last week in NYC

omg it's mon already! and im leaving nyc on friday! wow time sure goes by really fast..

i feel like i havent been here dat long and yet i feel like i've lived here for a long time..contradictory rite? i feel like im just getting used to the city, adjusting to life here and now i have to go..altho if i had initially done an elective here for 8 wks, i would technically have another 4 wks here and i think slowly i would get a bit homesick..and also may get a bit bored cos there's no tv in my apt! i guess it was a blessing in disguise dat i ended up deciding to do 4 wks instead of 8 wks here and doing the other wks in singapore instead..i remember the feeling when i got accepted into the elective program here..i was soo ecstatic! just the thot of being able to go to nyc..wow..and then the disappointment when i realised dat by then, the economy had gone down..the nz dollar was really low and i really couldn't afford to live here for 2 mths..esp to rent an apt in the upper east side..so i made the critical decision of doing 4 wks instead..it has worked out well in the end..my sis agreed to pay half my apt rent with my parents paying the rest..(well i hope they still are!) and ive had a blast staying here altho i am tired of my early morn wakeups and i'm looking fwd to a bit of a change..

the sad thing is there's only another 4 wks of elective to go..i can't believe ive been on a semi holiday for the past 2 mths already! it seems just ytd when i was stressed in my last wk of my surgical run just prior to elective..where i stayed up till 3am to finish my surgical essay and then having to study for my surgical viva the next day plus 2 days of surgical acutes! and then the nightmare of packing for elective..

well packing is my enemy again..i've bought so much stuff here..i hope it all fits into 2 bags..i'm not too worried abt the weight issue..it's more of a space issue..haha..i shall start packing tonite anyways and assess the situation..sigh..i really hate packing..thankfully i didnt end up being an air stewardess (my childhood dream occupation) otherwise i would have to pack every few days which would really piss me off!

so it's another 3 days in the hosp then im done! luckily i got friday off so gonna try and enjoy the last few days here in nyc..i def will be back in this part of the world in the near future..but i will def be back with more moolah and it will be a REAL holiday then..hahahaha..
