First Day Back

Today's the first day back to school. The medical school have now moved to the new medscience 1 building right in the city, so very close to the RHH. This is meant to be easier on the clinicians who will be teaching us just in case they need to suddenly go save lives.

The new medscience building is still half finished. No surprise. They told us in advance. However, only today did we realise that we have no place at all to hang out. Other then the so angulated sofa-like thing in the foyer. Classroom have glass as walls ie. everyone can see our CBL discussion and we can't goof around. The lecture theater has windows that we can look out to the streets and they can look at us too. 5 minutes into the introdution, I started to look out, count 10 cars that rolled by and picked the one that I like best. Don't think that I'm the only one doing that though, because eventually, the made the shades come down. We can still look out but not as tempted anymore. Other then that, everything is new and I like new things.

In the rare occurance like today, my class went from 9am to 1 pm. First day back benifits. So came back early and spent the rest of the day "exploring" MyLO. It's a total different layout from last year. Timetable. Totally changed. We are having more tutorials. No complains about that. There would be only one CBL per week. No complaints about that either. The catch. We are to present the case the same day as we would be having CBL. Only having clinical skill once every fortnight mean that we have less practice. That's not too good. Guess we all just need to get use to it.

Have another look at my timetable and just realise that it's pretty alright if you compare to next week with full on 9am - 5pm everyday. So, I'm going to enjoy my first week back and find some secret space just for the me and a few people to hang out and do our stuff.

That's how my first day went.
