Dissection

Dissection was amazing. We dissected the arm of a 77 year old man. It was pretty weird to see a dead body, and then cut him open, but luckily we had a really good guy, with very nice veins. Oh, no blogging yesterday as the whole university's internet was apparently down. But it's better today. Ahh I have so much work to catch up with already.

FAB

The Cambridge medical course is possibly the coolest thing ever. However, it's also the busiest thing ever too. We had lectures pretty much all day. Bought my dissection kit today! So excited about dissection tomorrow morning. Caius Jazz in the evening - totally immense.
Need. To. Read.
Oh, did a little touristing today:

Poke

This morning, very early on, I had an awful experience with Occupational Health and their needles. My veins were very shy, and so my skin got quite a good stabbing. The Freshers' fair was immense. I think I will be receiving 'too much junk' for life now. Nevertheless, it was fun, and full of freebies!
Later, I went to the Caius freshers fair, which was admittedly somewhat less impressive, but cool all the same. Following this, I registered with the GP, sorted out Student Finance, and then met for an introductory supervision with one of my supervisors.

Matriculation

Being a tourist attraction, early morning, is not too fun. We dressed up in our 'cloaks' and had our matriculation photo taken. That was basically standing/queuing in the rain for about 3 hours. Afterwards we matriculated. Woohoo! In the afternoon, I had a meeting with both my tutor and my Director of Studies, and then drinks with the medical supervisors, and then my first formal hall. Candlelit dinner, with Stephen Hawking. More woohoo!

G&C

College family brunch this morning, oh and also met my next door neighbour. Last night was really cool, and tonight was great too. Dinner wasn't as bad as I was expecting, oh and I bought my gown today. So much to do!!!

University

I'm leaving for Cambridge today. Uh oh... I think I'm all packed-ish. Not everything will fit in the car. Ahh I guess they'll just have to leave me out. Um, internet in my room will take a little while to sort out, if sort out-able, hence early blog. I'm one step closer to epic failure. Great.
I miss home already.

Pack!

This morning, I got up at 11am. After packing for 2 hours, I got tired again and slept at at 1pm. The bags under my eyes come back to visit. Um, I'm absolutely petrified about going to university.
Conversation with Layl:
Cheng: "Omg... We're going to university tomorrow. Wtf..."
Layl: "Oh shit"
I hope she doesn't sue me for copyright infringement by posting this!
I think I'm pretty much all packed. I will miss my room though, and my mini-collection of books, which no longer fits on these shelves anyway. Recommended reads from my "library" ~
Non-fiction: "First Book of Science"
Fiction: Oh dear... "Harry Potter(s)" are my only fiction books on these shelves. Unless you count the "Holy Bible"?

*Please don't smite me... Not just yet anyway!*

Anyway, enough rambling. I've got some serious growing up to do.
