After exam resolutions

Shhhh... a customer coming.

I have been working my ass off this year, and my brain may has become macerated with all the studies cram in. Since February we have been doing your-ass-rooted-to-the-seat 9AM-5PM lecture-day 3 three times a week, and cram-it-in-your-head 10AM-5PM practical day about 2 times a week. What a hideous routine, only to halt momentarily due to a month winter break between semesters. Oh, dear I'm mentally exhausted, but the light at the end of a long abysmally dark tunnel is shining through. There are several things that I look forwards and resolute to do when this nightmarish journey is over.

- Go camping for 5 days and complete the latter half of 104km Great Ocean Hike with other vet kids
- Go surfing and enjoy the sun for a week
- Try a hand cooking quails, perfect crispy skin pork, lobsters and making macarons - black seasame and passionfruit
- Leisurely read Pathologic Basis of Veterinary Disease, The Beginner's Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize: Advice for Young Scientists by Prof Doherty whom I have seen in real life, and those long overdue books which are supposed to be read by all veterinarians, written by James Herriot
- Watch movies and go to art galleries
- Bike around the city and hunt down decent caffeine outlets
- Pamper at Daylesford
- Last but not least, enjoy mind wondering, have epistemological moments, and do more blogging

Without having anything to look forward to, I would have gone nutbag and adopted Dexter's hobbies as ways of coping. I can't wait any longer for this summer break, rejuvenate and get ready for a lecture-free clinical year starting early January next year.
