Orientation!!!

have been ill since the 3rd day in UM... gastric problem again... luckily the PM's (pembantu mahasiswa @ students' helpers - direct translation :P) of my residential college have been very friendly and helpful... they really took great care of us... PM's, thanks a lot :)
took part in English sketch... i was the narrator + doctor... actually i was having fever that evening... unfortunately, our group didn't win although we performed very well... it was a comedy...
now still coughing... sigh... UM is infamous of its informal orientation, especially for the medical and dental faculties... i'm still alive :-/ don't worry...
dental students have the busiest life as we're taking more subjects than medical students... our timetables are so packed that we've lessons from 8am to 5pm from Monday to Thursday, with an hour's lunch break at 1pm.. 1st-year medical students seldom have lessons in the afternoon and they are free after 12pm on Friday... we dental students even have lessons on Friday afternoons! :( we 1st-yr dental students are taking 4 core subjects: Physiology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Oral Biology, whereas the 1st-yr medical students are taking only the first 3 core subjects... yeah, both dental and medical students are studying almost the same things in our pre-clinical years...
dental life's very hectic and busy and we seldom have time for ourselves when we're in our clinical years... wonder whether i can take it or not, as this is not my 1st choice after all (read my previous postings for more details)... i hope i won't regret taking this course but persevere till i get my BDS degree.. i'm going to be called "Dr. Soh" after 5 years! yeah! ...well, wait till i've passed all my exams first lah...
all right, till then :)

End of Hols

22nd of Apr - 1st of July, 2006 = my holidays...
now, my days of relaxing at home, watching TV, surfing the net, reading, etc. have come to an end... it's time to study now!!! i'll be leaving home early in the morning tomorrow... it's hard to believe that i'm now a dental undergraduate in UM... how time flies! how i wish that i'm still a young girl, with no worries, no responsibilities...but just an innocent girl :'( the time has come for me to further my studies, to gain knowledge, and to get my degree in dentistry... hope that my uni life's exciting, informative,...wonderful!
orientation week: 2nd of July - 8th of July
well, i don't think i'll have the time to go online during orientation week 'cause it's packed with activities from 7am to 11pm everyday... will update my blog as soon as poosible... till then...

Watch out! England's going to beat Portugal tonight! go, England. Go!
