i love how you explored warren and gordon's aftermath in your latest fic! i was wondering what your thought process was like in regards as to how you wanted to portray them ! (love the fic as well :)) )
oh my thank you so soso much😭 I'm so glad you enjoyed it so! (also sorry for the late response orz)
As for the general thoughts I just tend to ask myself a question and then answer it, which is a very academic thing to do but it works in a sense, the leading theme I wanted to explore was: how do you cope with being told you can move on?
And so I just played barbies for a bit, as I said I don't love explicitly stating anything, and I struggle a lot with maintaining one tone, so mostly it was just mix-and-match with things I thought were funny (the corncrakes lol) and things I wanted Warren to see (how big the sea is and how nice the earth feels under your hands and how tomorrow is just behind the corner and and and). It was difficult and I don't think I managed to say everything I wanted in a single fic or even just do an actual character analysis because at the end of the day mine is a canon non compliant fic made when we don't even know how the actual source material is going to end so!
I just personally love the sensations of left-over hauntings that Red Valley has, it's somewhat a story told backwards, it's Aubrey reminiscing for the future Warren could possibly have, I wanted to think of a place that was going to be difficult to inhabit but also beautiful, like Red Valley (the mountain & the cabin) are, and I wanted to explore more what Gordon&Warren are to each other, because yes I think it's nice when they are happy and in love and the smooch about it, and also somehow the unbalanced way their relationship was (Gordon being the caretaker and Warren being taken care of which as I think I mentioned in another post is sooo phantom threadable but not Healthy and I wanted to Get there, to them being healthy).
So! Yeah, to be honest I had a lot of false starts and some scenes I haven't included written EVERYWHERE, this fic consumed my whole summer, when I tell you I wrote in notebooks, in my phone notes, on a spare google doc, it was insane. And maybe I'll polish some of them and put them in a serie but maybe not also, I am very fickle and I tend to hate everything I produce who knows!
but thank you!! thank you so much I'm so glad you liked it and asked me this also fun fact I published the fic and red valley announced the season 3 release and I felt like Nostradamus =")

Finished part 1 today which was the english proficiency component. You could say it was tough or not depending on how you viewed it.
I am really concerned about my loose stools. It hasnt gotten any better. I cant quite identify if there is a food source. There are days when it is fine but more often than not its loose. Maybe 3-4 times a day. I think if it doesnt resolve this time in HK I will visit my GP. It doesnt make much sense tho I dont see blood nor do I have any other symptoms. I dont even have abdominal pain just the occasionally increased sensation that i need to poop. I used to poop 1-2x a day. I hope its just the anxiety with the exams etc.
Anyway I didnt end up talking to anyone. Im sure quite a number of these guys have past papers urgh. There was a china man blatantly cheating before the test started. He basically opened the question book and looked at it. I was like wow. I think this is a cultural difference. Its kinda what you are used to right? Im sure if everyone did that around me and it wasnt stopped I would have been doing that too.
Anyway. The exam was 4 parts. First 2 were true and false 10 questions each and the latter 2 were open ended.
First question was just refering to an attached guideline and true and false. Second was reading an article on sleep and true and false. 10 points each. Minus one for incorrect. I should have all 20 points here so i would have passed.
Of course there is space for carelessness.
The other part surprised me a little because I assumed it was only an english proficient test. But remarkably it was two cases.
The first made me quite worried. It was a 30yom with loose stools 4xday plusminus hematochezia x 3weeks with weightloss. Ok fine there is the hematochezia component. Quite different from me. But anyway it asked for ddx. Which for me was bacterial viral parasitic celiac lactose ibd ibs cancer less likely pud fissure hemorrhoids. And what questions would you ask. I was a little confused because the history provided was pretty sufficient so i assumed it meant pmh psh meds all fhx shx.
It was only worth 5 points so i dont know where they grading this.
Then the second 5 points was to write a letter of referral. Well i know where im being referred to but i have no idea how to write a letter. Ive just called them usually...
So i just wrote. Thanks for taking care of our last pt would appreciate if you can help with this too. Basically gave them the blurp plus my brief ddx of ibd v cancer and said i was attaching a few studies. And opened up to further questions.
Last question was apparently salmonella typhi bacteremia because they gave the lab results. They asked for ddx and workup and treatment prior to the lab results and basically since it was abd pain plus fever with neg cxr i decided to panculture plus possible us gb ovary and appendix if labs indicated.
I didnt really know whether i was gonna treat without a source but since the labs came back positive i decided to just say i was treating from the offset with broad spectrum given high fever.
The second part was filling out a lab sheet to report infections disease. Salmonella is typhoid fever right? What annoyed me was that there was a section to fill the hospital code and there was a couple numbers here and there and i didnt knpw which one it was. Then there was also the reporters phone and fax whixh wasnt listed anywhere so i just crossed it out. The ordering doctor was also YOUR, Name and i couldnt figure out it that meant to use my real name or YOUR, Name. I asked but the invigilator who was an old lady who didny rewlly speak english clearly wasnt going to be too helpful because she thinks this is some sort of english proficiency thingy.
I just left it as your name. I just found it very odd that i was very impressed theu would go double blind the examiners and examinees and end up having uou write your real name on the paper. They double blind because each examinee has a number but on the ansee booklet uou only put your table number which is different everyday so clearly ita double blinded.
Anyway she wouldny answer me and I had already double checked so i submitted it around 45mins early and left. The walk was long i fulfilled my steps already. I wont be wearing dress shoes next time. Super uncomfortable.
I went back ro mong kok its wuite a trip 45mins. Google was pretty accurate i was impressed. Puf my stuff down changed my shoes and went for lunch. Just across the street there was a small shop. Had beef tendon noodles for 21 bucks. Wth. It was a small bowl but decent size and 21 bucks is kinda cheap. Felt the tendon wasnt cleanest had some small hair left on it which i scrapped off. But at 21 bucks cant complain. Then bought soy sauce chicken rice for dinner. 35 bucks. Wtf. So cheap. Was scammed last time round 54 bucks wow. Different shop fronts tho. This one was clearly super old school the man was just naked and sweating lol.
Then had a uni handroll 38bucks. Wow. Smallest vut most expensive. So it was a nice photogeaphic piece but there was bitterness to it. Its a big nice looking. Too bsd its bitt3r. Not sure it i want it again. Bitter is rewlly a disappointment for uni. Not sweet is the minimum.
Also bought conditioner and face wash. Plan to just regurgitate all these graphs and tables in my head today. Its already quite memorized.
Then walk through first aid and the 2016 2017 maybe 2015 papers over the weekend. Also adjusting my sleep schedule to a more regular wake up.
