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.

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 ...
