commencement 2009 - the culmination of the last 5 years

The huge bunch of balloons that descended on us after the ceremony..loved this bit esp!

Commencement was last monday, felt almost like in Hogwarts with our robes and gowns! The evening was pretty much a blur of rapid photo taking after the initial solemn ceremony - everyone was just moving ard in the packed arena catching up with everyone and clicking away! A real pity that it had to be held in the night session of a weekday - seriously, the worst schedule possible and getting back to work the next morning was absolutely tiring. And i loved the fact that our faculty's gown colour was red - so apt and such a brilliant red that too! (chose a matching red sari for mum even) :D All in all, a nice end to our 5 years of studies with family and friends! :)

and right now, am post call having done a marathon never-ending HO1 on a saturday. gosh what a call! non-stop admissions from 2.00pm right till 8 am :( a grand total of 26 in all plus countless passives..the kinda call where u think u'll be done eventually and the new cases will eventually stop but it never happens..right till 5 mins before call ends. sigh.

but strangely, there's a kind of satisfaction in that i survived a true-blue marathon sgh med call with zilch sleep and still functioned the next day. total of 30 hrs non-stop work :D preparation for the no-postcall days of sgh GS to come...
