When it's never that serious

I haven’t read for a CAT this year as much as I read for the one we had yesterday. I stayed up late, survived on two measly hours of sleep and two espressos. I read. I read my ass off. But I wasn’t just reading, I was internalising, comprehending, answering all sorts of questions. I was prepared. Then the CAT came...

Number 1: haha. These guys are funny.
Number 2: I suffered a near heart attack.
Number 3: I read this. Jubilation! Then...Oh my gosh, I remember nothing!
Number 4: Haiya! We learnt this?
Number 5: I read this. I read it well. So at least I’m assured about 10 marks out of a hundred.
I had really been prepared for that CAT. But no amount of preparation could brace me against the assault I suffered. And thus the story of how I bent over for a CAT, and it did me good.
As if things could not get any worse, I later found out that it would only constitute about 1% of my total mark. I felt used. I’d lost sleep and endured so much stress just for one lousy percent?! And thus the moral of the story: IT’S NEVER THAT SERIOUS!!!!!!
When you’ve had a day like mine, you need a song to pump up energy. A song that reminds
you that it’s never that serious. ‘cause you might not see tomorrow.

Consultancy and all its benefits

I had a very good day today. Mainly because I did what was probably the best CAT of my life as yet. It’s not because the CAT was easy, (though it was, relatively speaking) but it’s because the level of anastomosis was simply ENTERTAINING. Either the UON Psychiatry Department was short-staffed, causing a severe shortage of invigilators, or that lady simply trusted us. We are doctors in the making after all, why shouldn’t we be trusted? Haha. Today was a good day.
And of course, good days are celebrated with good music.
Everyday I’m shuffling!

Party Rock is in the house tonight!

I’m baaaaaaaaack!!!! After long, stressful weeks of CATs that felt like they lasted months, I’m finally stress-free (more or less). Back to my happy self. I wouldn’t be this way though if it wasn’t for LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem. It officially became my go-to song. When I’m feeling sad and depressed, I listen to it; it makes me happy. When I’m happy, I listen to it; it makes me happier. When I’m bored, I listen to it; it gives me energy. It’s the ultimate song. SONG OF THE YEAR!!!!
