| omg... finally got through another week!!
Stress levels slowly accumulating, and the only way to handle it is to
start doing something about all these things stacking up...
Lemme see all the things I need to do:
1) Organise a meeting (Call up first)
2) Complete and hand in my project proposal for SALP
3) Coordinate specialist maths (4unit) SWOT tutoring
4) Either find somebody or make a lecture for Specialist (4unit)
5) Finish off summaries for the last 2 lectures of this week
6) Study the last 5 weeks of anatomy
7) Go over the last few weeks of HP
8) Read section on movement in Kandel
9) Find information about entrance into dentistry and medicine
10) Help family friend sort out university preferences
11) Prepare for a concert next week
12) Contact more AMS units
13) Think about what clinical school to go to in 4th yr
14) Arrange elective in Taiwan for end of yr
15) Transfer signatories of committee so that I can sign
16) Talk to Tzu Chi people about Hsin Dian Hospital
17) Type up summary of PBL 5.2
18) Buy food for PBL 6.1 and 6.2
19) Post announcement on Topclass
20) MUST find a stash of TSUNAMI!!!!!
It would be nice if that were just all, and I had a bit of time... But
things cannot wait and the world will not stand still. The problem is I
need to do a lot of these things by tomorrow, and the rest by the end
of the week! And during that week, I will most likely get another set
of 'things to do'.
Anyway... no use bitching about it, even though it is stress-relieving!
The past week, I went to a 21st and as a result did not go to orchestra
rehearsal! Did no study on that night, but luckily I managed to do it
on Wednesday when I had the day off!
I will have no such luxury the next week, with an opthalmology placement in the morning, and an HP PBL in the arvo!
I missed going to an AMS info session on Friday about a unit I wanted, so I will need to chase them up about that.
Wanted to go to the Open Day tomorrow, but cannot! (T.T)
I'm going to a Tzu Chi event about noon-ish/ early arvo... then an
Orchestra rehearsal in the arvo. This leaves me the morning and the
night to accomplish all the things I need to do!!
In that case, I need to sleep now. cya all... sorry for the rant!
I'll try have something more cheerful next time

| Yet another week has passed. Not very eventful, apart from going out on Tuesday to K with the Int. Medical Students' Society.
Been quite busy with study (the story of my life), but somehow i'm keeping up to date!
The addiction on Maplestory is starting to wear out, however my use of
computers is more or less the same. It is now more of a fancy mp3
player, with winamp running around the clock!
K was fun, sang a lotta stuff, tried a pre-mixed drink called Tsunami
(i'm addicted now). Woke up next morning with a headache and a sore dry
throat! Luckily no uni, so it's all cool!!
Tutored a new student that a course-mate of mine referred on. She's
quite bright, a bit lacking on lateral thinking, but otherwise basic
concepts are present, and appears to be hardworking. A big difference
from the majority of students ive tutored in the past. Maybe it's cos
i've only tutored guys in the past...
Only one issue tho... she doesn't talk enough!! So it's hard to tell if
she understands or not. Makes my life just a tad difficult... but i'll
try to get her to talk more next lesson.
Anyway... enough of that... hopefully have RK coming my way soon!
That'd really stunt my studying a bit. anyway... off now!! ciao!

| Thursday, 2nd last day of this week filled with medical jargon, terminology and neuroanatom. :P
This week has both been annoying and very interesting. There is
definitely a lot of information required about the cranial nerves and
brainstem in general, but i find it fascinating to learn about how each
of the 12 nerves controls most of the somatic and visceral sensations
and motor functions of the head.
I am unfortunately only halfway through a detailed summary of the 12,
and just started VII facial nerve last night. this means that I am
probably behind by 1 day, which isn't too bad considering i have been
frequently told that this week is by far the worst in terms of content
by older year students.
I have also been elected as vice-president of the apollo health
sciences' music society at the agm... and look forward to fulfilling te
expectations of that position soon.
About the WHO petition that I was doing around the beginning of this
year, our leader will shortly be on maternity leave (haha)... so the
position of leader needs to be filled. I have reservations about
filling this position due to my inexperience and being busy with
study... but i might consider this...
Well... that concludes this brief entry for now! Time to go to dissection prac!!

| Despite previous plans for the holidays, it seems as if it ended up
being one for relaxation, quiet time and reflection. The only glitch to
this description would be my one week trip to Tasmania, which alerted
me to the extent of my computer addiction, which I had thought
non-existent after my high school years.
My reliance to this electronic medium has become quite disturbing, and
any hope of resolution seems slim. Apart from the odd holiday, or trip
away there hasn't been one day that I have not used my computer for the
last 2 yrs!!!
This has only been aggravated by my discovery of anime towards the end
of last yr. In this relatively short time spanning just over half a yr,
i am a self-confessed anime addict who in this short period of time has
watched most of the well known ones, as well as others not so well
known. This has me sitting in front of this computer, causing my
muscles to atrophy due to lack of use, for extended periods of time,
sometimes watching 4 or 5 hrs straight.
A further aggravating feature to this affliction would be my
introduction to MMORPGs. In particular a Mario like 2D-side scroll game
called Maplestory... At the start I thought it to be strange, but it
grew on me and now it has a firm relentless grip on me.
Despite this affliction however, it does not appear to affect my
studies and concentration ability negatively most of the time, which is
just as well. It has however limited my social outgoings, and forced me
to be almost hermit-like apart from the typical uni day. A further
associated feature would be my full and utter reliance on the tabloid
free paper MX to gain the majority of my news as a result of
insufficient time to read the normal paper in addition to coming home
after the evening news is over!
The happenings in the world have never seem so distant and it appears
as if I am trapped in my own self-centred world. I do not believe this
is a problem though (seems rather more peaceful than the outside world)
as long as there are frequent inter-worldly visits between my own and
the outside, so as not to completely close myself off.
Neuro is vastly more complicated than previous semesters, and maybe my
above rambling is due to a small degree of stress, which has undoubtly
been made worse by other committments that need attending to. This is
life though... and I have to live through it! In fact, I don't think I
would want it any other way... I am apathetic by nature, and seem to
require prompting to get moving.
Describing what I feel right now: Pleasant and Numb

| - So over exams!!!!
I have been bitching about exams for a few weeks, and I am glad to say that they are over in every sense apart from technicality, since the last exam which will be held on Tuesday doesnt really count... It's a stupid practical exam. It has a rumoured 30% pass rate, and the effects of not studying are from experience synonymous with the sequelae of actually studying.
Studying however creates stress and wasted time that can be used to enjoy oneself... therefore it is in my best interests if I imagine myself to be on holidays already.
Do NOT feel like studying and will NOT!
anyway, now that holidays are here, need to make more plans, otherwise I will end up playing this addictive online game called MapleStory all holiday long, and that cant b good!
I have managed to curb the addiction during the exam period and weeks leading up, however I started playing again, and before long I had been sitting in from of the computer for like ages!!
How time flies!!
Planning to go to Taiwan at the end of this year, to firstly a 3 week tour around Taiwan, and secondly to go on hospital rotations following a doctor, which I hope will solidify my knowledge of what I have learnt thus far.
In addition to that I need to finalise my application for Starlight childrens' foundation service... as part of my SALP community engagement hours.
Furthermore, I want to find a steady part-time job that will allow me to earn perhaps 100~200 a week, to fund future holiday trips that are in basic stages of planning...
to Annie, Hope you enjoyed Japan, and enjoy ur vacations... was thinking about going back this holidays, but since I'm already going at the end of the year, there's not much point! Hope to c u round!!
to Judy, exams are probably soon, study hard and GOOD LUCK!! Add Oil!!! Do your best as I'm sure you are!!
(pass this message on plz):
to the Twins, I've heard from contacts that the results are out... I hope both of you did well in the first round of selection exams and got a score that you are happy with!! :D Otherwise, Good Luck in the second round!!! Go for Taipei first girls' high!!! :) Add Oil!!!
To all my cousins: I hope that I get to see you all at the end of this year when and if I go back!!
To friends in Australia, Good Luck with all your exams!! They are nearly over yippee!!! I am so getting pissed on tuesday when my exams are officially over. Tell me about any plans... and I'll try to come along!! XD
To friends in Malaysia and elsewhere, I know most of you have exams now, so GOOD LUCK to u as well!! GANBANTE!!! | | |
