Type B personality please~

Today was the start of 'Behavioral Sciences'; two weeks of lectures covering 'Human Behavour in Health and Illness' and 'Interviewing Skills'. Throw in a lecturer that swears vulgarities, lecture contents, Sem 1's first of many interactions with 'Simulated Patients (SP)' at IMU, and Julian asking me to be an SP, its promising to be a more interesting period.

And I've been attending Sign Language/Bahasa Isyarat classes! Its only been two sessions so far but I can sign the alphabet, numbers and some simple signs for social interaction. Only 8 more classes and a test before I can get certified. I figured it'll be productive and worthwhile to possess knowledge for something that's lesser practiced like Sign Language. You never know when you might meet deaf/mute patients/people so simple communication won't be a major problem then. =P and sign 'OI! I'M WATCHING YOU!' randomly to friends.

In other stuff, sometimes I hate the way I've been programmed to function.

I hate my inability to keep my emotions under control for very long, because it inevitably clouds my senses. And I start doing crazy things like attempt at emulating Forrest Gump by running, write random notes of encouragement to plaster on the cupboard next to my desk. Or I get sudden urges to do things that I wouldn't normally do like be a clean-freak on impulse and tidy up my messy sty/room or move on with other aspects of my life but intentionally leave a certain part stagnant, so that even now I cling on to memories that I keep alive, to a love that hasn't yet diminished.

I'm still learning =). And the light is slowly returning. The spring coming back to my step.

Which reminds me. Hoppi and Tutu need their tank cleaned out of week old murky brown water and refilled with refreshing clean water. Tsk. Bad Mervin.

Good nite.
