Wasting my time manz!
ARGH!
So pissed at the moment. Trying to cool down.
I wrote down my wonderful plans for the day, and everything went well until an hour ago. BAH!
The lady in charge of Allensbank House said I'll be able to see the rooms after 2pm today, and I happily went ALL THE WAY there to look for her, and guess wat?! She's not in the office and no one's around either! I waited a total of 30 mins for her, and got so fed up, I just left to get my other stuffs done. I hate sitting there waiting like an idiot for someone whom I don't even know will turn up. I heard from the other people that she's ALWAYS late! So much for angmos being punctual...
And guess what? I just found out that lovely Allensbank House has got no parking. Meaning I'll have problems with parking if I buy a car (don't ask me how come this place's so insane to have NO PARKING for an accomodation..cos I dont know why either..and would be most pleased if someone can tell me why). The only option's I've got is to park along the road/bridge, but it's not safe as there are cases of cars being broken into, and smashed (don't ask me why UK's like that either...). Hence, I had to walk all the way BACK to the hospital to check out on-site parking charges since I thought I rather pay more for safer parking as Allensbank House is just 5 mins away from the hospital. Then I was told that I can apply for permit parking, which will cost like 90 pence ($2.70) each time I park my car...but that's subjected to whether the National Health Service wants to grant me the permit, and even if I get the permit, I might not get a parking space as I'm only allowed to park in lots with a GREEN P sign. If I were to park in the other lots, I will have to pay £3 ($9) each time despite having a permit. Insanity right??!?!?!?!?!
I met my Korean classmate, James, on the way to Allensbank House just now. Got details of his accom from him, and will see if I can get his landlord's number later IF I see him in the 4pm lecture regarding Clinical Competence exam (this guy skips lectures all the time).
I'm really very troubled about my accomodation at the moment. I hope I can get it settled asap so that I can concentrate solely on my attachments which start next week.
And oh yes, I met Martin Hughes today! Yay! Attchments for me shall start next week at a lovely not-so-near hospital. But I do like it there cos the staff's friendly. It's called Caerphilly Miner's Hospital. I'm really excited about being there (even though I'm sure it's gonna be non stop Diabetes Clinic most of the time). Heard from Martin that I will be under Dr Prem (the same guy I was under the last time I was in CMH). Great! I hope I can get to see strict Dr Mir too. I was even planning to pay him a visit to ask him to give me intensive clinical examination lessons. He's a very fussy doctor, and he's damn good. I enjoyed his teachings a lot cos it was the no-nonsense sort, despite being stressful cos he throws questions on u at the most unexpected times and expects u to know something. And he does chops u when he makes u do an examination and history summary in front of him...it can be quite scary, but I know it's good for me, and it'll make me a better doctor one day. I don't mind going home later or sacrificing my weekends just to get him to teach me and make sure I'm going into exams all well polished.
So looks like this week, I'll have to try to read as much as I can on Diabetes (it's Dr Mir and Prem's favourite) before he chops me and suans me upside down during Clinic. Shall do it tonight (hopefully, I don't get bogged down and distracted by the housing problems tonight..).
Plans for tmr...I guess it's more sourcing for houses again. Such a pain...I'll be damn pleased once it's settled...I just hope things will go smooth for me...it's definitely not at the moment...*sigh*
