Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

Sour grapes story parallels well when once we say, (once when we havent done well) that not all good medical students go on to become good doctors. But in all honesty, everyone wants to do well. Lets put things into perspective. When the time comes for you to adminster to people, then you handle it then. Bu for NOW, what you are called to do as medical student is to study, do well in your work.
Semester one has not been very good for me to say the least. And I definitely donot hope to adopt a sour grapes version of it. Biochemistry 59 and Anat 55, were not a pleasant shock. I studied, but towards the end. And I studied cuz I had to study. Distracted, worried, exhuasted I was but its like you give in everything. I thought atleast for anat, I could do well. But I am happy in certain ways that I came to realise soon that I need to work harder. And work efficiently. So yup. It's easy to say that studies are my priorites, but when I just go off for supper in the midst of studying, or start talking on msn, or on the phone, or stone, or start gossiping, I dont really think I am being true to my commitments!
So yeah next sem is not too far away. Hopefully, not hopefully, I WILL start the term with my best foot forward!
My motivation to study - dean's list is an inevitable part! But there are other meaningful inspirations as well! So yeah hopefully next sem I'd be able to write something like - It's good to come back from exams knowing that you've not guessed your way around!! =)
let your heart out.
