Wie geht es dir?

Nicht gut... Und dir?

It's been some tough (actually you know, that's an understatement) weeks.

My first test (Neuroanatomy) on Monday was a complete screw-up. I was so despondent after it that I couldn't bear to be around anyone, especially since all my classmates were excitedly discussing about their answers... The only thing that I could think about then was why I chose to put myself through all this studying and tests again. I've never been good at this. Sigh. It's not that I didn't study for it, I did. But maybe not the right things or hard enough. Sigh. Anyway that's over. I guess all I can say is I will try my best to fare better the next time. I just got my results today. I barely managed to scrape through. 50. Phew. Sigh. I can't decide whether to feel relieved that I passed or sad that I did so badly for my 1st test.

Friends (and my dear 'lil sis) back home were all trying to comfort me with 'Don't worry too much, you just need time to get back into the studying mode again...' Thanks guys! I want so much to believe that! But all my classmates are either really smart or scarily hardworking, constantly studying! Whereas I read slowly and also spend quite a bit of time stoning in between. Big sigh... :'(
