Tons of things have been happening around here and I've been so bogged down with work. I still am, actually, but I'm in a weird mood and I don't feel like doing anything other than curl up in my bed and watch Scrubs, which I can't do because I have so much work. And also because it hasn't loaded yet. :)

So, firstly, I'm going to Germany! Sshh, don't tell my parents (or any other relative, rly). I'll be off to Hamburg for a student-style three-days-three-nights (it's possible, yis) of budget-breaking bliss. We have no idea what we're going to do yet, and we have yet to book the hostel, but we just finalised it today and we've booked the flight tickets (my first budget flight! and I had to pay 20 quid extra because I'm Singaporean - long story, will explain one day). I'll update you guys on how that goes. We're going from the 18th - 21st of February, during my reading week, right after those exams which I should really be studying for after I finish this godforsaken essay which I am already 1000 words over for. Anyone want to help me slash words down left and right?

Secondly, I have a job! Yeah, I told you shit's been happening. I got it last week, started my first day of work yesterday and I love it. It's a low-paying highly-intensive job... behind the bar! That's right, this little whore is a bartender, people. I'm pulling pints at one of the student bars - the one where usually medics hang out at, which is hilarious, considering I myself am usually too scared to go - but I'm really glad for it. It's fun (but only when the work gets tough, otherwise it's boring), I get to meet people randomly (which is great for my self-esteem) and money is money as opposed to holding out for a job that pays more. And the work is really, really flexible, which means that as long as there are slots available, I can pick up three shifts this week and none the next. Perfect for a medical student without a fixed timetable like me! :)

I would love to say thirdly, but I don't think there's anything that could top that unless I announce my marriage. I miss you guys loads whenever I get a breather from being up to my ears in work. Have I mentioned how much work I have? It's depressing, but I'll catch up over this weekend if I can finish my goddamned fucking essay by Thursday. I'm 70% done but I still have to cut down 1000 words. I know, I mentioned this, but I'm worried whether I can. Sigh.

Oh, and I got my housemates for next year. We don't have a house or anything yet, but I'm staying with all girls (hopefully all the guys stay nearby so we can call them if we get traumatized by a rat) - five of us in total, and some people that are really, really awesome. :)

Hope that's update enough for all of you. I'm trying to save as much money as I can (especially for Germany!), so I'm not texting/calling anyone unnecessarily. So I'll talk to you guys online - nudge me if I'm online and if I'm actually at my computer I'll talk no matter how busy I am. :D
