the sides (thanks to my gigantically broad feet) and the one pair I recently brought from home seemed smaller than when I'd last used them. Walked around for easily an hour looking for a pair that would catch my eye. Finally found one in Vincci. Also lace (don't ask me why I like lace I just do). Tried on their biggest size and it fit! Went to Mango and looked around for a pair of beige slacks. Found a pair of cargo pants. Minus the pockets. Those big, baggy, comfy pants. Grabbed a U.S. size 6, since all my other pants from there are that size, only to come back and realize that it was way too big. TOO BIG I SAY . I should have settled for the dress I saw but no. I wanted the pants. Gah. Removed the button and adjusted ...
