A long time since returning to this blog...

in between many things have happened, some interesting, some less so, some has become routine....

During this week, three major events happened,
1) 1st general body meeting for the men's hostelites

2) My 1st dessection of the palm

3) Christmas Choir

The GB (general body meeting) was a totally new experience...though a tiresome one at the same time...
it is where al the decisions and accountings for the hostel is made and presented and voted for...
as freshers, we have to attend 5 GB's to obtain our voting rights...

so we basically sat through GB, from 9pm-2am... and listen to them discuss about the coming prime event : Men Hostel Day...
Every year there will be a project and everyone (mainly the freshers) will have to work on it...
we usually will reconstruct some famous structures of the world (last year was London bridge)...
then there will be lots of decorating in the hostel and a play an all...

And the whole project is like some top secret file.. and no one is supposed to leak anything out... that goes for women hostel day also, which would be held 1 week prior to men's hostel day... which wold naturally mean the strong desire of both sexes to outdo the other...

So i'm not disclosing any details except that i'm happy that i'm forced to exercise everyday in manual labor... which i hope will help me develop some muscle by the end of it...

its tiring though, and it ends up not having quite enough time for studies : i.e. the schedule for the past few days are classes from 8-5, work on the project from 6.30-8.30, hostel GB from 9-2...

i try to slip in some minutes of study between intervals, and even stayed up till 3 to study a bit more before sleeping.... well getting up the next day proves to be a problem...
I was never so glad that Sabbath came this week... a break from this viscous cycle..

but then again, this is part of hostel life that i will have to learn to love (afterall, one won't get as much sleep either when one is doing houseman ship...)


dissection this week was great!! i thoroughly enjoyed the palmar region... all the fine nerves and arteries, and not to mention the 20 odd muscles in the hand..
it motivated me to study lots before coming to the dissection hall too..coz when one is dissecting, you have to know what you are looking for... :)..hopefully, i get to dissect the back of the hand too....

really enjoyed my sabbath.. apart from getting enough sleep the previous night and a break from the routine, it rained and refreshed the whole of Vellore...
there were 3 baptisms this week and met three PK who came with their dad who was officiating the baptism..
they were travelling alot it seems and now they have been two years in Lebanon .. just imagine, Lebanon.. the Mediterranean, masked women, sand, army tanks, Jordan...

then we started choir practice... for the christmas program... all i can say is that indians are good singers, and Jiwan is a wonderful conductor...!!

ok.. i'm stopping here... the guys have come to my room and it'll be a long gassing session coming up.. (don't worry, i've been studying in the morning)
