Don't you just hate it when...

  • the university email doesn't work and you can't read/send emails?
  • someone who used washing machine #3 uses dryer#2 instead of #5 when I'm using washing machine #1? (see below)

  • your flatmates don't wash the dishes properly and there's oil left on the plates?
  • your flatmates all of whom are over the age of 20, are unable to maintain a tidy kitchen for a day?
  • you go to Sidmouth and get sunburned?
  • you have fish&chips and grease is literally dripping from the fish?
  • you have one unhealthy meal and you feel sorry for your body for doing so?
  • you have one unhealthy meal and you feel sick?
  • you find yourself alone on the beach when everybody else is having a nice time with their friends?
  • you realise that you don't have real friends?
  • you are constantly choking because of you binder and yet you can't quit wearing it because you don't want your flatmates to know that you have boobs.
  • you find from a facebook post that your cousin is homophobic?
  • your flatmates are glad when they find out that you aren't gay?
  • you want to go to bed but can't because you have to wait for the laundry?
  • chinese students talk really loudly in a language that you don't understand?
  • people know your name but you don't know theirs?
  • you can never remember people's names because they all look the same?
I just want to go to bed.

First appointment with GP

After discovering that there's a Gender Identity Clinic (GIC) in Exeter, I decided to give the NHS route a go. To start hormones from the NHS, I first need to get a referral from a GP. So that's why I went to the hospital today.

Last week, I went to a local hospital to make an appointment since I found out that the Student Health Centre will not register me until September. I thought I heard the receptionist saythat my appointment time was "twenty to five" but as I was walking home, I began to think I had misheard her for "twenty to four". I decided to be cautious and go ASAP after class.

So today was the day of the appointment. When my class ended at 3:00, I rushed back to my room to get some documents that I might need. But, of course, the fire alarm was ringing and I couldn't go in to the building! The fire alarm rings so often. It's annoying. 
Anyway, we all waited outside until it stopped. 15 minutes had passed. I packed my stuff and set off. It took 28 minutes to get to the hospital.

I asked the receptionist what the time of my appointment was. It was 4:40. I had 55 minutes to wait. I waited. It felt like 30 minutes.
The doctor was very nice but this was the first time he deals with someone who wants a referral to a GIC. He told me that there are 3-4 people who has had/is going through a sex change. That was nice to hear. He told me he will get in touch with me after he finds out what he has to do. I hope he will call me during next week...

HARRY POTTER IS OVER

I just came back from the cinema... No need say what I watched...
I
AM
SPEECHLESS!

Holy shit, my flatmates were crying there eyeballs out at the Snape scene. Who knew Snape was on the good side from the beginning?!

Of course, I read the book. But that was before the Part 1 came out which was last November.
When I finished Part 1, I was not satisfied with the cliffhanger. Although is was 2.5 hours, it felt like 3 minutes. But Part 2 was different. It was only 2 hours but it felt like 3 hours. It was packed with action but it wasn't all about action. The story line was still there and there was also humour. I am very satisfied with how they directed it. And, of course, kudos to JK Rowling.
