Never did I think that I'd be late for my very first lecture in BJ. But I guess that life for you. It gives you the surprise when you least expect it to come. And the worst part of it all is that I had the opportunity to hear my teacher's wonderful voice for the very first time in the form of a scolding. "Why are you late?""Ma'am , there was a lot of traffic.""So, what, we all live far and still make it on time!" There you go, first impression hopefully shouldn't be the last impression I'd ever be able to make. She taught us Anatomy( Skin and Fascia). To tell you the truth, it was really boring. Not really her fault. But the fact is that you can't really make stuff like Anatomy interesting. It's there and you can't change it. And how many jokes can you crack??? Of course, the jokes she cracked even felt old and over-used. So, sorry guys, but not the lecture I was looking forward to.
Then there was an introduction session from the Physiology and Biochemistry Department Heads and a tour of the two departments. One of the Physio Teachers really tried to make a conversation with us, but I must say, she failed terribly. Following that was lunch and then a lecture that totlally went above my head. BONES. I hate 'em. I just don't understand them at all. Even when we had them in the 11th, I put that chapter in for option. In the 12th, it was just for the practicals. So all I did was to learn 2 lines about each and then vomit it on the paper.
But today, there was no vomiting any longer. The real thing now, and I couldn't do it. Look, I can learn three new words at a time. But, when you have 15 of them told to you in a matter of an hour, in the Express train kind of way, God help you and those all around you. And some of them were actually good at it, which left me wondering why I hated those things so much.
Thankfully, there was no dissection today ( the formalin smell had already left me half dizzy in our LCD room, which co-incidently is right next to the Cold Room and the room full of formalin containers.), and we off home in peace.
Not actually, becuase I bought some books, and they are dangerous to say the least. Thick and with very small print. God help me when I start which should be tonite, in a few minutes. had to walk about a kilometre with the bag full of books to reach my mom at the hospital, where she had some patients to attend.
Moral of today:
Go by yourself, girl. Don't depend on Daddy.
Don't take the Pune traffic for granted.
Inhale formalin every day at home if thats what you have to encounter in the dissection hall. ( I was on the verge of fainting when our teacher told us to stand in the LCD Room, because of the smell. Knew medicine was tough, but this is too much for my delicate shoulders.....:-))
