Updates

One crazy Monday is over and a zillion to go! Yes, I'm back to school and today was my third day! My schedule isn't that bad except for Mondays, where I have all my five courses and a 4 hour lab with only one hour break and its not lunch time! Anyways, my courses' instructors are somewhat interesting this time round. One has an ear piercing and is on the funny-weird side! I like him already. Another one has quite a resemblance of Elton John I tell ya! Not only that but he makes quite weird examples when explaining something; want an example? OK. So he goes on rambling about the GI tract to the point where I'm just about to abort to lalaland, then he asks if anyone has a donut?! He then further explains how the food doesnt really "get into" the human body till it gets absorbed from the tract. More like two openings and a tunnel, just like the donut, and he started motioning his hands in way we could understand the concept! My reaction? Well, I don't know if my mind is the only corrupted and too filthy to even attempt cleaning one, but that just sounded like something else!! no? Ok, fine. I'm a dirty-minded person, sue me. Another prof is very excited about her course, for some weird reason. Oh and the 4 hour lab? Its worth 45 % of the whole course, and guess what? On each lab 7 out of 10 marks are based on accuracy. Shoot me now. In another course, which we had two classes already, we're on slide number 76! Crazy.

Soo thats a summary of what's been happening in the past 3 school days. Oh, did I mention that I'm volunteering at the hospital? Yeah, Chemo unit. I know, I know, its just a depressing place to be in. Well the hospital is overall a depressing place, but that unit is overly-concentrated. At least now, I know I don't want to be an MD. I get too personal and attached to people, to the point where I consider their problems are mine too. So now I narrowed my choices to either being stuck in labs with company of test-tubes, samples and expensive equipment, or working along corpses. I've seen one in the summer, and I didnt vomit/faint/feel weak so thats a plus!

In the upcoming posts I'm going to give you a piece of my mind on the very three taboos. Politics, Religion and Love. So better buckle up, 'cause you're in it for a good ride ;)

For now, I shall bid you farewell, my invisible friends (I know you're there ;)) and I hope I would be able to post more often! At least now I know what to talk about, right?
