Hello,
As I'm writing this, I'm in the beginning of my 3rd semester. I can't brain the thought that I'm writing this almost a year after my first post. Oh, how times flies! It zooms past. Well, to start things off, my 2nd semester was a HIT. Trust me when I say, I did things I've never thought I'll do, even in daydreams. And a lots of them, at that. Semester started as usual, and our schedules were less hectic, say we had shorter classes than how it was for the 1st semester. I'm saying this because 3rd semester is even better. The subjects and the learning process didn't get easier, obviously,classes are more intense and we have lots more to absorb and all. Thus, we are put in a less hectic schedule, giving us more time to study and also complain about how hectic study life has become. Well, life as it is by a medical student. *Laughs*
That being said, the burden of writing an introduction has been lifted off. I can finally dwell into the heart of the subject. It feels like I have so much to type, say, but I'm going to try to keep it short as I've taken this official break to write, and then I have to get back to preparing for my Physiology class tomorrow.
So, yes, second semester. It passed by in a blur, as we were having so much fun. The starting was not so bad, the occasional outings, dinners with course-mates and friends. Well, and then I found a friend. A guy, we took off pretty quickly. First, we started chatting, on the same day he Skype'd me despite living in the same city. It was pretty creepy at first, he came off to me as a pretty clingy person at that pace and turned out, he was. And then later that week, he wanted to meet, and me being a little too carefree at that moment, because what have I got to lose, right? I mean I was single then, and I wanted to "live in the moment". So, we met. I had to shop for some clothes and so we met at a mall and we spoke about family and friends. We pulled it off as friends.
Things escalated pretty quickly from that point onward. We Skype'd almost everyday and he once asked me to sleep on the phone with him (Imagine this in the most innocent way possible. We didn't sext or do anything along those lines) Let me get one point straight here. Before this "relationship", I've never been in a long-term relationship. Mind you, my first relationship lasted for 2 weeks, we were talking/getting to know each other for 4 months, such a shame, I know. (My very first love and there was a sequel, coming soon!) So, getting back to the story, I was pretty shocked, or perhaps clueless on how to lead this "relationship", so I just went with the flow. We got close in no time, and there was this one time that he wanted to watch a movie with me and we got the tickets a day earlier, but something came up for him and he had to cancel the movie plan. As much as I wanted to throw a tantrum, I'm the type of "almost-girlfriend" who gave one too many chances, just because I value the relationship more than myself. (One thing that I'm learning to overcome)
So, he paid for my cab and asked me to join him with his friends and seniors. As much as I hesitated, he went out on all extremes to have me next to him at that moment. (Sweet? It was freezing cold outside and a Sunday, I just wanted to curl under my blankets. I was never the outgoing type) We met, and apparently he told his friends that I was his girlfriend. I was flabbergasted, like what do I say? I mean I've not given it thoughts yet. Do I want to be your girlfriend? Am I over my past relationship? (It might seem ridiculous, but it took 6 months for me to get over my ex-boyfriend, the initial break up phase took that long.) As I was in the initial shocked phase, I refused to play along with the girlfriend game, one that he took very seriously. The result of me not playing the game (he asked me to hold hands with him, tow which I refused adamantly) was his friends thinking that he was being forceful towards this relationship. He did not talk to me the whole night and a fortnight. *Sighs*
He finally texted me back, after I said sorry countless times, (again the effect of being the partner who gives in too much) saying that he owes me the movie which we were supposed to watch and that he is ending ties with me. I agreed on the movie and I wanted to convince him into forgiving me, (which costed a McChicken. How easy! *laughs*) and he ended up forgiving me. Voila! The relationship went on for sometime, us occasionally meeting and all. Then, one day we attended an event organised by our University and it happened to be the weekend before my birthday. My friends wanted to crash at a local pub and we planned it to be a silent night, you know, just girls and a couple of dances. I told him that I was leaving and he stopped me saying that he is joining us.
He had a surprise intact, he actually gathered all his friends and a few of my close friends over at a local pub and it was the most happening, pre-birthday bash ever. I owe him that. I felt so loved, but my friends said that perhaps his intention on me wasn't love. After that incident, the relationship took a massive 360-turn, I found out that he was trying to get back with his ex-girlfriend.
Wooops, cliff-hanger. I desperately have to stop now. I will write back ASAP. (Promise!)
Ciao,
Gayu
