Unforgettable, that's what you are. Unforgettable, though near or far. Nat King Cole's soulful voice fills my mind in between my draining study sessions. I haven't been singing much for the past month, and that I miss greatly. It reminds me of the days when I used to work with the endearing cancer patients - the way we laughed and sang and enjoyed music in silence. The way we were all brought together by soothing melody. Music is not in my soul, it IS my soul. I was just getting better at the blues style of singing before I left Vancouver. Sigh, medical school - what a perfect example of a love-hate relationship.
I used to be much fitter (now I am getting jiggly... partly due to my foot injury). I used to bike everywhere (Dominica is NOT made for bikes, let alone my skinny roadbike). I used to sing and play piano whenever I want to (no pianos here) and jam with my buddy Cam (he is in Vancouver and most students here are just too afraid to think about making time for music). I used to eat very healthy (don't even think about it here unless you are like my friend Lila... she is just too amazing). Studying does take up most of my time. And I know that other medical students are going through similar feelings, but it just sucks sometimes. 'Don't lose your personality!' Sorry, but it is a little hard not to... ;) Oh of course I will not lose my personality. I still sing in my room while I isolate myself like the rest to study for the exams!
Alright so to say a little about the exams - Histo practical was yesterday. It was not so easy as the first and I think that is because we had less time to study for it. The hardest portion was pulmonary - all the cross sections of bronchi and terminal and respiratory bronchioles were hard to distinguish. Most of my friends felt the same about the exam. But it's behind us now. Gotta study like mad for Mini 3 on Aug 11. Then a week after that is the final exam. So close to going home! I can feel my heart race at the thought of being home with my family, friends, and Miho.
Back to the deadly Biochemistry.

The crocks are wonderfull :) Very popular now-a-days even here...as for all the things you used to have time for, not to worry. It's like you're pruning a tree...you're cutting the branches so that in the end the tree [your life] may be more magnificent!
