First semester of medicine is ending soon, and surprise surprise, I won't be passing it. I have no interest in physics and biology, and I'll rather be rid of the entire medical school completely.

"Study so that you won't go hungry!" my mother says, but this is definitely not the way to go. I honestly don't know what career interests me. Might be that I go to psychology, or something else that has nothing to do with mathematics. I wasn't good at it at school, and I'm not much better here, and there are no fancy classes like philosophy and creative writing, since my country is not that "first world" enough to have those things.

Also I want to go out and drink but I need a group of mates to do it. Otherwise it's just gulping down beer that's horrid to my palate. What's the purpose of getting drunk if you don't have pals to share? After all, I'm told that I get funny when drunk, and I certainly start to greatly enjoy company after drinking a bottle or two.

Related to writing now, I have this queer insinuation in my mind that if I read other people's writing prose and style, that I will lose my own. That it will become corrupted, and distorted, and no longer my own. Pure rubbish, but it always pours into my mind no matter how many leaks I plug. For example, I start reading Harry Potter and I fear that this military-focused piece that I'm writing will lose its spark that spawned it on the first place.
