The Roommate

The very first thought that came to me this morning as I woke up was, "I need to get a life." I think the reason for that is due to my long list of stuffs to do which relates to my obtaining the degree in a few years time (inshaAllah).

Anyway, my dad had wanted me to become a doctor since as long as I can remember. But enough about that. 

So, yesterday, I was feeling so tired halfway through finishing my case report for Endocrinology block so I lie down for a bit, wanting to get a few shut eyes. I was woken up by the sound of someone talking and when I groggily looked up, I saw one of the Student's Affairs Office people standing at my doorway. The fuss was that someone will be 'joining' me soon in my room since I have no roommate since last end of May. 

I was still rendered quite traumatic after the last roommate and I was hoping to enjoy some sweet time alone at least for a month (I will explain this) but then of course, I am totally deluding myself if that were to happen since as long as there is money to be paid to the Student's Affairs office, a roommate to come at almost the end of the academic year is not impossible at all.

She told me that the new roommate will come later and I was really annoyed by this very short notice I almost wanted to throw a pillow at the door while yelling "Why don't you just tell me next year?!" but of course I did not do that. I guess I was just grumpy to wake up to such news. 

After the 'henchman' left, I was so furious so I did what any normal people would when they're angry : 

Sew.

I have a couple of pants that I had just altered a few days ago and I was putting the sewing aside to make room for my other top priority activities. I'm too short so I had to cut off the legs and sew it back myself. Anyway, the good thing is I've now completed fixing the only two pants(wait, make that five) that I have, yay! alhamdulillah. I guess I was sewing real 'fast and furious'. 

Ok, that's lame. I have to admit making a movie reference is so overrated these days.

Anyway, my second year will only end this August so I actually have a few months left to stay in my hostel but my husband will come to HUSM to do his second round of electives at the Neuroscience department for a month so we're going to live together during that time period. I have already found a room to rent, thanks to my naqibah for telling me about it, and so I decided to leave hostel life once and for all since I am so sick of the flawed maintenance. 

My husband told me about how his university(Newcastle University of Medicine) tried their hardest to satisfy their students' needs since one of the UK's terms for giving accreditation or something of that sort is that the students must give a good feedback on their services so since we all know some students are so fussy(most of them are paying on their own anyway), so I am guessing it will be really hard for them because we all know that we can't please all of them. But comparing to my university, which is obviously a semi-government, I have to say I would figuratively kill to get that kind of efficiency. 

By the way, I am going to have my last exam for second year starting on the 22nd next month. Now excuse me while I get back to drinking my Earl Grey while revising for my clinical teaching which will start at 1000 today.
