Winter's Star: September 2014

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Saturday, September 6, 2014. Dear readers, it is finally time for me to move on. The seasons have been changing rapidly and winter has long departed. You can catch me on my new adventures (read: introverted musings) at https:/ orangejuicecity.wordpress.com. But before that- a trip down memory lane, plus some fun facts you probably didn't know. 1 I have been recording my thoughts for as long as I can remember. 2 This blog first began at the insistence of my high school friends. And then set up a decoy blog.

Winter's Star: May 2014

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 25, 2014. There they are again- that racing heart, the difficult swallow. my constant companions. It is a cold and grey morning. my bed is very enticing. I put on my fuzzy socks and climb into bed with my laptop. Years ago, i would have squealed with delight- it is a Sunday and I can do whatever I like all day. Yes, and today i want to study all day.

Winter's Star: November 2013

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 2, 2013. Yesterday, after my second day of work in rural Australia, I found myself sneaking back in to the hospital doctors' common room to book my flight back home. I don't have internet at home, or a printer. My friend was on call, lying on the couch and watching television. I was a little embarrassed. Day 2 and already I'm booking my flight home for next weekend? The prices had risen, of course, but that didn't deter me either. Posted by Genuinely Superficial xX. Beijing final week ...

Winter's Star: October 2012

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 28, 2012. Some reflections on the past term:. I still don't know what I want to do in life. After three surgical terms and six years of wanting to be a surgeon, I am tempted by physician training (and lots more study). I would often hear other people asking each other what discipline they wanted to specialise in, but here I am unable to even decide between medicine and surgery. It is important to be passionate about your job. It is important to socialise with your colleagues. Medicine and...

Winter's Star: April 2014

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 26, 2014. Do what you love. As a first year trainee, I have received a lot of advice- all of it from people more senior (and probably wiser) than me. A lot of it is conflicting- i should be doing more/less procedural work. i should have started studying in july last year vs i should take a break or i'll burn out. i should/shouldn't be reporting on my early shifts. Nb this seems to contribute to the myriad reasons why i am educated so frequently. But apart from occasionally blogging, i hav...

Winter's Star: October 2013

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 30, 2013. The weather has been quite warm and humid recently. a strong reminder that it's that time of year. What's wrong with being surrounded by family, going to end of year parties with old friends, and seeing my boyfriend every week? Or even every two weeks? What's wrong with having internet access? Sometimes I am too adventurous for my own good. or perhaps I am just getting older now, and being out of my comfort zone is not as exciting as it used to be. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Winter's Star: July 2013

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Things I learnt about interview technique. So, I've been told that I'm due another blog post. I should really be working on my rotation case presentation for this coming monday, so today's post will be a little filler that I've been thinking about- the three most important things I've learnt about how to attend a job interview. 3 Wear a suit. Sounds like a no-brainer, but I met a couple of people at my interviews who didn't wear suits. Of course, this is dependent on what jo...

Winter's Star: i used to be normal, like you

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2014/07/i-used-to-be-normal-like-you.html

Tuesday, July 15, 2014. I used to be normal, like you. I think i'm pretty desensitised to death and dying. it's what happens when you work in a hospital. certifying deaths on the wards during night shift. family meetings with relatives. Most of the time i just switch it off, but there are a few times when death doesn't just pass you in the corridor like a distant acquaintance. sometimes in passing, it stares right at you- through you, for a brief moment.

Winter's Star: June 2013

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 25, 2013. In search of new hairstyles. I remember being told once that we sleep eight hours a night as a learned pattern because of the rotation of the earth around the sun. But in some study of people who lived in caves, the natural sleep cycle was found to be six hours. People have their own internal rhythm but conform to the rhythm of the world they inhabit. Somewhat similar principle? 1) I was too lazy to keep it up - it took a lot of time/effort because I'm not an artistic person.

Winter's Star: August 2014

http://littlecuriosity.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 10, 2014. It may seem a little ironic that i am posting about friendships when in fact i have in fact erected a two month fence between myself and anybody outside of my immediate family and boyfriend. But think on it for another few seconds and it becomes so obvious that the importance of friendships, like all things, becomes clearer once you step back. It's like the idiom "you can't see the wood (forest) for the trees". But here's the situation now. i haven't seen any of my friends fo...
