Yup, so it's Sunday and week 4 at uni has ended.

I guess the most important thing for school this week was that our individual assignment was due. For College A and B it was due on Thursday (includes me), while College C and D had theirs due on Friday.

I'm glad I wasn't one of those people who might have put it off til the last minute and then slogged the entire night, because I wouldn't have been able to do that! I need sleep. (no disrespect to such people, though!)

And so even on Wednesday night when we had supper crawl, I was more concerned about doing my laundry than my assignment, because it was finished already, after receiving peer feedback on Tuesday. Many thanks to my oldie who gave me excellent feedback prior to that!

Bible study on Friday was at Janelle's home, where we celebrated Ade's birthday, with lots of fruits, weetbix and popiah! We played a bit of Balderdash, had good food, and studied the parable of the rich fool and stuff.

We did Revelation 4 in church today, and the image of what the throne in heaven must look like is utterly brilliant and amazing. I wish I could have seen what it was like! God is holy indeed.

On a side-note, I encountered some fellow 1st year medicine students who find the current curriculum (Foundations) to be boring because they're merely being taught and not really using their critical thinking. Somehow they're not really fascinated by how what we're learning is happening right now in their bodies.

And they're probably not sure if they've made the right choice getting into medicine. Meanwhile I also know people who want to get into medicine but didn't make it (just like me for NUS!) and I find it just sad that places get taken up by people who aren't that keen, or perhaps didn't think it through properly before choosing this pathway, and by doing so deprived others of a place.

I guess not everyone knows exactly what they want to do or study or be when they grow up. And realistically speaking the university will try to pick the best students as it sees fit. That's life for you.
