Week of catching up
I thought Geriatrics was cruisy, and i'll get lots of time to revise some cardiology before i head off to the oz.
Well, that's still true. Geri is pretty cruisy - but i'll need to get my arse working to get the presentation and case hx finished as soon as poss.
And as for free time, yup, i have heaps.
But somehow it seems that my dormant social life is catching up to me a bit.
Its funny - i thought this passing week will be good and i'll have lots of time to sleep and do the essential study.
On friday, my friend came back from sydney after 2 years of being away. She came back for hols with her boyfriend and it was nice to see her again. I went to pick her up at the airport and took her to her hotel. She was too tired to go out that night, and after i went off to ACMA meeting, she fell asleep already so i went playing pool with mike. I haven't hanged out wif mike for a while and play pool and so it was a nice catchup. Its like a "tradition" anyway - playing pool after acma meetings.
Jus while i'm on that it doesn't seem like both me and mike will continue to be in the acma committee next yr, and since we've both been involved in the last 3 years...this going to meetings and having fun later kinda thing may end soon...
Anyways, i got home that night, and somehow randomly got a txt from this other classmate of mine. And since he's trying to "study" in the hospital, in this meeting room with free computer and phone access, he decided to call me up and we chatted till like 4am.
And that was like...wow: I havn't chatted on the phone for such a long time since....2nd year? It's funny tho - he's kinda like drowsy and tired but i was pretty awake.. And we covered pretty interesting topics...
It was really nice catching up with him and the interesting things he's been up to recently tho.
He's one of those pple with lots of good qualities that i admire and definitely strive towards having. I think one of the things that he reminded me that nite was that I need to be confident about the path i am choosing. Because my way of doing things is the way i want to do things, and as long as i give 100% to watever method i choose and like, i will get to wat i want. The important thing is the hard work.
Its funny how i'm saying this - since i don't really have that much successes to prove to myself to being with...=.="
Anyways, so that kinda stuffed up my weekend - cos for the whole of sat i was feeling sleep
deprived. I planned to do things on sat - but instead i think i tried to sleep for most of the day. I wanted to go practice short case with vid and stella but decided to sleep in the end. Anyways, on sat nite i caught up with another friend that came back from otago and that other group of pple. Again, pple i haven't seen in like a few months. Indian food was nice. That was pretty unexpected - but it was fun hanging out with them and going to the nice cafe in ponsonby. I want to check out more nice cafes over there some day...who's in =P Oh and i wana drink more of the bailey and coffee!!
Anyhows, the latter part of the night was spend at cycke's place where i caught up with the tour
pple and my syd fren. Eye toy, dancing game, those tries by dan carter, naruto-ism ruled the night. Unfortunately I had to take pple back to the city to as they have to work early the next day. Interestingly i bumped into another couple of friends while im at the city, one that justt got a new gf recently and one that is moving back to taiwan soon. Another catchup.
Monday - met up some more of the tour pple again and had nice chinese dinner, then went to Karaoke on greenlane. I havn't been to that place for SUCH a LONG time...!! And i havn't sang for a long time too. That was nice.

he next day, my good wonderful friend from england came back and we went to have nice nice jap food [author note: Nishiki @ ponsonby is really nice!!! i fully recommend going there!!] After that we went to newmarket and have milk tea. Again, catchup up with that group of friends, some of whom i haven't seen in many months, even tho we live in the same city. My england friend's only here for 3 days and may not be returning anytime soon. It was sad to see her go!
Wednesday I spent the whole night with england friend just randomly chatting. Its weird how fast 3 hours just fly by when you relax.
And I don't think i've relaxed like that for a long time.
Thursday, I finished real early. Went to the airport to send england friend off. Its funny how, the more you send her away, the sadder it feels...? Anyhows, spent that afternoon catching up with yet another friend. This is a different catchup tho - even though we see each other and talk to each other often (well, way more than all those other pple that i've described so far anyway), our catchup spanned across the last 3 years. At least on my part anyway.
Thursday night classmate called me up to vent on how mistreated he feels.
Today - caught up with my dentist who found a hole in my tooth and decided to fill it up, and take xray of my teeth as well. Also caught up with my credit card cos me and mum spent $560 on our teeth today. Guess that's my spending spree of the week.
--------------------------------------------------------
I duno, these sort of activities - to you, it may just be normal. But to me - its like my whole social life is catching up to me this week. And yet, it was not enough. None of it is enough.
Spending 1, 2, 3 nights with those friends, some of whom i see less than once a year, is not enough.
Spending a few hours with friends I haven't really talked to for a long time, is not enough.
And I havn't done an ounce of study at all this week.
Not to mention catching up on sleep...........
