17th June 2010: For Dandy

As butterflies flutter by
Reminding me of the time that I
Walked down a forest path with you
Following my lead, yet running wild
Yapping, barking, whining at the blue
Sky, the green earth, the air impossibly mild

If i had known it was the last time to be
I would have done things differently
I would have run and jumped and rolled in the mud with you
Would have stroked your furry ears and hugged you close
I would have tried my best to never let you go...

Butterflies, they flutter by
Leaving me to say my goodbyes
Alone. With no one listening.

I miss you baby.

"Give me a poem, and I'll give you a broken heart" (SV)

STETHOSCOPE!

so i finally found me my steth.

currently using this old 'Lifeline' steth that Nishant bought me almost 3 years ago... but its not exactly the most competent instrument.

ive been meaning to invest in a Littmann for a while now, and today I found the one ive been looking for so YAY.

its a special editon BLACK one.. notice how all metal parts are black! its super sexy. :D

been looking for this black one for a long time now, and i finally found it at this Littmann kiosk outside the lib (some random marketing gimmick). actually SV found it for me. i dint have the heart to ask them if they had it, because ive asked everywhere and they NEVER seem to have it, but these guys did!

SV walked up to my seat in the lib and casually told me that he'd asked them.. 'point blank' if they had it, so thank you to HIS unwavering optimism in life that tends to light up my days too :)

also im getting it at quite a decent price, with warranty and everything.. around 3900

compare that with the lifeline which cost me 350, i think..

in other news. YV is graduating. tomorrow. wow. congratulations, my old friend. i hope things go really well for you.

its exam time again

these are the best days of med school.
i will remember them as the most perfect days. the weather is amazing, it rains all day long and there's barely any sun and the skies are always dark and overcast. its delightfully chilly.
and we have no classes or clinics (my entire clinics batch is skipping clinics this last week during exams) so all i have to do is get out of bed in the morning, and hop skip and jump to the library.

spend all day there with my friends, taking breaks now and then, most often the ubiquitous tea breaks which we use to catch up on the world cup scores.
and cupcake breaks.
and random water cooler breaks.

its awesome. i feel like there's no pressure. i love just sitting around in the lib studying all day. reading these brilliant textbooks. watch the rain fall, through the floor to ceiling windows, and cuddle deeper into my shawl/jacket :)

i love exams. i dont want them to get over.
that will mean hectic days again, class and clinics and case taking and other kinds of work. sigh.
