'Grandfather' standards...

The standards here seem to be the same no matter how well you do in your exams, as long as you get a 'grandfather' as your examiner. Mind you that they are from the 'extrodinary' realms of the universe, endless achivements in their lifetime which earned them this title. Sadly but true, nowdays you can even purchase the title with cash, like buying junkfood off the shelf in supermarkets! Needless to say, i sincerely think those that take us for exams are to be respected for whatever achievements that they have contributed to fellow mankind.

Anyway, last postings results were out today & i am actually satisfied and contented with whatever achievements that i got. At least i made it through in a single piece, and this time round there is no crying over spilt milk. I really have to thank my lucky angel sitting on my shoulder this time. Barely studied throughout the whole posting, spent the last 2 crucial weeks nursing my tummy either on the throne or in bed, the last 48 hours before exams totally bedbound... Getting the thrill of my life when i had the 'grandfather' of surgery as my long case examiner, IT WAS A TOTAL DISASTER!!!

Pulled through this time, better do next time as well. Paeds exams are only 2 weeks away, and i know nuts bout EVERYTHING in this posting. Struggling through the basic stuff, im not even anywhere near of being a final year student! DARN, it's not going to the easy this time round, and yet the lazy bug has infected me yet once again!

Insomnia has struck once more, this time from bad to worse. I'd try to go to bed by 4am, but wil just lie there tossing & turning till 6am. The worse is when im in deep sleep, my alarm will start buzzing! So totally lethergic as i gotta drag the mindless body to wards for CP's. When i do get any chance to catch a nap in the afternoons or evening, for sure my phone will start ringing or buzzing with messages! Is this a curse that has to be lifted or what???

Looking on the bright side, it's friday once more and i'll be home in less than 10 hours time. The, i can REPAY ALL MY SLEEP DEBTS! It's rather amazing that no one actually bothers to call or text me during the weekends, and THANK GOODNESS for that!!!
