At world’s end

I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean today. Allow me to explain – I actually have 4 days of holiday. Mmhm. 4 days with nothing to do whatsoever (that is if you discount the whole planning elective, applying for job, starting year 6 essay and learning).

But yes, no imminent exam looming over my head. For the past year I have had exams that count directly towards my ranking and hence the quality of job I get every 8 weeks and it has been a loooooong process. Now I have a whole 6 months without exams that count towards finals. Of course then it is finals themselves, and then I actually have to be a doctor and somehow figure out how to cure people, but for 4 whole days I have nothing to do.

So I slept till past 9am (who ever would have thought it), then went to see Pirates of the Caribbean, which I really enjoyed just because it’s really cleanly filmed (I know what I mean even if no-one else does).

Then this evening I actually went out to socialise for the first time in I think literally 4 months. Since it is now the end of 5th year of the medical degree and starting 6th year next weeks, it means changing to a different group from the one we had this past year, so it was a kind of goodbye drinks. It was nice, we sat outside for a bit chatting, then moved inside, and once people started to leave I decided not to outstay my welcome, but it was all very jolly and everyone seemed to be finding me really funny, and from somewhere I suddenly had loads to say and wanted everyone to be looking at me and listening to everything I had to say, so yeah, I had a really nice time.

I am so amaing right now, I love myself to pieces. I haven’t eaten anything in over 24 hours, I think it’s actually 33 hours now since I ate any food. I did drink a little Baileys and maybe a quarter of a bottle of wine tonight though, so that’s a fair number of calories, but obviously it was a special occasion and that wont be repeated, plus the party was a pretty long cycle away, plus I was wearing a little skirt and top and it was pretty cold outside, so that must all of helped in the battle against the fat.

I just have a good feeling about it this time, I think I’m going to do well. Normally I run out of energy really early on and end up flagging and then eating because I barely have the strength to walk, but this time I’m strong and I have the energy to just keep going. I’m not even remotely tired right now and have energy to spare.

I’m kinda tempted to do some stuff tomorrow that I wouldn’t normally do, but since I have the time off it just sounds like fun. Like maybe get on a bus to London without any money or anything with me and just wander and see where I end up, or maybe meet a random guy and just see what happens, or just something a bit different. I love feeling like this. I’m completely invincible, I could do anything and nothing bad would happen. When I was cycling back tonight I totally felt like I was flying and I could dodge between the cars with no chance I’d get hurt. I even left my trusty cycle helmet behind for once.

So much energy.
