And so the countdown begins (yet again)…

… to when I have to say my goodbyes to loved ones and familiar surroundings.

… to when I have to armor up for another year of esteem bashing and academic mayhem. 2nd year is a nasty year, so we have been told by our seniors, cold comfort for my heart that is already tachycardic from constant thoughts of failure and the prospect of what the year has in store.

I am afraid.

Fear can be a good thing, I will just have to put it to good use and soldier on. As so many that have gone before us have come out of battle victorious, so can we, hopefully with battle scars we can be proud of and with our head still held high.

Onward 2010.

9 more days to battle.
