Long looong day

And it started off at 7am when my alarm started ringing. When i finally got out of bed it was 7.20am. Got ready, had breakfast and off i went to uni, alone. Joyce's working today and Jiena decided to skip Therapeutics today cos Hao's leaving. Yeah, i skipped Therapeutics the day che left too.

Therapeutics and more therapeutics.. Pharm Science.. Chemotherapy.. finally, Pharmacokinetics, the last lecture of the day. Just when you think 5 lectures is enough for one day, you'd have to think again cos i had to go for a 3-hour practical session in the afternoon. Well, i don't get these long days alot, sometimes we have FREE days with absolutely no lecture, no tute, no clinical rounds and no pracs at all. :)

And since i wasn't really tired, i went for a short jog and planned to go Grove tonight. Val offered to send me there and i happily accepted the offer only to realise that we were half an hour early and Val was running late for her dinner. So, we decided i could go another time. So much for wanting to enjoy worship on a tired Thursday night. Well, i got home and sat through Home & away, Garry unmarried and Gossip Girl with Jiena whose boyfriend has just left for Sydney. And oh, we also watched this programme called Catalyst that talks about all things related to science and we saw these cute little creatures known as the Weedy Sea Dragon. They look very much like sea horses with sea weed sticking out from every side of their body. And they come in different sorts of colours.

Which reminds me of the video Andrew showed us today at Chemo, with a round worm wiggling inside someone's colon! YUCKS! I got goosebumps all over when i looked at how the round worm wiggle and wiggle and imagine someone having a bucket load of those worms. Just the thought of it makes me go YEEEWWW!

Andrew can be really funny, sometimes. He was teaching Therapeutics as well today and he was talking about Age-related Macular Degeneration (damage to eye which can lead to blindness). One of the lifestyle risk factors is having a history of smoking within the past 20 years. And so he said, "the only thing you can tell the patients is to invent a time machine, go back 20 years and stop smoking.." *sweats*

Anyway, we've got bus rides to use up cos Metro's introducing the GREENCARD apparently and we won't be able to use our previous bus tickets anymore. SO, Jiena and i will be heading wherever the bus takes us for the next few days just to use them up and save us having to apply for a refund of a few dollars. So, spa? rosny? city? seven mile beach? swimming? WOOO HOO~!

Now, just before i head off to bed and end my long long day, i just want to share with you this cute little song sang by Hillsong Kids. It's a medley called "I'm so glad/You are here (The Same Power)" and it's from the album Follow You. Try listening to it, it's really cute! I really love the part where they sing,

I'm so glad You're here, I'm so glad You're near..
Cos I need You, Yes I need You...

Whenever I feel a bit restless inside, peace quickly comes and i smile to myself when i remember this song. :)

GOod nigghhhhtt! Yawns~!
