A thought.

It has been one and a half years. When I attended my Halfway Hall earlier, the significance of it didn't strike me immediately. I was completely blase about the whole thing since I am a medic and frankly I am only a quarter through my course.

Yesterday the gravity of all of it sunk in, most of my close friends are not medics and would be graduating in one and half year's time. The realistic and cynical me knows that I probably won't see any of them anymore for the rest of my life. That is a very sobering thought because they have played such a BIG part of my life here and also back home as well.

They are my travel buddies. They are "my getting drunk" buddies. They are my homesick buddies. They are my flu/sick buddies. They are my Starbucks buddies. They are my clubbing buddies. They are my chilling out buddies. They are my "life conversations" buddies. They are my "confused moments" buddies. They are my "burst of spontaneity" buddies. They are my "sleepover" buddies. They are my "It doesn't matter, really!" buddies. They form a part of MY version of the Cambridge Prospectus. Try picturing Cambridge students punting and Hey! suddenly there's Me and ......................................................You.*GRINS*

Uni life would be so vastly different without all these mish-mash of interesting people that I have around me.

Thus, I must make time to have a cuppa or two with each and everyone of them. *wink*

Now, to make time..anyone knows how?

Eating my cake?

It's not the midterm blues yet but somehow, just had too much of "term". I am beginning to fall asleep during lectures and not being "engaged" by lectures anymore. There's a feeling of tiredness that hangs all week, even through the weekend. Weekend seems to fly past too fast. There's no time for a chill-out night nor is there time for a Sunday lie-in.

There's too much to do, really.

During the week, there's work to finish. Supervision, lectures, labs to attend. Then there's Cumas stuff. I have no idea why but I have just got myself involved in Sidney Mayball design committee. So there, no escaping from weekly meetings till June =( Then, there's sports during the weekend. I have just started playing footie recently and absolutely lurved it! am hoping to make it a weekly event besides netball which I have been faithfully going for week after week. That takes up a chunk of my weekend. plus there's the social events that I thought would end finally after "this weekend..." or so....but never did. week after week, I've got social events on Saturday and Sunday nights. Balls, dinners, formals etc.

"Oooh...yeah it all sounds pretty exciting!"

but somehow when you are skipping lectures to finish work, not seeing enough of your good friends, feeling exhausted all the time, not wanting to see or talk to anyone, you have a bag of overdue laundry, your room stinks and is in a mess...

I guess I am choking on my cake, aren't I?

*shakes head ruefully*
