Easter revelation

it's Easter break now and Melbournites sure are making a HUGE deal out of it, what with the pounds-heavy choc eggs and choc bunnies... and Koko Black's window display look absolutely delicious, literally and metaphorically....

and Easter break means that i have succeeded in going through the first half of Semester 1 and it's one long awaited break... i could go on and on moaning about the ever increasing workload and information that my poor brain needs to process but I WILL NOT... after all, i did choose this course out of interest and heck, it IS interesting...

"Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a changing fortune in the changing fortunes of time...." - Desiderata...
(for those who have not read Desiderata, it is the most incredible guide to life ever.... so get your copy now... my dad was the one who read it to me when i was young and i will be forever grateful to him for it.)

so yes, Easter break is only ONE WEEK so Mel's Must Do List for Easter stands thus:

1. Finish the Health Practice essay by Tues

2. Revise the whole of Anatomy and Histology lectures, despite the fact that Dr Eizenberg is a lousy lecturer except for the times he took off his layers of shirts to entertain us

3. Do my videotape interview and review it!! and get over the fact that i might look 10 pounds heavier on camera.

4. do more exercise

5. cook more exotic and complicated dishes

6. time for some SELF LOVE and SELF CARE!! eg yoga, catching up with friends....

7. prepare myself mentally for the dissection sessions we are having after Easter and pray that i dissolve into jelly the moment they lift the sheet covering the cadaver

8. SELF LOVE AND SELF CARE!! i write this twice as Term 1 was absolutely killing for anyone mentally and emotionally and physically.... i need back my streak of life.... it was slowly but surely ebbing away...

9. REFLECTION: on the days that have passed and the days that are and the days that have yet to come.... and just sit and think of anything that comes to mind...


- no more stories for Mel , just work and work -
