just a quick entry before i head off to school. i woke up late yesterday and ran to school half an hour late. so i had lots of people come up to me and say "hey el i saw you come in late for lecture!". i was so embarrassed. i hate being late i reallyreally do. i'm going to make an effort to turn up early for class in future.

i also got my results back, they were pretty decent grades but i guess i was quite disappointed because it somehow fell below my expectations. but i suppose i deserved the grade for not putting in more effort, so i can't complain. well it's good in a way cos it has certainly made me more psyched up to work harder this sem! i'm going to study hard and get HDs! :]

medicine is a paradox. medical practitioners are supposed to empathetic in the treatment of their patients, and yet they need to exercise detachment from their patients. i wonder how i am going to achieve that.
