Deus ex Machina

Passing through unconscious states; when I awoke, I was on the highway.

Surprises

It seems like it's been forever since I last wrote here. The past months, I just didn't have much of an urge to record anything - publicly, anyway. But now I'm pretty happy with the way things are going. I feel like blogging again.

Life as a medical student is turning out to be easier than I expected. Every day I realize something new about myself. I'm constantly being surprised by the things I end up doing.

I'm beginning to enjoy our dissecting sessions, which I used to find unbearably dull and taxing. I bought my first Murakami book - a collection of short stories called After the Quake, and I found another Murakami fan in class. I'm not as restless as I used to be.

I discovered a gem of a song called If She Wants Me by Belle and Sebastian. And I discovered that it's great to just lay around in bed with the lights turned off while listening to the music of Aqualung.

I can't really think of anything else to write about, except that I'm doing all right - better than I've been in a while. I'm curious to see how long this lasts.

P.S. There's something wrong with my layout, but I don't have the time to fix it. I'll probably make a new one anyway during the term break. If anyone has any ideas on how to make the text move up, please let me know.
