blog on, my friend, blog on.

when i actually do sit down in front of the computer and open up an blog entry, all the words just fly out of my head. URGH. yeah well. i'm just going to blog abt random stuff happening in my life. will start with dissection lessons. take today for example. i was trying to find the nerve and artery pudendus. every session i'm given something to unearth, its like digging for treasure. anyhow. what im trying to say that there's a great sense of satisfaction when one finally, finally, finally finds what one is looking for, because it sure aint easy. there's so much fat everywhere plus we have to be careful not to cut off anything. on the very first day of dissection my groupmate cut off the saphena magus (a vein on your leg thats close to the skin) and our tutor wasnt pleased. haha. and yesterday we started "Anatomie am Lebenden" where we will learn how to diagnose patients, feel for pulse, draw blood, take blood pressure etc etc. fun! haha. yeah though med sch is really tough- the amount of stuff we have to know in a short span of time and plus everything is in german or latin or greek and half the time i have no idea what everyone else is talking about. but other than that, i really like it. i never thought that i would like it so much. there's so much to memorise and mug but. i cant really lay my finger on why i like it, but i just do. anyhow.
for christmas hols i'm going to Italy! ITALY! haha. Rome, Naples and Venice. am super excited. haha.
for my elective i'm taking spanish. spanish sounds so cool to listen to. when my teacher speaks super fast its like i'm just lost in the sounds and cant find my way out again, but in a good way. haha.
the weather is decreasing drastically. its really cold now. i can finally wear my long parkas!!! :D heehee.this morning there was SO much fog it was like i was trapped in a cloud. no kidding. i couldnt see beyond 10meters, i swear. but it was totally cool. :D
today i went to pick up the package from the post office which i sent to myself before i left singapore. everyone shld send themself packages. its totally fun haha. i actually forgot some of the things i sent cos it was so long ago. i packed "uniquely singapore" postcards in there and seeing them again made me miss Singapore so much. those sights on the postcards, the places, the food- they are home. i was once there, part of all that. -nostalgic-
