its so abnormally quiet out there, what people say as pin-drop silence..yup, its very very weird on 4th floor..exam mode turned on and everyone is busy sinking their noses into watevr books and answer schemes that they can find..it feels so awkward to go out cos i think that if i chatter some1 up, one of those heads might poke out and say ‘hey, keep it down, will ya?? people are trying to study here!!’..which is also one of the reasons why i constantly remind myself not to go around knocking on people’s doors and disturbing em cos u may very well be unwelcomed..

with 5 exams this semester, i think everyone is feeling the pinch..maybe becos of the burden of the amount of knowledge you need to be filled with in such a short time or it may simply be the fear of whom you might get as an examiner - one wrong move and kreckk!! - u r gone..for most of us, i think its the latter..daily some1 mentions something about some examiner with detailed descriptions like "she loves to ask weird weird things" or "he asked something that was not in the book - like kbkk question" or "you have to know the schemes and flowcharts cos thats her favorite and she will definitely ask you as extra question"..haha..in a way, it gives you a basic idea of wat to expect but i feel that it rubs you the wrong way by making you fear of wats looming ahead..wat if you get that stupid q that no1 has an answer to or that part you didnt study well comes out or you forgot 1 out of the 5 causes or you mixed up the signs and symptoms or you are unable to explain the reason why something develops..

all in all, exams are terrifying, torturing, stressing and way too taxing..especially when you get teachers who dun teach and you’re pretty much left to fend for yourself..so everything has to be done from scrap..who said it was gonna be easy??

so here i am, takin a break from studying path.physio and eating at the same time..i m trying to reduce the time spent on my laptop cos its such a huge distraction, otherwise the fella wud be turned for the good part of the day..even typing out this is worrisome and i constantly turn back to see if it disturbs the roomie - nope, she has her earplugs on..haha, mine’s still in its packet - dun see the reason why i shud use em cos then no one wud hear the banging on the door..

basically my exam schedule was like this :

internal med : 10th june

surgery : 17th june

path.phys : 22nd june

path.anat : 26th june

pharmaco : 1st july

i planned to bring forward my path.phys to the 2nd of june and the rest according to the timetable..until rhun ping pointed out that there wasnt much time btw path.anat and pharmaco - i was under the impression that there was some amount of time in between..apparently i failed in math cos thats only a 4-day gap..so i had to make some rescheduling and this is how the new timetable would appear to be :

path.phys : 2nd june

internal med : 10th june

surgery : 16th june

path.anat : 22nd june

pharmaco : 1st july

i aspire to finish all this before heading home..hopefully..i hate to have to bring back something cos i jus know that i dun have the discipline to sit and study especially during holidays..so, here goes to poring over me books and loads of bad temper and stressed-out reactions coupled with malnutrition - CHEERS!!!
