a little break

just done with about slightly more than half of the first CAs.. somehow this bout of CAs seemed exceptionally trying, despite it being mostly MCQs, which does not necessarily equate to them being easier, just that the sense that everything's on the paper and it's just a matter of choosing is slightly comforting to me when i study :P studied in the lib quite a bit for this round of CAs, and it's def more fun studying with friends, trying to recall strange names of unfamiliar drugs over lunch, having them explain concepts that no matter how much i stare at the ppt slide i still don't get, and having them listen to all the whining about nothing going in. thanks to both of you, hope i didn't decrease your productivity too much :P in terms of the effectiveness of studying outside, i guess the results of this CA will tell, tho i know it won't be too accurate a gauge cos my carelessness came into play BIG TIME this CA :( sigh.. guess i shall just have to trust God with the results.

on the note of studying in the library, i'm extremely surprised at how many pple have told my sis that they see someone like her in the library everyday, but reading medicine textbooks! when my sis first told me, i found that particular friend's observation pretty freaky, cos i doubt we even look similar at all! then a couple of weeks later, another friend tells my sis the same thing.. looks like things look very different from an outsider's perspective!

got 2 weeks before the next test, so i decided to give myself the weekend off :) nice to have a breather, but also strange to have a break this short. can't really do everything i want to do, maybe i'll just go out a bit, can't believe i haven't been to town for so long i didn't know the christmas decoration and lights were up.. and then i can imagine how hard it'll be to try to sit down and study again just when i got into the swing of relaxing..lol

to the rest who's exams are coming, jiayou! deb and yingggg, i'm sure you both can do it, ultimately hardworking pple, i'm sure it'll pay off. to xiaogui, smarty pants :P don't need to worry at all! and ouou, see you in the lib everyday, even sunday! sure u've gone over your material for the 100th time you've got it all at the tip of your fingers. all the best dears!
