When life gives you shit.


As any mediocre medical student like myself would know, medical school is not the time for you to be lazy.

Even if you're hard working, if you get a super strict examiner you won't do so well. Not as good as you'd thought. If luck just isn't on your side, it's just not meant to be.

Even if you know all the answers, when it's being questioned and you blank out, you can't do anything about it but move on.

You may face failures more than any other times in your first 20 years of life! You would feel useless, worthless and the worst - suicidal.

Being a girl, I don't get away it without overthinking things and making myself uber depressed. Having a fever before all this crap started did not make things any easier.
So when life gives me shit, here is what I do.

1) I get home, switch my iPod on a sad song.
2) Bawl like a lost kitten for 15mins.
3) Turn the volume up on - 'Fuck You' by Cee Lo
4) Bawl harder for another 15mins.
5) Talk to Edward and really howl because he can't comfort even a chair.
6) Get up, wash my face and eat a good meal.
7) Stop by at 7 eleven for rainbow Paddle pop ice-cream.
8) Come home and blog about it.

Yeah, Medicine I may not be the top student now. I may never be one.
I will still keep on climbing the ladder even if you're hurling shit at me.
I will reach the top. I will still move on from this. I will step forward.
You give me shit, I'll make lemons out of it!!

I may not be smart, or pretty, or talented. You know what I got?
Yea you heard me. I got Faith. I got perseverence. I got the will.
I still have the fight in me.

Plus, I got Yue Keng.
Now what 'choo gonna do about it?

Elisha Fucking K~!
