the long ride

just had my ENT exam yesterday. i dont know why many people said that ENT is a crappy subject and we can just breeze through it. which was why i relaxed for my first week then when exam was approaching i realized that i have a whole lot of stuff to study - so screw all the people who said ENT is just peanut. People make a speciality out of that subject and i felt really good that i took it seriously.

for ENT as well as my next rotation, Neurology is at the Shumachka Regional Hospital which means i must take that loooonnngggg ride with either bus no 17 or 2 or use the back way with another bus. And that loooonnngggg ride is also packed all the way. Yesterday after i did my exam about 11am, i got on the bus no 2. it was insanely packed with people who went to the hospital for consultation. Looking around just makes my heart drop a little. The very old grannies and grandpas, one even had one eye bandaged, most have walking sticks - and they all had to take the bus. it is a very normal thing for us here, i've seen that so many time but i just can't help thinking - they have no kids? their kids are busy? or they just couldn't care less?
i mean, i would have never let my mum and dad go through a situation like that. it will just break my heart.

but then again - c'est la vie

today my group is having Russian class. a saturday. back to first year with that russian intensive class. oh wud the heck.
