Lugubrious...

yes, today was indeed a very lugubrious day. For those of you that aren't up to speed on your vocabulary, lugubrious means mournful, dismal, or gloomy, especially to an exaggerated or ludicrous degree (I would like to thank www.dictionary.com for that wonderful definition). I got up this morning, already late for my (only) morning lecture. My eyes were quite sore (damn corneal ulcers!) and I had no energy to face the day when my eyes were hurting really badly. I made it to uni and Dave texted me and told me that the lecture wasn't worth it. I went in and then out again, realising that I should have heeded his words in the very beginning. Today was my hello day - 9 hours of straight lectures, expert tutorials, and practicals. I wore my sunglasses the entire day (even inside) because my eyes just weren't liking the bright and sunny weather. The pain got to an unbearable point and I decided to skip my evidence-based medicine tutorial (I got into an argument with the professor the first time - he is my 'black list' as Dave likes to call it).

I went grocery shopping (yes, it was very important because I was living off of museli, a few tomatos, Pacific Fruit cordial, and my whey protein powder) and got me enough food to cook for the next two weeks! FUN FUN. But soon after the novelty wore off and I was back to being lugubrious. I went home and tried to go over the missed lecture and looking over my anatomy of the abdomen but my eyes just didn't want to. I took a much needed nap and headed off to Pete's place for a study group session - which turned out to be a waste of time (at least for me). I have gotten behind on Week 6 (stomach/small intestines/colon) and this is week 7 (which is a continuation of the gastrointestinal tract and looking at whatever part of the abdomen we haven't covered). Tomorrow, I only have a clinical communications skill session at Princess Alexandria Hospital. Hopefully, I will be able to play a kick ass game of catch up!

So, some of my readers want to know more about my friends here. I don't mind putting up mindless drivel about them on here (perhaps I should ask their permission before I do that...nah, that wouldn't make it as fun). But who to start with?? :) A character sketch of all my mates...that will be quite interesting. That will be an ongoing project, that's for sure.

Okay, it's bedtime. I just wish that this throbbing pain in my left eye will just go away. Where is a melon baller when you need one! I have an appointment with an optometrist tomorrow afternoon but I have a very strong feeling that I am just going to be referred to another specialist that will be in the middle of buttfucknowhere. :)
