Crash course

On Friday, the coordinator for the next module this coming week came to speak with us. He asked us if we had started on the readings for next week already. Our class reaction was pretty bad, we just started laughing because that was just about impossible. We hadn't even finished reading for that week's module. I think we've come to expect/accept the fact that we wouldn't be able study or understand everything man.

Even though the journey's long

Exam Jitters

Here we go again... it's the first OSCE exam. Integrated exam.
Need to remind myself...
Proverbs
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6 Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8 Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.
I think my classmates spreaded some of their anxiety to me last night too. Haha

Watering the plants

Can't seem to concentrate on my respiratory physiology now. To tell the truth, I think my understand of physics is rather terrible. I was having problems with the ECG the last time, and now I have problems with the part on intrapleural pressure! Maybe I should just try to convince myself that I understand enough and leave it as that. I get it if you explain it in a certain way but if you give me some equation I start to wonder if what I got was correct in the first place. Ugh... never mind, I shall ask my engineering friends.
My college master previously commented that we are quite pathetic because of the very little time we have for ourselves. The time is really eaten up by our notes and books. Which made me rethink about the priorities in life again. I think it's really important to think about that, otherwise you'll be overwhelmed by the demands that external forces place on you. It's not an easy question to think about, how to balance work, play, relationships. You know?

One upon five

One mark. I scored ONE MARK on my test today. No matter how I say, it still sounds pathetic and almost hilarious.

Kept up at night

I probably drank too much green tea just now and can't fall asleep now. Why is caffeine so effective on me?
We are now 2 weeks into the normal body course. It's rather xiong because we have so many readings to do. Moore and Dally is rather difficult for me to read. Physiology is so much easy. I really think those people who understand anatomy to have a flair for it. They have little problems with different rotational views of a body.
I think last week we read a few hundred TB pages for the heart module. I could read a whole novel in one night but when it comes to TB reading... it's extremely different. As usual, I don't think I've studied so hard and so fast in my life before.
Last week I kept making so many mistakes in class. It's good to have a talking nonsense session with my friends. What could go wrong when you talk nonsense?
After joining Pamela's cell, I can understand how Shirley and Ben felt. It does take some time to get use to new people. But well... you gotta move when you gotta move. I miss the old folks... but... it's nice to be a cell member again.
FInally found a song whose name I could never remember. It's probably the only chinese oldie that I like

The common phrases lately

I haven't finished studying
I have test tomorrow
I need to study

I'm so naggy to myself. But actually I haven't finished studying yet. How? =)
