I've been having some fairly odd dreams lately...and I don't mean odd in content. The dreams themselves seem to be perfectly nice dreams. But lately I just feel like I'm actually living in my dreams...I'm not sure how to describe it. I sorta feel like I'm really emotionally connected to them, like when really good things happen I feel all happy inside and I'll wake up happy and stuff. They just feel so realistic. Well...I don't usually feel in my dreams that's why its odd for me. Does that happen to anyone else?

I had a dream one night where I met someone that I've never met before and I got to know them and stuff...it was so weird cuz I've never really dreamt of people I never met before. I still remember what he looks like quite clearly and he seemed fairly easy to get along with. Odd...

Oh! I don't have to go to Uni today! It's a miracle =O

Our lecturers have workshops today and we apparently had a 2 hr class this morning from 8-10 a.m. but since our lecturers are so wonderful and negotiable, we got that lecture moved to tomorrow 10-12 instead =] As such, that leaves our entire day free of work and saves a good few people in our class the trouble of having to travelling up here for 1 lecture.

Although, at the same time I can't help but think that people who live here are quite lazy (and I'm sorry to say that that includes myself). Lots of people always complain about having classes at 8 a.m. and having to wake up early to get themselves ready for it. This is a very small island so, honestly, nothing is really very far. Yet, if someone lives on the other side of the island it's "soo far away". I'll admit though, that for people who have to take the bus to get to an 8 o'clock class is rather...troublesome. The buses here work in a ridiculous fashion, especially out in the country. Poor souls. Although, if one were to drive that distance it would take no longer than 40-50 mins without traffic (unless you drive super slow or something).

Oh well, I should really be spending my day wisely...studying and the works since I've got 3 exams coming up next week (oh yay -_-)

Celebrate or Contemplate?

So, this morning my cellphone gave me a little alert reminding me of a birthday today...my Grandmother's. She died in January this year. It was kinda depressing.

I was just sitting in class and I checked my cell and realised it gave me a little birthday alert. I was wondering who's birthday it was cuz I know 2 of my friends have birthdays coming up but I didn't think it was so soon. Turned out to be dear Gran's birthday...or what was supposed to be her birthday. I also found out that one of my friends lost a close family member over the weekend or today or something and I just felt so sad =( I guess I sorta had an idea of what she was going through cuz all I could think about was all the events that occurred around my Gran's death. It was really sudden and she lived in Trinidad so nobody really saw it coming. A week later, I was in Trinidad crying my heart out.

*sigh* Such is life. Dying is something that happens to everyone, but it's hard for close friends and relatives to accept sometimes. I miss my Gran =( I hadn't been thinking about her much recently until today.

After being a bit sad about today, I started to think about all the wonderful things that I could think of...all the great memories I shared with my Gran. To me, it's always nice to think about things like that...helps keep the person alive in my heart and keeps me from getting down about it.

Love you, Gran. =]

"You Will Obey...Desertion Is Not An Option"

Omg I watched Eagle Eye today and it was so very awesome! The action scenes were amazing and I just couldn't believe who was behind the whole charade. The storyline was excellent. Absolutely amazing. I sooo want this on DVD. I want "Wanted" on DVD too actually =]

I can't wait till next weekend to watch HSM 3. Something to look forward to. I don't care that I'll have 3 tests the following week..I really wanna watch it. I'm watching stuff while I can make the time! =D

Speaking of work and Uni...I can't believe its been 2 months since it started already. It's just another 4-5 weeks till exam finals and then Christmas! Ah how time flies!

My hair's getting so long! The longest it's been...ever! It's almost half-way down my back...almost a pity I'll be cutting it at the end of November. It only occurred to me that maybe I should take some pics so I'll have memories of my hair being this long...so I did. Awesome =] The pics turned out quite nice but cuz of the lighting it looked like I had red streaks or something in my hair.

So anyways I had a super nice day today. Had a friend over for lunch, watched a great movie. Got to dress up a little to go out. Haven't done any of that stuff since the weekend before Uni started. Fun fun.

I can't believe the weekend is over already. Boo =[

The Weekend Arrives!

I had a most super fun Friday evening this weekend! Such a dandy start to things =] Classes finished at 12 then me and my buddies were just liming and stuff...and I learned to do more stuff on a guitar...I'm so proud of myself =D So after our little lime I went off with some other friends to get a bit of studying done...and it was just a BIT that we really did get done between 5 and 11 pm. It was loads of fun and we went for pizza and stuff like that =]

It was such a wonderfully sunny day (sunny but surprisingly not baking hot) so I decided to take some pics of the view we get on campus. Aren't they pretty? The first one is the admin building with an ocean view and the other is a view of Bridgetown, our main "city". It's so small...and I never really realised there was so much greenery around there until just recently =O

This morning my mom told me that the drive in is supposed to be showing High School Musical 3 next week and my jaw dropped! I was sooo surprised and happy, that made my morning and now I'm all excited! I'm gonna study hard all week long and reward myself with HSM 3, yayness!!! I really wasn't expecting it to be brought out here.

This weekend is turning out to be pretty good =D I didn't even take any of my cough meds yesterday and my coughing wasn't so bad, I'm so happy for the improvement. I'd been coughing for about 4 weeks or so now! It was getting frustrating and worrisome..but I'm getting better and it's finally going away so that's another thing to add to my wonderful weekend so far =]

Come over to the Dark Side...I dare you!

Huh? What?

No clue where that came from...I swear! Honestly...I'm not psychotic or anything.

But I did have a super fun and interesting lecture today from a psychiatrist and I heard stories about people who are =)

I also learned that "antisocial" is another of the most commonly misused words in the English language.

Anti = against;
Social = society;
Antisocial = against the laws of society.

So when we say that people are "antisocial" we really mean "asocial".

A = not
Asocial = not social =]

And I also learned that SOME cases of marijuana use can somehow lead to schizophrenia in long term use =O Who knew?

Ah yes, the most interesting class of the day. I was supposed to have 2 free extra hours today before my class at 2 p.m. but that didn't quite happen since TWO lecturers decided they wanted to teach us cuz they didn't finish they're lectures before (it's not my fault that they can't keep time!) and hence I had 4 straight hours of lectures from 8 a.m. = 12 p.m.
Combine that with trying to understand about a hundred different concepts in relation to Molecular Medicine for an in-course exam tomorrow and you'll feel my exhaustion =(

I like Molecular Medicine and all...but having lectures for an entire course in a span of 3 weeks is just not right. Then having to study half the course in a week and the other half in another 2-3 weeks for in-course exams while having to study for 3 other exams in the week before the 2nd exam is just too much.

Too much I say!! Soon..my head might explode, as well as the 40 other people who are doing this Med thing. The sacrifices we have to make to become doctors...And its only the first 2 months...what's gonna happen in the next 5 years? O.o

I'll probably just go mad. Watch out.
