Gah. Where did all my time go?? I've promised mom to blog a pic a day because she's been wanting to see photos from my recent trip but I've still got to go through the thousand odd pics and post process them. I've been making it a point to do at least 5 a day but that is proving to be impossibru! Anyway, here http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PiesInMySky/~3/xX_EDmuqBwg/mumbles.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Evana)0http://piesinmysky.blogspot.com/2012/02/mumbles.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25154258117243194.post-1351910189525429297Fri, 03 Feb 2012 21:23:00 +00002012-02-04T01:23:28.241+04:00 Hello,  To say its been a long time would be an understatement considering my last post wasn't even in the year 2012. The past two months have been pretty crazy, zooming by quickly and it seems to me that the year ahead is going to proceed in a fairly similar manner. Which I am fine with, because that way I feel as if my time has been well spent.  For updates, December was fully consumed byhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PiesInMySky/~3/rYQSUh1ywGk/back.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Evana)0http://piesinmysky.blogspot.com/2012/02/back.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25154258117243194.post-7004406292203070970Mon, 26 Dec 2011 20:37:00 +00002011-12-27T00:37:59.779+04:00 It is a pity to see that all of yesterday's snow has melted completely. Global warming seems determined to deny them Russians a white christmas this year. Oh well, besides the first day of snowfall, its a messy experience that I'm quite glad I'm not getting many of, this year. (Hopefully I didn't speak too soon) It is 5 in the morning and I'm up alone with my books and distracting thoughts of http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PiesInMySky/~3/PN-CpGlsJHo/fulfillment.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Evana)0http://piesinmysky.blogspot.com/2011/12/fulfillment.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25154258117243194.post-6397292241809513521Fri, 28 Oct 2011 13:59:00 +00002011-10-28T17:59:43.767+04:00I've abandoned this blog for far too long. Seems to me like inspiration strikes only when I'm at my lowest.  Which is GOOD in a way I suppose! Just goes to show that I've been considerably happy? Just received our Dermatology credit today, byebye pustules, plaques and nodules. I'm quite ashamed to say that I haven't learnt much from this cycle.

More often than not, I find myself between a rock and a hard place. I spend every waking moment beating my brains out, figuring out how to cut myself loose from this vicious cycle. I feel like I've tried every single approach only to find myself back to where I started, if not worse. What is it? What is this thing that's putting a squeeze on everything I do? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PiesInMySky/~3/SehRxbYtORk/whisked.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Evana)0http://piesinmysky.blogspot.com/2011/10/whisked.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25154258117243194.post-774068781649110748Tue, 27 Sep 2011 23:13:00 +00002011-09-28T03:14:35.248+04:00 28/09 - 01/10 I'll be welcoming October on a sleeper train. :) Don't miss me while I'm gone. Impulsive has never been an attribute of mine. I'd much rather make calculated moves rather than just 'winging it'.  Well, this is me 'winging it'.

The next cycle isn't going to be a heavy one so we have been simply cruising, taking each class with renewed interest without the pressure to sit for an exam right away. I may say so but at the end of each obs class we heave a hugeeeee sigh of relief coz the teacher manage to keep youhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PiesInMySky/~3/wvMO2ktIcBs/two-weeks.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Evana)0http://piesinmysky.blogspot.com/2011/09/two-weeks.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25154258117243194.post-5386355841112074162Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:07:00 +00002011-09-20T23:07:49.939+04:00 Surgeons of tomorrow!  Haha, this was when we had our Obs practical class. Wrong day to go to class with an empty stomach. Our patient was in labour for soooooooo long I was about to pass out from the wait.  What I've concluded from this cycle is that Obs/Gynae really isn't my thing. The birth itself was pretty miraculous, praise to God it was!

Do I owe it to the fact that I have no exam to sit for this cycle or is it because I seem to have everything under control? I highly doubt the latter because scatterbrains such as myself don't see trouble until we're in too deep. For all I know, I am in search of something more.  http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PiesInMySky/~3/IFvqX59mMqo/whadda.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Evana)0http://piesinmysky.blogspot.com/2011/09/whadda.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25154258117243194.post-8268778968896091535Sun, 11 Sep 2011 11:45:00 +00002011-09-11T15:45:39.931+04:00 It has been raining for more than 24 hours straight. Non-stop. It's cold. It's gloomy and it's cuddle weather.   There's nothing more that I want than to simply crawl under the plush covers with a book other than Obstetrics by Ten Teachers. Alas, right now I can only dream of such luxury.
