term is halfway through, and it's amazing how in 3 weeks one can accumulate as much a workload as i have. i'm so behind in reading snell that yesterday before prelab i knew NO cranial nerves whatsover. and i'm sure my lack of knowledge totally enhanced my lab experience of skillfully avoiding damian's dirty gloves (which were precariously near my face throughout raj's prosection lec) and inhaling Cadaver Juice. i swear, i'm not the only one who noticed that the brains have a different smell altogher. they're like in a class of their own =p i went out after that and i couldn't help but think that people were giving me dirty looks everywhere i went because my clothes just smelt so bad.
there's a Medix Week charity run today which i contemplated going for, you know, just to show support and all that. but as it seems, i've inevitably slept in again, and woke up feeling happier than ever. it is the best feeling in the world to wake up late on a saturday morning to find yourself snuggled under warm blankets in a cold room, while the rain is falling just outside. i know that it should give me a feeling of urgency because it means i now have less than 2 days to catch up with work, but instead i just savoured the moment and stretched like the fattest cat in the whole world. then of course mark called, and i asked him when he was going for driving today, and he said that he'd already gone and come back home. and i was like o.O time to get out of bed, methinks!
as for my holiday plans, hearing everybody make theirs is making me feel a bit lethargic and depressed, especially since i don't feel like going for various reasons. huipei says her group is budgeting $4900+ for a 20 day europe trip, which includes staying in hostels everywhere. i'm definitely keen on the europe trip bit, but not so keen on the hostel bit. the places i wanna go to are amsterdam, italy, germany and france. actually i want paris to be my honeymoon place, because i've always thought it to be the most romantic city in europe. especially because of this particular photo:
Robert Doisneau's Kiss by the Hotel de Ville
1950
anyway, so i've yet to decide what i'll do with my holidays. my parents seem to be unfazed by the prospect of their daughter staying in unhygeinic student hostels and backpacking across europe, apparently because they believe that it will never happen. my mom's offered a short trip to london/paris, and knowing my mom, that will be a classy trip indeed :D at least we will have hotels with proper sanitation! or maybe we'll go to portugal to retrace our routes, like my godmother has been suggesting for eons. although i remember the last time she went she said it was horribly hot in summer and that they couldn't understand anything anyone was saying, as they all speak portugese.
hmm. we shall see, we shall.
