Of Russian Winter and Bitter Exams

Another 5 for Anatomy Controls added!!

After a sleepless nite on Wednesday.. my efforts finally bear fruits for the not-so-dreaded syndesmology controls held on Thursday morning ( ytd ).

Yesterday was a crazy day. We were one of the few unlucky groups to have 2 controls back to back on the same day. Anatomy then Physics. A tough subject and the latter being my weakest subject. All in the same day. Thank goodness i breezed through the earlier control, also successfully obtaining a "very good" comment frm my lecturer. All those late nites up studying really paid off!
































Ok we were jus goofing around in between study sessions..
After most of us KO for the nite.. Oni 2 of us were left studying at nite.. And finally, only I was left studying alone, in a peaceful n serene environment.


















But sometimes staying up studying all alone can be a pretty lonely situation. So i have my ever-so-faithful study mate to keep me company..






















Ok that was the exam part.

Now the winter. A constant snow fell on Russian soils on the nite of Wednesday, eve of Anatomy and Physics controls day.We 1st yr students were.. in a nutshell.. EXCITED.

When the snow 1st fell, we couldnt care less putting on our winter clothing. We jus rushed outside in shorts, t-shirts and slippers/sandals to savour a proper 1st snow.


















These r the 1st few ppl to lay their hands on the freshly fallen snow.

















And perhaps.. a friendly snowball fight?














































Making my presence felt on the snow XD


















After a while.. i started feeling cold. My legs and hands were numb with the cold. I was SHIVERING!

















Then after all those short-lived fun we've to return to our Anatomy atlas studying..


















Welcome to the world of syndesmology, the study of joints. Thats the shoulder joint illustrated in the pic. My head is filled wit all the important ligaments of the shoulder joint. Especially the ligamentum glenohumerale superius, ligamentum glenohumerale mediale, ligamentum glenohumerale inferius, ligamentum coracoacromiale etc etc..

The nxt morning ( ytd's morning, me having no sleep at all ), we left our hostel only to be greeted by a continuous torrent of snow accompanied by brutal winds that cuts straight to the bones. It was like a mini blizzard!!! we were all walking towards the bus stop wit a lot of snow falling on us, looking like walking snowmen. Me, according to my frens, look like a rolling snowball. WTH wei.
































Thats the violent mini-blizzard. I can hardly snap a proper pic. The snowfall is jus too glaring. After the torrential snowfall, Moscow looks like this.


















Thats the view outside my Physics classroom. Shortly after i finished my Physics controls.


















After Physics controls, we did a little camwhoring in the park and headed back home.




























































On the way back.. more snowball fight! And my desperate attempts to make a huge ass snowball.



















And now we HAVE to look forward to studying..






















MYOTOLOGY!!!
