things in one week

i've been extremely busy lately, with all the assignments' deadlines coming soon, plus the exam is just around the corner. to top it all, my house internet has been slowed down for the past few days because we exceeded our limit for the month. bearing with all this, i tried minimising the tension that rise by taking things slowly, digesting, and making sure i swallow everything bits by bits.

ever since the last 2 weeks break i got, since i did urban instead, while some others had to go for rural placement, i tried sleeping at 12am sharp, so that i would wake up early, and perhaps early enough to make it for the 8am lecture. guess what? it didn't work! i don't know whether its the stupid alarm clock, or is it just me who wouldn't wake up. i assumed we both at wrong here. that would make things easier.

though, even with all those tough times, i managed to squeeze my way through the week, and reached the weekend. it felt like you're finally breathing again, after holding your breath all this while. thinking back about the whole week just make me surprised at how i even survived it. imagine, you have an assignment due the next day, and you're supposed to submit the online version the night before, and you haven't done a single thing! i did worked on it, but somehow i dozed off. lucky enough, i woke up at 4am in the morning to finish it up.

before that, i have another assignment, also due the next day, where i have to write an essay of about 3800 words. well, its not that heavy since its a group assignment and its basically finished. still, the essay exceeded the word limits by 200! how do you cut down 200 words when all the words actually represents essential information for the topics! it's a bugger! definitely a mess. in the end, after hours of mind constraint, i managed to cut the words down even though its 6 words over limit. couldn't be bothered anymore and left it at that.

the day before, i had the entire day filled with lectures, from 9am till 5pm. usually, i would have skipped the whole morning and came to class in the afternoon. but thinking about the upcoming exam, and the not-so-good-but-not-bad-either previous exam, i shrugged off the thought of it, and washed myself early in the morning to go for morning lecture sessions.

sometimes i wonder, if i made the right choice to pursue medicine, although i can pick like hundreds of other courses available out there. but then again, i reassured myself that i didn't make the wrong one either, because if i had chosen another course, i would have thought the same thing sometime in the middle of it. either way, its not going to be easy, and they are made that way, so that when you got the degree, you're absolutely prepared for the challenge of the real world.

oh Lord, help me navigate through this chapter of my life!
