Parachutes and Airplanes

It's 4AM and I am wide awake. Probably cause I slept way to early and woke up at 12AM. Got stuck watching Sonny with A Chance on YouTube and my body fully decided to drop the sleepyness. And now it's 4AM and wide awake. I just cooked and ate my breakfast, and I'm in our living room with the laptop at hand and TV on with Transformers2 on HBO. Neh neh neh.
And so I figured, why not write a blog? I know I haven't written for the entire sem. Unbelievable crazyness juggling 3 freaking major subjects - Pharma, CHN, and MCN + tiring duty hours. Sighs. I'm just so happy - although in utter disbelief of how I did it - that I am over the 1st sem. Thank you, Lord.
I think I haven't mentioned that on my 2nd sem of my first year, I was made eligible to a 75% discount of the tuition we paid because of my grade average. Just yesterday, I was able to claim the refund, which was on cheque. HAHAHAH I can't believe how excited I was to get my first cheque - ever! And to know that I earned that from all the hard work and stressful nights trying to pass Anatomy & Physiology, it was to me, a well deserved reward.
Soo, looking back to my first sem of the second year, Hmm. It was a quite interesting semester. I did my duty hours for the first time ever, having had already 4 rotations to 4 different areas. I can't describe how being on duty exactly feels like. It's tiring and stressful to think about the paperworks but at the same time, I enjoyed being able to interact with my patient and with my seniors and juniors. The experience was unique.
We also had community duty which was stressful mainly due to the organizational activities we had to come up with. I ended up being the over all incharge of our group and it was definitely not a walk in the park. All the stressing, and thinking and supervising. But in the end though, we were able to put up an above average program which made everything worth it for me.
My experience with Pharmacology, on the other hand was - unexpected. I have foreseen way before the subject started that I would suck at it. I don't like memorizing, much more about drug names that most of the time sound more alien-ish than anything else. But how everything turned out for me was beyond my expectations, and fortunately, in a positive way.
Oh my. I didn't notice that a former ANTM contestant was actually in Transformers 2!
Ohkey, I'm drying up on things to say and I am losing interest. Kehbye.
