First of all, I’m sorry for the long hiatus. Things have been sort of hectic lately, with my parents visiting, and the looming threat of the formative tomorrow as well as SSIP deadline the day after.
Fahrenheit 451
It’s been a relatively long time since I’ve updated this blog, so I can’t remember everything that I did.
Pop goes the weasel
I spent quite a lot of time at the weekend drawing, as the PBL load that week wasn’t bad at all. I mean, apparently it’s going to be brutal this week! And there are 30 drugs on the drug list this week as well…
Spring Awakening and Deadpool
So, as you might have been able to tell from the title, I went to see two quite different forms of entertainment over the last three days or so. I will however leave discussions of those to the end, so that I can avoid any spoilers. Continue reading
Journalism
Wagamama’s, while delicious (albeit a bit stingy when it came to the soy sauce) was also very expensive! I spent about a week and a half’s food budget in one evening…
And for that I consumed prawn gyoza (or dumplings), a duck ramen soup (basically a noodle soup) and a passion fruit cheesecake. There may or may not have also been drinking of cocktails at the beginning of the evening (and by beginning, I mean 4 PM).
(Seriously, some people had a pitcher each because they were on offer. I admire their alcohol tolerance so much: I was tipsy and sleepy after one pina colada.)
Pancake Day
Yesterday was a nice day for me. I got to eat cheesy chips for lunch, that was a good half hour. And I also watched this awful Japanese comedy, and it was so bad, but I couldn’t help but watch it…
Sweet Charity
Friday was another busy day! I had two lectures in the morning, on action potentials and on pain and nociception (which apparently are two different things: one is subjective and the other physiological).
We then had an anatomy session, that wasn’t actually that long. One of our lecturer’s also walked us through the pro-sections, which was very helpful!
I do wish that could happen every single week…
Phantom of the Opera, again
There have been a spate of very nice days recently, to the point that flowers have started blooming! And not just snowdrops, but daffodils and bluebells as well.
(That’s good news for the film crew (and David Tennant) who have managed to find the first few sunny days of February to film on. On my campus as well! No, I haven’t seen him, but he was nearby? Does that count?)
Hot Pot
Of the Chinese variety of course!
But first, let’s go to the beginning of the day, proceed chronologically.
The day started off with anatomy, followed by revising clinical examinations. This was student organised, and it’s really useful, especially as during the official anatomy sessions there are almost always too many people to see anything!
NSFW
On Friday I had a busy day. First of all, I discovered that the lectures on Thursday, the weren’t recorded because the video-capture material wasn’t working properly.
This was very annoying for all of us, and especially those who hadn’t turned up to the lectures.
(Of which I wasn’t one, thank goodness!)
