There's this evil plot going around. There's this module called Biological Chemistry that teaches chemistry we learned in A levels, you know those pKa and conjugate base and whatnot. I may be able to be exempted from it and if so i shall only have 3 modules this sem! But the most exhilarating thing is that if so they will refund me one module's worth of money which is about AUD$2200 which i can quietly slip into my own purse *evil cackles* if i really get this sum of money i will buy nice gifts for all of you girls ok. I promise.

which adds up i will only have 15 contact hours per weeks, which is less than half of Wanting's 37hrs.

I was reading through the stuff in the module of Biological Chemistry and it brought back fond memories of my jc days because there's stuff like buffer system conjugate base pair, equilibrium yaddah yadda. although jc days were ohsobusy, i seriously miss leading a life that was filled up to the brim, an utter contrary to my 15hrs now.

since i have so much free time i shall REALLY give my body some attention. i have ballooned as you girls can see apparently. i lost my hipbone and gained loads of other stuff :/ my health is also not at its peak, with the doctor saying i may be having early osteoporosis. after being a health science student for a sem or so, i cannot stress the fact that health is really of utmost importance.

another one on my list is my driving license. angie, so is yours. please we should not succumb to procrastination anymore. we cannot let kailin be the first among us to know how to drive.

anyway i have been seeing patients for this two weeks. i am somewhat depressed by the fact that i have no inkling how to treat my patient. I know what's her illness but i just cannot make her feel better. i hate chronic diseases because patients seeing me only once and my one treatment does not take away her pain and it makes me feel shitty. The patient was like 'erm i have this pain here, can you solve it' I could diagnose it, even say out the whole etiology but i have no idea how to treat it. basically i am just stating obvious advice like you should keep your diabetes in check, exercise more blah blah blah but ya, i freaking do not know how to make her feel better. I could only help her cut her nails, which was unneccesary because she could cut them herself but i did it anyway because save for that there's nothing for me to do. I feel useless. i think my profession is just a fraud department. i am seriously wasting my time.

i should have just be a science teacher. at least i could see real results and not cut nails which is the only bloody thing i know how to do. oh no its not, because that day my tutor assessed me and said i did a poor job of nail cutting. DAMN.

oh nvm i am just ranting. boo.
