Settling in
I must be the worst blogger ever, I don't prioritize my blog enough! I've been prioritizing sleep before blogging. Tonight, however, I shall blog before sleeping!
I've had 6 weeks of school now, and I notice that I'm starting to fall into a routine, which is mostly good, but at the same time a little not so good. Good because it's comfortable to have a familiar routine, not so good because I fear having the same routine week after week after week. So far it's been alright though, I haven't felt like life is becoming too repetitive yet, because I've made sure to do things and attend different events and stuff. Although I do get scared whenever I remember I have 5 years left of med-school. I hope I will keep on experiencing new things so that I never feel like I'm stuck in the same old boring routine, like I felt in high school.
School keeps me busy most of the time, there's a lot of work to do, a lot of learning. If I exclude the occasional feeling of hopelessness of completing all the work, I actually enjoy learning all the stuff. I usually feel like I haven't learned anything since the start of school, but sometimes when someone asks me something, or I read something regarding the body that I wouldn't have had a clue of 6 weeks ago, I realise that I have actually learned new things, acquired new knowledge. This realisation makes me excited to learn even more!
I'm too lazy to list and describe what I've been doing, so I'm just going to list some of the more memorable things I have done so far:
- Joined the Uni's Food and Beverage Society (FAB)
- (Through FAB) Been to a cheese and tea-tasting + acquired new curiosity for both things
- Learned the names of all the bones of the skeleton
- Watched Despicable Me in the cinema twice (so freaking hilarious, could watch it AGAIN)
- Learned to make good ratatouille and chickpea salad
- Consumed FAR too much coffee and chocolate, but far toooo little ice-cream
- Carved a pumpkin and painted my face
- Spent way too much money
- Joined the beginner's squash training (still learning to serve properly though, keep missing the damn ball)
- Joined Uni's first aid course group (I think I wouldn't be clueless of what to do if someone collapsed out of nowhere now!)
- Touched and examined most of the organs of the abdominal cavity
- Not had a pizza takeaway yet, even though there're 3 pizza takeaway places within 100ish metres of my halls
- Not been shopping - I CRAVE H&M
- Joined the Uni's fitness centre, and been good at attending classes (boxercise really helps to reduce frustration of memorising anatomy)
- Missed my family and bf
- Perfected my own version of scrambled eggs (I swear it's sooo good)
- + a some other things which would bore me and you too much to list, e.g. spent too many hours of my life in the library
I apaologize if this entry seems a litte scattered. My brain is in a scattered state at the moment - like those little yellow things in the photo below, heehee:
