It has been a week since our return from vacation. Manipal remains the same, with even heavier workload in Block III. It's only the first week and I already find some of the subjects difficult to cope with. Mostly because I'm not used to some lecturers' ways of teaching. Or maybe it's post-holiday syndrome. With the mentor-student project due this block, I think I'll have an even harder time getting through this block. Lol.
Got to know our previous block results this Monday. Very satisfied with mine. I thought I flunked Oral Biology and Anatomy spotters, but by God's grace they turned out quite good. Glad that papa mama are happy with my results. (:
Totally hate the fact that I need to go to the library in the first week back. Didn't want to activate the 'nerd' mode so soon. But what to do? Lotsa things to do, too little time.

This week has been eventful. Got to eat my favourite cabbage in Manipal Canteen (on our 2nd day back I think). Had a 'lil farewell dinner at 7Bees for Jasmine on Wednesday with Chien Ying and Christine. Had a nice little chat that night (: A 'lil birthday surprise for Esther the leap year baby in her room before that. Celebrated Amanda's birthday at Hideout on Thursday and Chris's goodbye to crutches at Manipal Canteen again on Friday. :) Wow, now only I realized that we had so much to celebrate. Heh.
Five of us shared a court during our usual Friday badminton. Nice spending time playing badminton with 'family'. If only Peggy was there. :) Played against two locals too. Quite fun actually. (:
Gonna start a new week soon enough. Week 2 of Block III, please be good to me :)
Happy birthday cheerful sis! (:
My family in Manipal (:
