the sem4 slacking syndrome

so. our first week of endocrine has ended. judging by the number of movies watched, hours spent in the cafeteria talking crap and lack of time in the library, it seems to me that we have all fallen victim to the disease called "the sem4 slacking syndrome".

this syndrome is an accumulation of symptoms like letting notes backlog till the remaining 2 weeks of the system, planning group trips to exotic destinations during rotations, having lunch outside of imu almost every day and spending much more time with (newly-acquired) better halves doing activities that do not involve group study sessions.

what's the aetiology of this disease? is it the jealous remarks of sem5 friends who say, "eh enjoy sem4 ok. i miss it liao."? or the two-month relaxation period we all enjoyed so much that csu lecturers are complaining about our lack of enthusiasm and apparent brain atrophy? perhaps the "sem4 slacking syndrome" is a sort of self-reward for making it through the toughest exam in our pre-clinical years?

what do you think?

*note: lecture powerpoints will be uploaded soon! promise!
