emm.. i suddenly had the feeling nothing was real around me... so i took my swimming costume n jumped into the pool for half an hour...i thought much while doing the laps in the pool...i felt breatheless but refreshed... came back, took a shower, n though still smelling of chorline, i felt much better :)... maybe i just need more motivation to continue doing what i am doing right now...then i came across dora's blog too...:)my slacker friend, n cos she sat beside me, it somehow passed on to me too.. haha...yes, n her post inspired me! haha...never tot it wld come frm her but ya... :) hehe.. thanks dora.. i think i will try to have that outlook for the next 6 years...

maybe the lectures are boring cos i dont understand a thing...

maybe i dont understand cos i have not been putting in much effort...

maybe i have not been putting in much effort cos there are too many bright pple in medicine school...that demoralises me...

maybe... maybe...

yup, i have been blogging abt all the fun stuff i have been UP too... but never abt school... maybe if i look at those lectures n tutorials in a diff. light, maybe it wld seem much more interesting...

so here we go...

so yup, during PBL tuts., we do problem based learning abt clinical cases...with abt 11 pple, we discuss the problems, symptoms, hypothesis, learning issues, disgnosis, tests to be done n then conclude the hypotheses with the mechanism... the dignosis is the fun part...2 weeks for one case... the first case was abt G6PD, sec0nd was myasthenia gravis, n this week, spinal cord injury... as we aim to diagnose, we research n find out interesting things we have never heard before... like how spinal cord injury can cause priapism, which is painful persistent erection of the penis for more than 4 hrs... n we get to look at xrays n MRI...

HP tuts, we get to learn abt patient doctor relationship, which is interesting to me... not all facts, and mostly based on principles... we learn how to conduct consultations, medical interviews, what to do in real situations, e.g threat frm patients etc...

lab so far has been boring work, mostly in computer lab, but we wld be going to the dissection room this week to look at dead bodies! i wonder how i wld react but we get to see what others wont... so it's kind of cool.. :)

lectures are sessions to gain knowledge abt our body :) even if some of the lecturer sux, we wld only have to tolerate them for a week.. :)

n even if all these stuff are boring, i still have friends ard me who just brighten up my life n allows me to look forward to each morning lecture, even the 8am ones! :) 6 years is a long time, but the time we wld be spending together, wld only strengthen our friendships..:)

i still miss pple in spore though.. lately, i have been missing all the last 4 years in PHS, the food at hawker centres, n ofcoz my bro n parents though they come down so often...

enough of the emotional outburst...i am starting to watch HOUSE now... n HEROES!!! nice nice shows though not so good for my studies...but GREY'S ANATOMY still rox:) haha...signing off:) jac
