10 days

7th sem theory unis over. thats (almost) the end of three years. technically, three and a half years of med school. one more year and i'll be a doctor. there isnt anything i can do to prepare for that. its actually impossible to prepare for that, because the learning never ends. its a curse, but its also one of the things i LOVE about Medicine. that everything we study and everything we manipulate is actually based only on Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry.... and yet, we can never learn enough.

I start pracs in 2 days, and third year pracs are not just pracs...its a clinical case study thing, where we'll have to talk to a patient and diagnose him and be tested on that process. its scary. but necessary to get where I want to get.

I've been taking a break from studying. Watching old House episodes, reading Saturday by Ian McEwan, and researching Fibromyalgia on the internet. I miss days like these. I cant wait to go home for vacation. Delhi will be cold right now, and I can just see myself sitting in the sun, reading something really awesome (need to hit a big bookstore soon) and generally forgetting about my life as a Med student, and as Ed in Chief.

For SO many reasons, i'm glad this year is finally ending. The Mag was a nightmare, and just like fifth semester, it is a nightmare I wouldnt wanna dream again, ever. ITS OVER. done. tied up with strings and put away. (at the press, where its currently being printed. 1300 copies)

not that good things havent happened this year. there was SV. and then there was SV (haha). and things are finally good with me and the girls. and last night i was at DT dancing like never before...I finally have a little bit of peace, a little bit of clarity.

but like everyone else here at KMC, at the fag end of the year, i'm looking forward to vacation...just 10 days to go.
