Medical school, round 2

Uni has started and I am once again up to my pits in work. Seriously, there's literally no space to move. But even so, I went to medcamp last night. Good drunken times were had. 

Also, Med tends to suck inspiration, time, and life dry. Who would have thought things could get worse than first year. In light of this, I'm not even going to promise that I'll post again anytime soon. Way too far behind in everything, especially sleep. 

$50 to anyone who invents a consumable form of sleep. 

Gene pool party anyone?

So, its been a while since the last time I've come around. You can blame the fact that I was living off 1g of internet a month for the past 2 months or so. It was so sucky. Actually I'm STILL living on 1g/month fml. As a result, here I am at uni procrastinating like a bitch and scabbing "free" internet. Hurrah.

Speaking of hurrah exams are coming up soon! I surprisingly very cbs about it all - got no motivation to do well, I reckon I could pass without studying so why the hell study right? Sigh, but that's just me. Unbeknownst to myself I probably know nothing and am completely retarded. Wait no, that I do know. =__=

But yes, my Lair is pretty awesome right now. All the furniture has been set up (some more dodgily than others *cough* DT *cough*). Most sexily of all it has a couch! Hell yes! I have my own couch! Let the many years of misuse and abuse begin!

So, my life as we know it so far.

Uh yes med. meh. Sleep-wise I've been getting more hours in total on the weekends than on weekdays. I think its called binge sleeping. On weeknights I usually get 3-5 hours. Weekends is epic splurg 10+ per night/afternoon. Also cooking for myself sucks; I forgot to buy bread this week and now have no idea what to eat for lunch - might go "forage" after the next lecture. I tried to cook chicken the other night whilst learning/doing a diarrhoea case, now I'm so paranoid of getting salmonella its not funny. And stuff keeps going off in my fridge which makes my life so damn interesting.  

I think I'm getting the hang of the Adelaidian way of life now; drinking and partying every night into the morning. Having an epic hang over in the morning and not being able to remember a single thing that went on in the past 10 hours. Then going to uni and attending 8am lectures where all the lecturers seem to constantly be on crack. (Insert gratuitious quote: "From an ethical point of view, it is a bad idea to blow off your friends." No duh, cos you'll get mouth warts yeah?)

Oh when I said "drinking and partying" I mean "drinking" cofffee and "partying" in front of my computer with forehead to desk, then Cecil, then desk over and over and over and over again. And hungover cos you know, you get hung over after being smashed like that. 

This post was awefully boring. Sorry. So sleep deprived I can't think straight (I actually think I'm lesbian).

I'm so damn hungry.

Ok! So the house warming was completely fail. Sigh, so this is how it feels to be ALL BY MYSELF. Don't wanna be, all by myself~ Yes. I like Henry's idea of everyone coming over - I'll provide the electricity and venue, you guys can pay for the plane tickets (and port-o-loo, no way are you guys going near my sterile and pristine toilet). 

Sorry to say I still don't have proper internet at my apartment, currently scabbing uni internet in one of the 24 hour labs. And there are quite a few people around. Uni-wise, stuff is still as hectic as it was many weeks ago. Haven't slept before 12am for weeks now. If I binge sleep one day, I'm afraid I'll never wake up. I'll be able to sleep FOREVER mwhahhaha. 

Ok must leave now. This key board is too squeeky for me.

So... study break?

I've finally realised how much I miss you guys. Sob. All this med this is starting to get to me. I think I'm having a nervous breakdown. No not really, I just like the attention of pretending to have one. 

ANYWAY, I'm going back to Adelaide tomorrow morning. How fun; 5.00am wake up yeah! And the fact that I'm returning to hours and hours of hardwork and study and muddy water and slow internet. Damn that get the blood pumping. I don't know. I think the holidays have made me somewhat apathetic: I can't be stuffed doing anything. Or it could be the sleep deprivation. 

As for holiday study, I can't say I didn't do any. But I just haven't done enough. 


In fact, heres a list of the stuff I DID do:

• catch up with friends
• form a band
• crash Melbourne uni
• a bit of homework
• and um... that's about it

How sad. I think I'll go for a run now. BRB TTYL LOL BATBYGOBSTOPL!

--- *run run run* ---

OK! That was totally gay. I think I swallowed a fly. o___O And now I'm all hot and sweaty...


So anyway! Where was I. Yes, leaving Melbourne tomorrow. Again. Tonight's going to be the last time I sleep in my own bed, for a while at least. Because I'm going to be sleeping with your mum for the next month or so. On an unrelated note, I think living with my parents has dropped my maturity level a couple of notches. Probs because of the lack of responsibility? Which reminds me, I never fully realised that I had "moved out" of home. I thought it was more of a "lets-temporary-live-here-until-I-finish-uni" kind of thing. I always thought "moving out" would be more dramatic, you know, with tears and parties and champagne and everything. And a car too, all wrapped up with a cute little tag signed "from mum and dad with love". And I'll be like 30 as well, with enough money to retire. And the only reason I'll be leaving home is to live on my private island with fully furnished casino and space station included.
 
Huh. A major whose reality moment there.


Instead moving out is kinda like, oh are you sure you want to go to adelaide son? YES! I WANT TO DO MED NOW, NOT DO 3 YEARS OF BIOMED THEN GAMSAT WHICH I WILL COMPLETELY FAIL AND NOT END UP DOING MED! are you really really sure? we'll support you whatever you choose. WELL GODDAMN SUPPORT ME NOW. are you sure you want to go to adelaide though? its ok if you choose biomed. FRIGGING NO. ADELAIDE NOW. are you sure ke-wun? we'll give you a car... UM. UHH. UM. NO MED FIRST! THEN CAR! are you sure? (repeat ad nauseum)


But yes. Eventually I got out of home. And so far its been pretty awesome. Though at one stage I thought I missed home. (are you sure you want to go back ke-wun?)


So anyway, time to pack.

Day 2 and a 1/2

I'm going to take this opportunity to bitch about how intimidating the girls doing med are. HOLY FUCK! THEY ARE SO HOT OMFG AND SMART TOO WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE THEY ARE SO HOT HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP AND INSANELY SMART TOO ITS TIMES LIKE THESE I WISH I... I DON'T KNOW. BEING SMART AND FUNNY AND HANDSOME AND RICH JUST DOESN'T CUT IT WITH THESE PEOPLE. >___>

*BREATH IN* *BREATH OUT* *BREATH IN* *BREATH OUT*
Ok. As I was saying before some idiot interrupted my meticulously calm stream of thought (that all Doctors have), Adelaide is not as bad as some people say. Below are some reasons:

1) Everything is really close together. But that's probably because Adelaide is a hole, and the points on the surface of the hole are physically closer together (shown in diagram 1). Of course in this case I say "hole" with a certain kind of fondness to it. Like how Homer Simpson would feel if he were talking about donut "holes". idk.

Diagram 1. This phenomenon can also be seen in Perth.
(Adapted from Google Maps, 2010.)

2) The water isn't too bad. You get used to drinking orange juice all day. Especially Black Label orange juice. Yum. The only problem with this is the withdrawal symptoms you get when you drink 1.5L a day and you realise that you've run out of money. You tend to become delirious and start having multiple personalities.

3) There's a free tram route in the middle of the city. It also happens to be the only tram route. In the entire city. Also, the trams smell like sunscreen.

4) Some of the buses actually go to 100km/h even though there aren't any freeways in Adelaide. Instead they have dedicated "bus lanes" that make the buses little more than glorified bumper cars. If you think that's bad enough, its also called the O-Bahn (which means "bull" in Scandinavian). And my stop is Klemzig (which is also "shit" in Klingon).

So despite all this rage over the many short comings of Adelaide, I'm slowly being brainwashed (despite only drinking the smallest amounts of Adelaide water) and finding it not all that bad. God help me.
