boredom post 1

hmm....5 yrs in med school in the tiniest nation in the south east asian seas.....and all i've got to say for it is........ utter boredom. sometimes i really wonder, is it jes me or is life jes getting a tad bit too routine. i dun mean that routine is neccessarily a bad thing, its jes that sometimes it makes you wonder if there is more to life than the "routine" lives we lead.
for me, a routine day starts at 5.30 to 6 am (and i AM a so-called university student). then off to the hospital to start the day. sometimes it takes an hour to reach, sometimes less, but always i wonder as i sit (or more likely to stand in the public transport), "is this gonna be my life for the next 40-50 yrs till i am about to retire"...(until which the gov will then raise the retirement age again, then i am forced to work for mebbe another 5-10 yrs or so, or till when i finally die of overworking, in which i'll prob haf to type out discharge summaries from 6 foot under). it scares me sometimes, figuring that i'm leading myself into a trap, sorta like the rat-race in the business world, but not quite like it. i enjoy other things in life, true that i still like to hang "OUT", but if i'm dead tired whenever i haf free time, i'd prefer to sleep "IN". am i cutting myself too short by proclaiming that i'll prob never ever forever lead the life i once dreamt of when i was young .... and by that i dun mean marrying the prince next door and living a lavish tai tai -like lifestyle. its more or else the dream to travel to different places, meeting new people (from different countries, dammit, not different hospitals) and mebbe slaying a few dragons here & there (too much D&D). hmm....well....i'll most prob .....bleep..bleep...bleep.....(to continue in the next post)
anyways, got a test tomolo but still slacking till the next episode of AMI5 coming soon in a few minutes time. man, i wish i got Cowell's job...
