in love with koalas

I decided to go to my grandma's place early today and caught her by surprise! We watched animal planet together and it's amazing how something so simple could fill my heart with warmth. It's nice being able to laugh together, talk about animals we both love and practise my dialect at the same time. Haa.. Sometimes i'm really thankful that i had the opportunity to grow up at my grandma's. She taught me so much! I still remember how she had 18 cats and dogs, had birds, fishes, tortises and i joined her collection by keeping butterflies and tadpoles. Have u seen the life cycles of butterflies, frogs and snails? Well i have! :) She taught me how to differentiate butterflies from moths, taught me some gardening skills and i was so shocked that i have to learn these techniques in school. My grandma never had formal education but she knew all about bud grafting and all the vegetative propagation methods which i learn in bio. She said it's all from experience. I was so -whoa-ed- Makes me wonder abt education stimes. It's interesting how formal education may be beneficial to only some pple while it's a complete waste of time for others. Hmm.. anyway, the programme i watched today was about koalas. They're so adorable arent they?
I've been wondering, will my love for bio make me change my mind abt doing medicine. My teacher really talked me into considering teaching. Hee.. If i do, i hope i'll be as gd as him! Then again, when my granny asked if i've ever considered veterinarian science today, it set me thinking about this new option. ARGH... this isnt doing much good to my determination to get into nus medicine. I really want to (trying to convince myself here.. haa) but there just seems so many favourable options. Guess it may be harmful tt i have so many interests..
Alright, i better get back to work. I get real excited when i think about my exams ending in 6 days! Yippee!! :) Hang in there everyone :) last stretch, give ur best shot and make this a home run!
I've got lots to do aft a's. Too many... ... ...
