Snow Snow Snowwww

The fact that it snowed yesterday did not surprised me. In fact, it was expected to snow yesterday. What surprised me was the fact that it actually snowed the WHOLE day yesterday. And i seriously mean, the whole day. Like 24/7 whole day. Haha. Ok. Jakun. I am. But this never happened before. Well, at least not for the past 4 years I've been here. That's why I am being all hyped and euphoric. Hehe. Pardon me for that as this does not happen so often.

I had quite a bad start yesterday. My dysmenorrhoea striked again. It hurts like mad. The sweaty palm. The throbbing pain. I felt as if my limbs had gone paralysed. It was unpleasant. I was sent off yesterday by my consultant. Instead of having a full day yesterday, I only ended up going to the morning clinic with Dr Vorah. After spending almost half of my day bounded to bed, my housemates headed off to the park to play snow. Despite the overwhelming desire to join the fun, I had to abstain myself. My consultant gave me a day off, and I just felt really guilty if I actually go and out and play instead when i should be in the clinic, assisting him with his patients til 5 o'clock. Hence, I decided to stay in bed.

I managed to surpress that crazy urge to go and jump in the piles of white snow til 6-ish. Later right after dinner, I could not take it anymore. I just HAVE to go out and play!!! Hahahha. So, I dragged my other housemates and Muni whom willingly joined me to play. We just played at our house backyard, but it was oh-so-much-fun! I was on top of the moon. My spirit just seemed to lift. I felt high. Hahahha. I don't know why people do drugs. Playing snow seems to work for me. Hahhaha.

And this morning, I am supposed to head off to NGH for tutorial at 9. My mate texted me, saying that it was still not confirmed if our tutor is going to make it to the tutorial today as her car is stranded in the snow. Secretly, I prayed that it will be cancelled. Hahaha. Bad, i know. I am.

Anyway, despite praying fervently, hoping that the tutorial will be cancelled, I braved myself to Hallamshire Hospital to wait for the shuttle bus to get to NGH. My oh my. The journey to Hallamshire is one hell of a journey. I almost tripped like a thousand times. The journey which normally took 10 minutes doubled due to the slippery road! Walking uphill does not helps either!

By the time I got to the bus stop, I met a few of my mates. To my disgust, apparently the shuttle bus is not running today due to the snow. OMG. How irritating. I almost injured myself, for nothing! Oh well, even though we were a bit annoyed that we had put our lives at risk by walking to medical school for nothing, but we were happy that the tutorial was cancelled. We have a day off. Yayyyyyy. hehehhe.

The trip back home is even worse than the trip going to med school. Instead of walking uphill, now, I had to walk downhill instead! Arghhh. The thought of it scares me. When I looked at the slopy hill, my spine shivers. Huhu. Am I going to survive this without falling onto my back and cracking my head on the slippery ice? That is not a pretty image.

There's no other way. I had to go down the hill. The other options imposed just as much risk. So, I literally walked like a penguin. Slowly. With extra care. Yet, I managed to slip like a thousand times. I clunged onto whatever I can grab all the way down. Even twigs helped! Hehhe. I was holding my breath all the way. I laughed to myself everytime I almost slipped. A lot of people walked pass me. With NO problem at all!! Wonder how they managed to do that. I am struggling here!!

Alhamdulillah, I did managed to get back home safely. I felt so tired, as if I had just went of skiing. Hehhe. I blame the boots that I'm wearing. hahahha. Oh well. Finally I am home. The only place where I feel safe now. Hehhe.
