You had mentioned that "the problem where you need music to keep you going when you have a lot of work". I have same feeling like you. It becomes a really awful lfe to me now, since I failed to get through graduate school exam. Deciding to try them again next yaer, I have to go to the same library and stay 8hrs everyday. And I recently found that musics can actually relieve me so much when I go home 23pm every nights with tired eyes and body. I usually listen to it when I ride my bike and nod my head with a melody, just like a nuts XD. ※ 引述《ataoyuanguy (A Taoyuan Guy)》之铭言： : Hello Lorraine, : Welcome to the board, nice to meet you. : I see you mentioned on your blog about the problem where you need music : to keep you going when you have a lot of work. But then, you build up : strong associations with that music, usually of bad things. : It was also interesting to see the big pile of sugar free candy on your : blog too. I remember using sugar highs (real sugar unfortunately) and : non-stop snacking on a daily basis to keep myself going, stop my : concentration from fading. : I can hardly imagine how much damage I did to myself during that time. : Actually, I found that 'fizzy water' stopped me from eating too much. : It might be worth a try - some supermarkets sell carbonated water here. : Going back to music... : It's interesting to see that there are female equivalents of 'eye of : the tiger', the only song which will keep any guy working out for : an extra 3 minutes at the gym... : When I did my PhD, for about 2 years afterwards, I couldn't listen to : any of the music that had kept me going through the final 18 months of : the PhD (the writeup). But, I found that later, I could begin to listen : again, and enjoy those songs once more. : Which specialisation are you studying for your MD? I noticed psychiatry : and neurology being mentioned. I'm guessing one of these two. : Anyway, feel welcome to chat any time! See you around the board... : Mu : ※ 引述《lioness731 (lorraine)》之铭言： : : Hey everyone....haha this is actually my very first post on ptt. : : i type incredibly slow in chinese, : : so this place feels right at home for me. : : Name: Lorraine : : Birthday: 07/31 : : Hobbies: working out, shopping : : Occupation: i'm currently a medical student at Chang Gung : : Medical University, will be starting my 7th : : and last year in june. : : How long have you been learning English? english is practically : : my native language. i'm an overseas chinese student from : : the US. i graduated high school in california, and came : : back to taiwan for med school. : : it's really nice meeting u all~ glad to see so many people intereted in : : chatting in english or looking for native english speakers to practice : : with. i will definitely become a regular visitor to this board! : : please visit my blog: http://lorr731.spaces.live.com : : any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated :P -- 永远纯真的相信 我们都有能力改变这世界 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/tetsuya0129 --
