Cool!
It's 11:10pm and i just got back from a basketball drop-in session. It wasn't the best time for me to play ball cos my legs were all sore from jogging yesterday (which was the first time i exercised since i got here). Anyway, it was fantastic... didn't play too well but i scored a fluke half court 3-pointer ! It was supposed to be a pass.... but hey, i'll take it. =) We were split into 5 teams, and my team won all 4 matches, but that wasn't the best part. Best part was that in my team was a certain Dr. James Chan, who happens to be one of my lecturers in the Bute Med school! So it was cool, we got to know each other pretty well, and chatted about the module, gossiped (abit) about certain other lecturer's drinking habits, and of course, kicked butt on the court.
So now my legs are real tight and sore, but hey i think it was worth it. It's real cool how chill this guy is... he's from cambridge, is a doctor and lecturer, is probably 30, and is good on the court. How cool is that... really God's divine favor here. Now i need to pray for God's supernatural strength cos i have a clinical skills class to prepare for tmr and i'm blogging! Plus i wanna go for badminton on wed. Needa move around abit more.... i'm feeling fat.
Other than that, i think i'm coping with school. Coping isn't my aim, but thats what i'm doing now. Still trying to get on top of things, cos it really is different from high school. No more spoon-feeding, hw or anything like that. It's all lectures and if you can't catch up, well... tough. So i'm needing to buy some more medical books cos my 7 are still inadequate. (7!!). We're talking 150 sing dollars a book... ! But no i won't complain, after all i'm paying with God's money.. haha.
I'm making alot of new friends here, from all over the world.. and i think it really is an experience. Cultures and traditions are good, but we shouldn't be bounded by them. They are just there to make us unique. I have to keep reminding myself that we are all one and the same, as in we're all children of God. Studying here has really been an eye opener, and you learn so many things that you just cannot without going abroad. So if you have the chance, going overseas really is , i won't say good, but a learning experience. Pray about it.
Oh man i just remembered..... there's a room check on wednesday. I needa get my room cleaned up! My room is probably the neatest in my flat of 5, but still... haha.
There's some cheese & wine party going on tmr in the bute medical sch at 7, so i'm gonna go check it out. Cheese & wine.... not my idea of dinner, but oh well. Guess it's a UK thing. Gotta explore the culture!
I need a massage....
