let's see how far we've come

on the brink of a meltdown
I don't know when and where did so many stuff required for revision suddenly popped out from.
Its madness really. There's just so much to do! So much crap to read through, so much to internalise, so much to assimilate, so much to LEARN and revise.
You complete one set and two to three sets just appear out of nowhere and you go 'shit, there's still more to this biochemistry crap?!?!??!!'

This is really going to take forever. Problem is I don't have 'forever' and honestly, I wouldn't even give my 'forever' to something so innately stupid, irritating and mind-numbingly dull like biochem.
Its so dry that a tiny spark could burn down the whole damn field of Biochemistry. I'm really quite distraught at the idea of having to spend another day imagining non-existent chemicals interacting with one another.
Some please give me a shot of I dunno, Novocaine or something and just let me sleep. Or I might really just pull all my hair out.

Just another 5 more days. Hang in there, hang in there, hang in there...

I just took a look at the notes for Purine and Pyrimidine metabolism, and just couldn't stand it anymore. So I came back here to escape from having to face that nightmare.

Oh god. Its so hard to study Biochemistry. Seriously. Its not like there's something remotely interesting to read about. I know Physio can be complex and Anatomy can be a hell lot of memory work, but at least those 2 tracks are interesting. Its like reading an extremely long novel that just wouldn't end, but at least you are having some amount of fun in the process.
Whereas studying for Biochemistry, is like reading some Coxster dictionary of Unnecessary information, its never-ending and oh so dull.

I think I will just get rid of nucleotide metabolism today, and just not touch any more biochemistry, and not touch those stupid chapters on proteins and enzymes and what not.
I've had it with biochemistry. I think I should play some AOE3 tonight. I need a break, and I think burning down villages with whole armies of British Redcoat Musketeers would be the perfect way to unwind.

Oh a brighter note, I'm gonna be eating home-cooked Japanese Soba today!
Japanese cold noodles! Gosh I love my Japanese food. I miss eating all those really expensive Japanese Teppanyaki buffet things, where I would just gorge myself on endless sashimi, Kobe beef slices, Pregnant fish, and oh delicious teapot soup.
Too bad Mom told me that the restaurant that she used to bring us to has already closed down quite some time ago, and I couldn't even go and eat some kind of a farewell meal. I think I shall go gorge myself with Japanese food during the 5 day fun fest immediately after CAs.

Oh yeah, my Dad's going nuts about finding some financial planner or some bank to invest his CPF in. Everyday, I have to endure him asking me questions about Profits and Dividends and Interest and stuff.
And when I keep reminding him that I'm in Medicine and no where near these kind of stuff now, he always reminds me about the fact that I used to take the Economics 'S' paper. And that always shuts me up.
Honestly, I sorta miss my Economics, especially all that has to do with Fiscal and Monetary policy. Hoho. Macroeconomics.

Its just that these days, we're all so caught up with being in medicine, so much so that it seems we have all been in this since forever.
When the truth is, we've only been in Medicine for less than 8 months or so. But we forget that there's a world around you that isn't built on Medicine, and that we used to be from that world.
Hmmmm.

I shall aim to complete Nucleotide metabolism ASAP and take a mighty long break before I decide what to do next.
