i said goodbye to geng last year, i think. still kinda pangs sometimes.

how do you write a normal personal post that reads like a poem or passage out of a book? it's such a gift, the way with language that you have.

i feel you about med school: i have friends who are doctors in training as well and they look like the living dead. hang in there.

helen! it's been such a long time, i'm really happy to hear from you! <3 how've you been?

aww, thanks so much -- i guess i had a load of pent-up emotions to get out of my system!! and i found somewhere to discharge my verbal diarrhoea haha ;) tbh i haven't been keeping up to date with lj happenings for a while now, and it feels quite strange to be back (i've missed it).

ahhh, med school is both incredible and hugely frustrating -- 'keen' is the new nerdy, and it's a positive derogatory term (used by those who are secretly v jealous, like me)

i'm good :) slogging away at work as usual but that's not necessarily a complaint. it was nice to see you update cos i've lost touch with so many people from lj, seeing as how lj isn't the center of blogging anymore. people have moved on to tumblr and whatnot, but the tumblr community isn't half as satisfying.

how many more years do you have to go?

i heard people were moving off lj to dreamwidth so i gave that a spin.. turns out the place is either deserted, or i haven't been looking in the right places!

i'm glad to hear you're well! keeping busy is always a good thing, right? ;)

4 more after this one; we get a taste of the clinical side from yr3 -- which means real patients in real hospitals instead of harmless virtual ones on ppt presentations eeeeek!
