YM Med’s New Learning Progress System

On June 14, I received a email from the faculty office about their recently-bought system for student’s learning progress, and I tried it immediately. There was no amazing function, but I was a little bored that why the decision-making people always buy something not very useful (and sometimes fucking IE-only) for the students, and they always cost a lot!!

After I posted the news in my personal board, my classmate commented that the system shows our past personal grades and the order in the class. I connected to the system again and found my grade report. It seemed that I should not see that before the final exam. >_< It was a little bas news for me that my grades are not good as I think.

Yesterday, my roommate found his grades report and was a little sad about that. He said he studied as hard as he could in the past, but he didn’t get the appropriate repay. For me, he did well enough. There are too many talented people in our faculty, and they also study hard. Maybe we haven’t been acustomed to falling in grades, because we are always in the top population in the past. This is the normal environment in the faculty of medicine.

Because I were not him, I could not know what reason he is so sad for. Maybe there are differences between the goals we set for ourself. What I can do is to study harder and harder in the future. The most important is what I have really learned, not what grade I get.

A Sad News About Sky Yen

Sky Yen (嚴婉禎) is my younger sister of the 1st grade in my school family. She suicided via burning carbon in her aunt’s home in the evening of June 15. Here are the news: I, II. (I couldn’t find any English version.)

I accidentally heard this news in my way to buy my lunch. I was so shocked when I recognize the person in the news as her. I almost can’t believe that she actually went this way, leaving so many people caring for her. Although I’m not so familiar with her, when I heard the news, I couldn’t control myself feeling so sad.

My elder sister, Hana Pan, called me last night, she sounded not really well. The other members, such as Wen-Shuen Lan and Yu-Ru Chang, also felt sad and posted something in their personal BBS boards. Because recently we all are in the final exam period, I can’t find a more continuous time to record my feeling, and just post it here to express my little missing to her.

Hope she lives happily in the heaven, and all the people I care have courage to face problems.

2005.06.21 Updated: Her Dad wants to duplicate her DNA. Whether he will succeed or not, I think there won’t be another Sky Yen on the earth forever. A person is composed of body and spirit. Even the body can be copied, the spirit won’t. Hope her family go out of the sorrow as quickly as possible.

2005.11.10 UPDATE: The Photo was taken just about 2 weeks before she suicided. All the memory may be here forever.

Be More PATIENT!

I fought with Kilo this morning over some trifling matters. She cared about my attitude to her, and I focused on her studying attitude about computers. We quarreled very much so that she didn’t want to answer my phone call for several times. I’d just like to talk to her and hope we shall go to a compromise, but I didn’t success until 1 P.M..

She asked me for not shouting at her from today, and she said that was the most important reason she got so angry. I think I should be more patient with anything not as I considered. If I continuously do myself and don’t think about what others feel, I’ll lose my lovely girlfriend and many friends. This event is almost because of my poor self-cultivation. She is right. I needn’t to be so angry with things not as my wishes.

Kilo, I’m so sorry for my crude manners. Please forgive me, and I love you.

Food Intoxication?

When I was dealing with kilo’s computer’s strange IME behavior last night, I felt accidentally acute abdominal pain. There were neither defecation nor farting feeling at that time. Murphy sign and peritoneal sign were both negative. I didn’t have any sphygmomanometer to check my vital sign. Without stethoscope, I couldn’t auscultate the frequency of my bowel sounds, but I thought it may increase a little. It was a little like the episode I got food intoxication in junior high school.

The symptoms persisted about 2 hours and remitted that I could go to bed. This morning after I had my breakfast, I felt the similar colic again. I felt there are large gas in my abdoman, and as my expectation, I went to stool just now. (By the way, I also repaired the broken flusher. =.=|||) It looked normal color and no foul odor, but a little watery.

I think it may be food intoxication of my last night snack, Fried Tou-Fu (臭豆腐). The pathogen may be in the bean paste or the pickled vegetables.

I feel more comfortable after defecation. Hope it is just a single event. (But I really won’t buy any food from that street vendor. :p) May the others ate Fried Tou-Fu last night are all safe and well.

Decided To Travel Around Taiwan Again

This morning in the Introduction of Surgery class, I found that my classmate, Tzu-Chun Wei, will go abroad for THREE times. It’s an amazing news for me. Because I don’t have enough money to participate in our gruduation-celebrating travel to Thailand and Phuket Island, I am a little envious of him for having family support to travel around in the last summer vacation in our medical education.

What A Damn Roach!

Why do you hide in the clothes I just cleaned? Although I am not a mysophobia, I still don’t like you to dirty my clothes. OK., finally the fate of you is death under my little, cute dustpan. Hahaha… XD

Two Rice Dumplings For Lunch

I took 2 rice dumpling (粽子) and a cup of milk tea for lunch today. One is made by Kilo’s grandmother, and the other is given by the First Boy Dorm Admin Team.

Last weekend I went back home in the middle part of Taiwan. My Mon also made some rice dumplings. She wasn’t satisfied with them, because the rice always sticked on the rice dumpling leaf. I’m not a specialist in cooking, and I couldn’t provide any constructive suggestion. But going home and eating what made by Mom herself are enough for me. Keep Reading

PBL Courses Ended

On Monday, the last case of PBL ended, and it means that this semester is approximately going to the end. (The final exams are coming, too. :p) In addition, after I come into the 5th year of medical education, there are few chances for me to participate a PBL course.

At the first time I got into a learning style like this in the 2nd semester of my 3rd grade, I didn’t like it very much. I was so lazy to find the answer we discussed in class in comparison with my panelists. They were smart and studious and always found out many amazing information and papers. But after nearly half-semester accommondation, I gradually cought up them and enjoyed more. Keep Reading
