Nowheresville

So far, being in final year has been blissful. Attend lectures when you want and wear whatsoever pleases you. If a test falls when it will inconvenience, talk to the Course Rep and he’ll fix it. And what about 75% attendance? Rotting in hell where it rightly belonged. Yes, final year has been quite blissful and our FYCA-Final Year Class Activity took things put the F back in FYCA. They say you know FYC is over when you go for your rural posting. Rural posting is a 6-8 week stint we do in the middle of nowhere (a where without light, water and GSM service but with plenty of rats, mosquitoes and sandflies) to complete our learning in the field of Community Medicine. The 1st and last weeks are often spent in school; the former is to instruct us about the posting while the latter is to evaluate our experience. Our own Rural Posting runs from 7th Jan-1st May. We’ve already been told to come with all the possible things we need to cope their and that attendance will be taken twice every weekday-morning and evening. Weekends are to be spent at your discretion. This rural posting is just upsetting me, I mean 6 whole weeks in Nowheresville? God help me! And attendance again? Who released it from hell? Well I’m keeping my fingers crossed and packing a huge bag to Nowheresville. I hope somehow there’s GSM service and GPRS at least to update you on my “adventures” in Nowheresville.
