i had to stay home today due to some stomach complications. i might have caught the stomach flu/virus that's reportedly going around. still, i tried to go to school to do my lab practical exam, but upon explaining to my prof that i had to miss her earlier lecture class (and seeing my flushed face as well), she said that i better go home and just have the exam on another day.

slept for 2 1/2 hours straight as soon as i got home.

i'm also thinking it might be because i didn't have enough sleep the weekend before. somehow, my body doesn't function right if i don't get enough shuteye. that, or i can blame the changing weather. its been pretty cold lately (we had snow again, in fact). tom's weather is looking better, but the following day, we're expecting a lot of showers, but with a 40 degree weather. good gosh. orrrrrr, i might really just be working too hard. this is probably my body's way of saying, relax bitch or m gonna make you sick for you to stay home! haha.. orrrr, maybe, this is God's way of making me have the time to work on my ceremonial speech. i've always believed that things happened for a reason, so maybe i am getting this extra time beforehand without me knowing that i need it.

hmm... in any case, it still looks like i must get my body mechanics down before i head to clinical. (or is it all a fruitless effort?)

i leave you guys with pictures from school (again). my 2 anatomy exams went surprisingly well, and i thank everyone who prayed for me.


more coworkers! L-R: yoko, jess, me, julie, chiang-mei


my anatomy study group! L-R: brittany, sarah, bill, me


hehe... my digital cam sure is handy. aside from taking pictures of models, i took it upon myself to practice the art of focusing a lens through A MICROSCOPE. ye, i look studid doing it, but hey, i get to bring the pics home and look at them thru my laptop. this is a shot of an ileum, and the pointer is directed between the Payer's patches, the violet part representing lymph nodules inside the part of the small intestine, and the microvilli, used for absorption of nutrients. naks.... haha!
