Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place 
In the diary of Jane

As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place 
In the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

--------------------

Hmm, this week hasn't been too eventful in terms of school... More on cardiovascular physiology, which is starting to kill people with the levels of complexity it goes to. Maybe I should put in a bit more revision on my part... Somehow it feels like I have the whole topic at the tip of my brain, but can't quite put my hand on it, and can't apply the concepts practically either ><. Physiology feels like the type of topic that I would go find tuition for, a good tutor would definitely... Oh wait. 

Went for two suppers this week on both Wednesday and Thursday, and they were pretty fun, with a few of the OG people staying at uni, in KE Hall or PGP. They ended really late though, as if I need another reason to have late nights... Still, I'd do it again soon =P we missed the special chicken on Thursday at Sheares' Hall during supper! We've got to go again soon, and preorder this time lol.

Our results were released on Thursday, and somehow I didn't do too badly. At all. In fact, I did so incredibly well that I was a bit taken aback, since it meant that they either changed the answers for the Biochem MCQs, or gave me full marks (or over 100%) for both my essays. Next morning: "Dear M1s, there are some errors in the marks for CA1A. Please disregard the marks." from the Dean's Office. Fail. The real marks came this weekend, and though they were pretty ouch >.<, it's not like I didn't see it coming. Hmm.

I've cut down so much on gaming that it's starting to feel a bit weird. Everyone's busy rushing to level 80 since WotLK released, and here I am taking my time about it. Which is when I sort of realised how much time I created just by not gaming. With all that extra time, think of how much more effective with my time I could be! I'd have more time for everything else, more time to pick up things I had to drop, and greater levels of concentration, not to mention better sleeping patterns! Meh, back to WoW. Level 74, gogo~

I finally went swimming on Friday, with Xu Sheng and Chin Ee. This marks the first time (since almost forever) that I actually went and got some actual exercise of my own accord. Why swimming, when I could just run or something easier? I suppose it's because of my swimming background, from waaay back. Army made me dislike running, not that I really liked it in the first place or anything. I could come to at least tolerate it again I guess, given the right factors, starting with it being voluntary. But for now, I don't think I could run to save my life. Literally. The depressing thing was, after that swim (which was so much more exhausting than I ever remember it being), I felt terrible (to be expected, with all the lack of exercise, but still). The thing about swimming, the real exhaustion only kicks in after you stop and get out of the water. It really was quite bad, but Xu Sheng and Chin Ee were helpful and cool about it. The worst part? It was only after a mere 10 or so laps. Already dead. It eventually came out talking to Michelle, and then I really almost died of embarrassment T_T. But fie, deterrence! I've got to keep this up relatively regularly at least before my muscles and CVS adjust to the load again. It's theoretically an effective use of my time anyway, not to mention good for me... And isn't it ironic that I finally got to exercising while we're studying about the heart, lol.

Just got back from spending the whole afternoon and evening at the Asia Conference 08, currently hosted by my church. Today it was Benny Hinn, and the session was amazing (as are most of Benny Hinn's rallies), even though we couldn't get a seat in the main auditorium due to insane queues. The anointing of God is so strong on him, and when it resonates with the whole atmosphere and aniointing in the service, miracles just happen, and the power of God just moves in incredible ways, especially in the area of healing, which he's well known for. The whole experience was even more special, since this time I was looking on through the eyes of a medical student. You just don't normally see people with osteoarthritis due in for a total knee replacement drop their crutches and run around, or paraplegics just get up out of wheelchairs and walk, to name a few. Quite logic-defying really, especially for people in the medical profession. But it's always great to see such anointing manifest out of the spiritual and into the physical. Sometimes has the tendency to wake you up to how real and powerful God is and can be in our lives. 

Next week is cool, no lectures!! Instead, it's just a series of pracs/tutorials, so everyone sort of has a variable timetable based on which groups they're in. I think it's just sort of a "catch your breath" week, and damn do we need one. I have to go retake a first aid test which I failed though -.-"

It's super late lol, the meeting ended at 10.30pm, and with the resulting rush of people to the station (the MRT platform was so full that you couldn't even go up the escalator and stand ON the platform), I didn't get back until about 1am. 

Night.
