okay my hand is actually shaking

[fahye]

The stress is pretty high right now, it's true, but there's also this: in three days I will have finished my first year of medical school! Provided I pass my exams. I AM GOING TO PASS MY EXAMS. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

Which is pretty exciting. The year has gone by in a flash.

After my last exam I'm going out for yum cha with friends, and then frantically packing up my college room, and then going to the cohort party. And then on the weekend, Mum arrives and we move me back to Canberra! So I've decided to do my own personal celebration tomorrow, in the form of a shopping trip between cramming sessions.

And I'm talkin', like, irregular choice frivolous, lady. XD

Portmans has some lovely summer stuff this year; do that. Pretty dresses FTW.

I have SO LITTLE chance to wear improbable heels, so that's probably out, but I would like some new summery sandal things that are not black.

That isn't frivolous ... :(

[fahye.livejournal.com]

It's something I don't absolutely NEED...but want. Frivolous! Well. Frivolous considering my budget.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Boo! Do not say frivolous if you mean frivolous-within-reason. 'cos in that case I think DVDs or books would be better!

I have no idea at all if Princess Tutu is out here on DVD but if it is, I might just take Tris' advice.

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

oooh Princess Tutu is an awesome idea!

Jewellry! Something fabulous, that can be worn with anything, like a giant statement necklace that says: FEAR ME. I passed my exams. ;)

But that's just me.

And you know what you really need? You need me to write you a drabble. Hit me with a BSG/HP/even DN pairing/prompt/pic/vibe/theme whatever. I'll shake something out in celebration of your exam awesomeness.

Yeah, I'm only down for frivolous if you see them and go, "OOH! But when would I ever wear them?"

It's very important that frivolity is done right.

Hi! Here from foreverdirt to say GOOD LUCK because your exams will be over and then you have whole months in which to forget that anatomy crap (and relearn it in 5 years if you want to be a surgeon). You make me a tad nostalgic in a horrified way for my med school days, but it is definitely worth it at the end.
And my tip? Not hospital clothes, because some horrible person will bleed or vomit on them, making you sad! Awesome jewellery is my tip.

YOUR TINY TEXT DOES NOT FOOL ME. Death Note yes yes yes please you are a marvel of a human being. Anything Light/L with your particular brand of sublimely creepy imagery would be perfect. If you want more of a prompt...champagne.

(Also! We should work out at least vaguely when & where I can meet you in London, because I am not sure how easy I will be to get in touch with once I actually leave the country.)

*laughs* Thank you! Sadly, I still have to learn abdominal and pelvic anatomy, and then I think we have a full-body exam at the end of next year, so I can't wipe it from my memory just yet.

I don't think they let patients bleed on lowly second-year medical students, but hmmm. Good point.

I don't know if forcing myself into that kind of frivolity would be worth the PAIN IN MY PRACTICAL SOUL.

Srs? Sydney uni sounds more hardcore than Melbourne!!! Never fear, there are some serious dufuses who have passed med school, and even passed anatomy exams!

True, you probably won't get bled on in second year (unless you cannulate an artery, which I've seen done), but vomit goes a long way. Once while observing a surgery, I got pus from the abdomen on me halfway across the room. I changed and came back, only to get hit with projectile sputum during extubation!! Thank god for scrubs say I!

Well, this year Sydney decided to TRIPLE the amount of anatomy in the course. LUCKY US.
