no, i haven't started back on the path to blog abandonment, though nearly two weeks without any new entries might classify as such. it's just that hell month has already started, with two or more exams each week, our first ward work coming up soon, and a research proposal on gano and gout to squeeze in somewhere amidst all the panic and frustration. i'm just priming myself for the last few weeks of the first semester, which entails constantly hitting the books and just trying to keep up with all the load remaining in the sem. after that, it'll be three whole weeks of smooth sailing during the sem break, during which i've also got some activities lined up for, but that's for another time.

and just to be frank, my mind hasn't been in much of a creative groove lately. it might be all the innumerable tidbits of med lore i've been supersaturating it with, or plain fatigue is just setting in. but regardless of why it's so, my good old neuronal network just isn't up for a filling dose of wordplay nowadays. it's not like the well has gone dry though; there've been some bouts of daily drama that i wanted to spill my guts about recently, but i guess baring my soul through my writing just isn't my forte. again, maybe some other time.
