I wonder how people do it..how do they remain strong though things that you can't explain happen to you or your loved ones. I found out today during an SGS discussion that one of my classmates' dad has cancer..and the thing is, he's normally so jovial, so happy & so optimistic that I would never have guessed..it was really nice and brave of him to share his experience with us. The class was relatively subdued after hearing his story..I just really admire him for holding his life together so well despite all thats happened in his life. He just seems to excel in everything he does..I wonder how I would have dealt with it if put in a situation such as his.

Sometimes I think I turn to work as an escape from life..maybe thats what people do..busy themselves with other things to try to forget. But some things you're just unable to put out of your mind..anyway it's people like my classmate who make me realise that I really can't take anything in my life for granted. Anything can happen. And compared to so many people in the world, I'm so very blessed. So why do I get depressed about life at times? I shouldn't:) Or else maybe God will really decide to give me something to be depressed about.

anyway its been a looong day...9-5 with a one hour break...including a 4-hour SGS!haha yeah but wasn't too bad I guess. Everybody brought food..sally made a huge tin of fairy bread, james and kiran brought gummies and other stuff high in sugar to keep us awake, and even mike contributed with his tiny packet of apricots:) haha and gerard was showing me his works of art..apparantly he listens to opera music and writes his own lyrics to them!and his lyrics are FUNNY:) And they match up with the opera so well:) He just never ceases to surprise me. Sometimes I sit quietly in class and marvel at the talents of all my classmates..I think to myself that they're all gonna make really good doctors someday..and I feel inadequate in comparison to them at times. haha but not inadequate in a bad way..just that I really think they're all so smart and multitalented.

anyway I'm obviously not gonna get much work done tonight..sigh. think I need a bath.
