The sedentary lifestyle I'm living

Yes, I'm living out a sedentary livestyle - out loud, almost. I park myself in front of the desk to read my notes, surf the web, read more notes and occasionally, lift my derriere from my seat to grab a drink/bite/lunch/whatever.

Now that explains the visceral layer of adipocytes (read: fat) forming a conglomerate in the abdominal region. GAH! I have to go run or something, if only to atone for the sinful deed of eating fast food for lunch two days in a row. Yes, I do fall for temptations as such.

I was busy looking for scores to play on the piano today! And guess what! I found myself a pretty skeletal version of Libertango by Astor Piazzolla to satisfy my playing urges. Wish it came with a more embellished version of it with more elaborate right hand parts, but oh well. It will have to do for now until I figure out how to squeeze the inner part into my left hand instead of having it fumble with the right hand notes.

Details of my violin! I exceeded my budget by $20 but the violin's lovely. I love the tone of the violin - woody and mellow but not at all muted. Yay. This should inspire me to practise harder and attain grade 8 at least! ARGH. But for now, it's the earaches and the incessant playing of Minuet in G to get my bowing right.

Georgia, we can do it! (although I know you'll probably not read this, but, practise hard! Et prends soin de ton violon! quand tu reviens à singapour, on peut jouer ensemble! :)

My dog's driving me crazy at home. Can't stop barking, that little monster. I blame it on the rain.

THE RAIN! It makes me want to hibernate in the afternoon, which is obviously a non-feasible option considering how much there is left to study for anatomy (shudders) and biochemistry. Physiology is going to take forever by itself. I need to focus.

Just gotta hang in there before the long break comes!

post-CA, pre-pros.

I just answered the phone prior to typing this entry and the auntie on the phone replied, "Wei, uncle ah?". =( Ah well. At least I don't have a kiddy voice.

YES! The CAs are finally over. 3 days felt like forever, as usual. If there's anything I've learnt from the past three days, it's that it's extremely stressful trying to sort things out the day before the CAs. Especially for anatomy.

Which leads to me to wonder, whatever happened to the promise I made to myself to buck up for semester two??

To be fair, I completed most of my readings on time, which already calls for some superhuman effort already. My physiology textbook is dutifully highlighted in pink (which matches the red-grey bichrome layout) and my anatomy textbook is read and re-read. But still, I couldn't tell whether there were two corpora spongiosum or two corpora cavernosa in the penis.

Wait. Come to think of it, cavernosum (singular) and cavernosa (plural). No spongiosa!!! ARGH. But I had to scribble (rather gleefully) that it was the corpora spongiosum of the penis in the CA some more. Terrible latin spelling. Would have left Socrates spinning in his grave.

I think I was a little distracted this time round with the violin. I always seem to be distracted by instruments. First, it was the piano, then there were the people who play the violin or piano, then now it's the violin. What is wrong with me! And it's always during the exam period that I can't seem to sit still reading about diabetes mellitus. GAH. Now I know why I don't really well for exams. I should just lock up all my instruments and leave myself with my notes.

Going off to buy my violin tomorrow! Yay. Much to look forward to. Will post pictures hopefully.

There. One day (out of three) down. 2 more to go before the mad study blaze comes back again.
