I Definitely Need a Fridge-ologist

It's been a while since my first post here. Medical school on third year is getting thougher and I had some problems on managing my schedules, research time, studying time, and maintaining my sanity, so here I go.

So I've had my 4 exams out of 5 exams this week. Today's exam was public health. Public health itself is interesting for me, but to me honest, statistics is not my cup of tea. I am so bad in numbers and formulas. Last night I struggled hard to memorized the terms, the names of which analyizing system is used, and the formulas. And today my exam was a bit saved my my calculator, which helped me a lot in calculating numbers without knowing the formulas.

Anyway, the reason why I make this post while I am supposed to be studying for tomorrow's exam (which is Pharmacology - the terror), is that I just found some reasons to do a major room clean up. Yesterday I realized that the dust on the back part of my cupboard is almost 2 cms piled. And found that the milk that I stored in my fridge has deteriorated. It smelled like yoghurt and fortunately I did smelled it before I drink it.


Ew. Just now, I was going to open this jar of fruit coctail and was surprised that it has been so condusive for a thick massive colony of greenish fungus to grow. I opened the jar lid and it seems that this fungus released greenish spore and I don't want to risk being toxicated in this exam week. So I close the lid and throw out the jar. The expire date is November 31st, 2010, but I thought if you keep food in the fridge it should last longer, isn't it?





Moreover, I just realize that as soon as I get my free days, I would clean up the fridge and especially melt the mini ice cave inside it. It's really annoying especially when I want to store some sausages or ice cream inside the freezer and the ice is clearly dominating the small box. I need to put more effort to put out the sausages which are trapped inside. The last time I turned off my fridge for a day to melt the ice, it was like a major flood inside my room. So I need to prepare more before doing the same, prepare the space, the dry cloth, and of course move all the stale-able food (e.g. fruit) inside to somewhere else.


I love the little extra pleasure by owning a mini fridge inside my room, it really helps me to store some fresh food so I can cook some dish myself, and enjoying a nice cold juice or milk in the morning is my bliss. But it would be much better if I don't have to spend much time to take care of it.


Now I'm going back to Endocrine drugs.

  1. read your story. We're having the same problem of managing our study time while need to clean up everything by ourselves. Just finished cleaning my bathroom and I am feeling kinda exhausted now. Love to have your own private bathroom though the cleaning process is quite time-consuming. Anw how's life? It's been long time didn't see u around in Malang. Jes
