Just Before I Plunge Into Finals

Wow, the fourth shifting exams is over! Just like that. The week flew by so fast I just realized that it's Saturday again, and that I have to get ready for finals on Monday. But where do they expect me to get my strength back? I guess I won't study for this finals. I'll just let it take it's own swing. This is not a sign of giving up, very far from it. It's just being realistic. How do they expect me to review everything from the start? Read Harrison and Schwartz cover to cover? Hello?! Maybe I'll study for medical therapeutics, but that would be it. Just what we've learned in the past, it's better to take the exams with full mental faculty and a well-rested body and mind than with a wasted brain and total lack of sleep.

So I had a relaxing morning today, I watched 3 classic movies. I just discovered that I have a TCM on my cable. Cool! Now I could watch classic movies whenever I want. Anyway, I watched Bachelor in Paradise, Harvey Girls (Judie Gardland is really great), and Fame. The latter is a complete musical. Nonstop singing and dancing. Made me remember my dancing years. It also made me wonder about some "what ifs." But it's kinda useless to really lament on it. What's lost can't be regained. I've lost good long years and it's impossible to go back. Besides, those memories just make me sad, but it doesn't mean that I'll trade what I am right now to what I could have been before.

-oOo-

And so I've toiled over the exams this past week. I drank a lot of coffee that I noticed last Thursday that my skin had gone really dry. As in it's mildly peeling. However, this was not so surprising, especially when I checked the contents of my drawer...

Maybe you're wondering why I keep all of my used coffee sachets in my drawer. I also don't know. Maybe to constantly remind myself that I'm overstretching my caffeine limits. Weird.

Anyway, there were several moments during my long reviews that I got bored, or just went blank, just what the computer monitor does to save power, or completely doze off to sleep (despite all efforts to stay up).
