The price being paid for being a medical student is feeling rather painful at the moment.

Had a rather eventful morning when I woke up rather late (courtesy of having slept around or past 3 am for the past 3 days) and went to the toilet, which usually being so clean, chose today (or rather, yesterday) to have a fit and release its contents over the floor.

Having come into the toilet bleary eyed and my hair stylishly arrayed with a genuine out-of-bed look, I beheld the floor covered with scummy water with black stuff floating about. So stoned was I that I didn't move but just kinda stood there breathing in and out quite heavily to confirm that the stuff there was really, olfactoraly, what I thought it to be.

That thought having taken a saunter down my neurons, I actually debated whether to go into BMT mode, where I stuck my body parts into all sorts of unimaginable places in the course of cleaning the Platoon 1 toilet, and cold bloodedly go and brush my teeth.

But naturally, in the end, discretion was the better part of valour and thinking that it was too early in the day (actually it was past 11) to tangle with intestinal waste products, I retreated blearily to F3 instead.

The day is pretty routine. Wake up, study a bit, get a message from a fellow M1 (Kokpun, Thengwai, Amanda) about going to lunch, EAT, spend the whole afternoon in the study room, EAT, back to the study room, study till 2 am then go back to F106, EAT biscuits then sleep (I'm eating biscuits now heh).

Note the EAT in CAPS, cos eating is just about the highlight of the day. Besides that its spent in this little world comprising 1 table, a laptop, and piles of paper and stuff. =( Occasionally you reach out of your world, ask another M1 a question, then retreat back to your own little space.

Getting to talk normally to one another during meals is akin to seeing all your squadmates again after NCO course haha.

But the fact is, I'm terrified for Biochem. We found the bell curves for the CAs online. My anat is average, my physio, surprisingly, ranges from average to slightly above (how did that happen when I'm so blur when answering Ray and Thengwai's questions in the study room??), but my Biochem is baddd. Seems impossible that people pass.

Its like going for a critical epee bout in priority time with your opponent having priority! Its hard, its do or die, you have one chance, and elimination from this tournament is going to prove rather costly. And I'm not really sure what my opponent's gonna throw at me, cos his profile has been one of MCQs in the CAs, compared to the MEQs and EQs he's gonna show now. As for me, I'm not really sure what attack pattern to use also.

AhhhhhhhhHhhh =(

Ah heck. Anyway I'll just see what happens. I recall a message from a friend in JC saying "our heavenly father will never leave you nor forsake you", something which I have to keep remembering.

Guess I only can do my best right, then its up to God. So not all the exploding toilets in the hall will keep me from mugging my brains out in this last stretch!
