Update

I can't believe it's August already. It feels like October to me because it is so cold here in Australia. I just don't understand how freakin' cold 15C feels when I'm used to -15C weather. What has happened to me? Neooooo.

Semester 2 started a month ago, and it has been pretty relaxing, at least compared to last semester. I feel like this is the calm before the storm. We're doing more preclinical stuff (and less OSF ^^) so I'm enjoying that very much even though some days I just want to crawl up in a fetal position. My dummy (Mr. Crooks) is the best patient I will ever have so I guess I shouldn't complain.

I think I'm getting used to Australia now. I'm not as homesick as before and am less of an emotional wreck. Or maybe I'm just getting better at suppressing things? Or processing things? Hopefully the latter... At any rate, I'm happier than I was a few months ago, and that in itself is a stepping stone.

According to current events, it's 2012 Olympics. Even with technology, I still feel like I live under a rock. Should I be concerned about my own indifference and apathy towards the world's most anticipated event? Tell me I'm not the only one? (._.)
