dependent

had a really horrible day today. great forces were all at work to annoy me, with both people and animals as their pawns. counting only the number of ways in which animals have harrassed me today:

- sherbie, despite having undergone an overnight fast, managed to poop mid-flight during his morning release, when i was already running late for uni.
- could not figure out which keys went to which of osky/mei/peanut's homes. so ended up trying keys in front of both neighbours' houses and managing to look like the neighborhood burglar.
- osky didn't want to eat his dinner. while i was standing there, puzzling over how to solve this issue, he casually walked over and pooped right in front of me.
- mei scratched and hissed kaixing.

okay technically in the last example kx was harassed, not me, but all dog owners find it distressing when their dog is cowering between their knees. particularly when it's in response to a rescued kitten.

having said that, kaixing gazing at me with her squeaky ball between her jaws is priceless. maybe i'm biased, but then maybe dogs really are man's best friend.

commemoration

back to school again, for my final semester of university. the past two weeks have been a whirlwind of fun, excitement, good food, and sleep deprivation.

as suddenly as it all began, i found myself sitting in the mary lockett LT this morning, listening to my lecturer as he said "it's the beginning of the end". something about 130 days until we graduate. he repeated it quite a lot, in fact. 130 days, 130 days, 130 days...

oh yes. and we also got our job offers today, and i did get my preference. and strangely enough i am also going to spend the rest of my rotations this year in the same hospital, ie >50% of this year in one hospital! pretty crazy, given that i hardly ever got my first preferences in the previous two years.

umm.. and actually i don't have much to say. i have a week of lectures before starting my next rotation. seems like fun! i'm looking forward to it. we're doing plastering tomorrow morning :)

oh and i'm also excited about catching up with some of my friends whom i didn't see over the entire two week winter break. yaaaaaaayy!! can't wait!
