Hi Hyemin!! Thanks for dropping by and reading! The green thing’s my pager. Doctors carry pagers around – and get bleeped when someone wants to find them, ranging from the emergency events to the moooost mundane of all!

I forgot I did take a year off in between, after I got my two-year degree (yeah, related degree, no thanks indeed, but it's done :P). So four years, plus the two I'll be getting and my fellowship. That's really not that much longer. It's just felt like forever.

I don't mind being a student, but I am tired of the constant stress and pressure and the time restraint. I like to travel and wander a bit and being stuck to a school schedule isn't fun anymore. But oh well. It'll be over soon enough and then I'll probably miss it, haha.

So are you moving to a place very far or just another hospital in the area...?

One year already!!!

Reading your journals is like watching you grow from a medical school student to a doctor.

Where are you leaving for? Tauranga?

Wish you all the best in 2009! Happy New Year!

was in university for 6 years in total – could have made it longer by doing another related degree like some did (no thanks). seems like you’ll be in school for longer than i was haha.

i didn’t mind being a student that long – it was fun and all – but i *was* getting quite annoyed and tired by the exams one after another!!

Ah, no, but it may say something about your patients, hehe. :)

Unfortunately, I still have two years for my doctorate or masters (I haven't decided) and then a year of fellowship yet and then the big national exam.

I have so far been in school five years, and have three years left. I will apparently never leave. :P

Were you in school very long?

all the best for you too!! when are you becoming a full-fledged speech-language pathologist??

I miss the time we hang around in the ward. Seriously, it’s hang around. Only with you I feel so relax in the hospital. Thanks for the company.
Can you send me the photo taken in Basketball court please… I like the photo of your pager. Chen
