haha I survived my first week of school here, and I must say that I really really love it :) The studying here is unbelievable! In a good way of course. Classes are so engaging, and people are so sponatneous and my PCL group is so nice! We had a PCL tut yesterday (Friday) and it was 2 hours long, but it didn't feel like 2 hours. It went by so quickly because we there was so much discussion and so many ideas were flying around the room and I found that I picked up information more effectively in PCL tut than, say, a normal classroom. We just started touching on the science aspect of medicine yesterday, which was pretty much a very brief recap of JC bio. So far, we've been analysing a lot of issues in relation to social science, philo and psychology, which is so interesting. I feel that they have really covered such a broad spectrum of medicine, instead of just the scientific aspect of it. :)
I did something really stupid yesterday. -.- I wanted to write an email to yong jeng.. but somehow, in my stupidity, i ended up sending it to the entire Oteam 2005 yahoo groups. -.- stupid me. I was telling zeng that at least I have this one year to get away from the embarrassment and she was being mean and told me that it'll take more than one year for people to forget about this kind of thing -.- yong jeng is EVIL! :)
Last last night I went running around campus with xf, sheryl, zw and zx. It was so nice! The weather was so cold and I ran about 3km around campus and I still felt ok. But I decided to head back with Sheryl because I didn't want to give my body too much stress, since I haven't been exercising for a while. Ok fine I'm just lazy. But exercise is good for you! :)
Last night, I went for a rosary session in the small chapel with the Catholic group, and it's nice to meet other Catholics here. :) I was talking to a girl named Nicole (and I thought of cow and I was thinking about how much I miss her) and she said that actually a lot of people turned up! :) then after that sy, xf, kw, zw, zx, paul and I went to monash pizza to get some pizza. (duh) it's about a 15 minute walk from campus, so we were strolling there around 8 and the sky was starting to get darker and the weather slightly cooler :) Paul and I were talking about cars and he wants his Lotus while I want my.. vw beetle and kw wants her convertible :D I noticed that the sky is getting darker slightly earlier and earlier. When i first got here, at 9pm it was still as bright as day. Yeah, we bought 2 large pizzas, one loaf of garlic bread, lamb ribs and a bottle of soda, all for $30! That was awesome! and the pizzas were really good.. they made it in front of us and everything! and so cheap! :) then we walked back to school and decided to sit at some wooden benches in front of howitt hall. We were there for more than an hour just talking about stuff like roller coasters, scary movie, scary movies.. and zx and i were talking about the tower of terror.. good stuff man. :D
