Of eye bags and white hair

Been having my exams these few weeks. It was the craziest 2 weeks of my life. Studying nonstop from morning to night. Trying to cram in 3 semesters worth of anatomy and histo in only a few days. When I was studying, my senior's advice of starting early kept flashing in my head. Nontheless it's all over. I did pretty well so I'm proud of myself and of my other study group members. We really pushed ourselves passing any limit that we've set. Looking back only a few days ago, it freaks me out. Sleeping only when we could read no more. Books strewn on the floor. And to keep ourselves from being bored to death and to keep us awake, we kept smoking shisha everyday. We didnt even have time to cook so for the 2 weeks, we've been living on biscuits, bread and junk food. I seriously lost a lot of weight.

Histology exam was on the 16th. The nights before exams are always the worst. The lack of sleep from the nights before really got to us. There were hallucinations, a certain extra-hyper person dancing around, whacking of own heads, and screamings when you realise you just couldn't take anymore. Exam was at 9. We studied till 8.30 in the morning and decided to head back to our own rooms to bathe, and get changed. I on the other hand couldn't take it anymore. So I slept for a good 15 mins and was surprisingly fresh after that short power nap.

Our format for the exams were as the usual. Theory questions, slides, electron micrograph pictures. Once you're done preparing for that, you answer orally. One on one with the teacher. Anatomy was the same except with the cadaver. Good thing our cadaver was in a bad shape, so we couldn't really point out much.

I managed to get good marks for both exams so I'm satisfied. Celebrated the night by going out to T.G.I.F. After a long time of not having a good meal, the Rosemary tenderloin I had really made my day. Plus I haven't eaten pork in a real long time, since my blockmates are all muslims, so I was really contented.

But this exam really got to me. I've been having a hard time falling asleep at nights and I seriously think i have more white hair now. Trying to get it all together this semester break and since baby is coming to moscow to visit, i'm getting geared up for that.

Can't wait.


hey i think he's smiling... i'll take that as a congrats from u.

What we were waiting for ...

Only the most anticipated series, long awaited for it's premier in 2008.

And since it Is 2008, Happy New Year!

Did nothing much on the eve, thus making it seem more like a Crappy New Year. My roomate broke up with her boyfriend. I was about to enter my room when I heard the person on the other side of the door plunging the key into the lock so I just continued on walking ahead down the corridor. Sniffles were heard behind me but moving in the opposite direction and I knew that it was over. My roomate seemed okay. Guess it was the right thing to do. Who's to say.

So a couple of my friends came over and we had junkfood and drinks. Played cards through the night and when we got dead bored, we decided to watch a movie. Shoot em' up, the title read. Sounded interesting, and it was. Not a very logical show but nevertheless it was a perfect use of time. Want your children to eat carrots? Make them watch this show. I especially loved the sex scene of this movie. Unlike any other typical love making scene, this one includes him dancing around the room, still pleasuring her while taking out the bad guys with just a pistol.. They must want that orgasm that badly.


But what we were waiting for is not this show. I'm talking bout the very show anticipated by most lesbians and somehow more straight people that I would imagine.

What could be bigger ?

Screams of joy! Weeeeeeeeeee...

Am watching the first episode already.

Happy New Year!
