Wow. A blank space to write on and absolutely nothing to write about…
I guess I should start by saying hi. Hi =)
My name is Olen and I come from Philippines (btw, there is actually a country called Philippines. I did not just make it up.) In 2004, I collected my ridiculously heavy suitcase from the revolving suitcase-collector-thing at Dublin airport and got into a taxi. I was jet-lagged, I was exhausted, and I had absolutely no idea that in five short years, I would be be having heart palpitations at the mere thought of sitting the leaving cert in June 09.
Last September, I became a naturalized citizen, of Procrasti-Nation. And with that, I of course had to stop myself from doing any work that could remotely be considered studying. This ritual of abstention lasts only for a week. In theory, at least.
I had become so used to this “work ethic” that this morning, I actually exercised, when I should have been hunched up in a corner somewhere, with a biology book in one hand and a rosary on the other, willing myself to learn the Krebs cycle. Which just sound like an STD, by the way.
I’ll do better tomorrow. I hope. Otherwise, I will send myself to rehab.
p.s. just like the other bloggers, Elizabeth and Jane (wow, Pride and Prejudice much?), I’m also crossing my fingers for medicine.
Welcome Olen! I too inhabit that unfortunate land…we _will_ do better tomorrow 😀
Hello, Olen. I guess it shows how far out of the loop I am that I can’t remember what the Krebs cycle is supposed to be.
Welcome Olen!
Don’t forget Jennie, ie, ME, she too is applying for medicine.
Scaaaaaaary.
Jennie isn’t a very Pride and Prejudice name though :p I suppose Jennifer is!
Welcome Olen and good luck!
I’ll show myself the door.
(Jennie) Oh lol sorry.. you never mentioned you wanted to do med as well. Join the waiting list! =)
I did make mild reference to it in my first post!
“…my course of choice- which is medicine. I hear it’s not very nice but a spoonful of sugar helps.”
This is, however, all I’ve said on the subject. It’s alright, Jennifer forgives you.
one stupid Q , had u any english when you came over? =)
omg. i`m from the Philippines as well! 😀
