CeBIT is the world's biggest and most important computer expo. It is held on the fairground in Hanover, Germany each spring and is a barometer of information technology. With an exhibition area of roughly 450,000 m² (about 5 million square feet) and 700,000 visitors, it is larger than COMDEX.
I'm not feeling well at the moment, I might get coryza (common cold). Been having runny nose, sore throat and pyrexia (high temperature) since Monday night. Might get the viral infection from one of the patients who I took their medical history on Monday. Yesterday, I wasn't sure if it was coryza or because I was just so tired with the ward round but since I keep sneezing last night, confirm the fact that I got coryza which is usually caused by either Rhinovirus or Coronavirus in which they attack the lining of the nose and throat. Not going for class in hospital tomorrow because I'm afraid of infecting the patients in the ward and going to the clinic to get prescription for antiviral or perhaps anti-inflammatory for the nose congestion. Been taking aspirin and Vitamin C but they just relieving the symptoms of fever, not more than that, hope the condition will go away in a few days time.
Xenophobia denotes a phobic attitude toward strangers or of the unknown. It comes from the Greek words xenos, meaning "foreigner/stranger," and phobos, meaning "fear." The term is typically used to describe fear or dislike of foreigners or in general of people different from one's self. For example, racism is sometimes described as a form of xenophobia. In science fiction, it has come to mean "fear of extraterrestrial things." Xenophobia implies a belief, accurate or not, that the target is in some way foreign. Prejudice against women cannot be considered xenophobic in this sense, except in the limited case of all-male clubs or institutions. The term xenophilia is used for the opposite behavior, attraction to or love for foreign persons. (Wikipedia.com)
Class will start again on Monday next week and I've started to do some preparations for what they called "intensive clinical attachment" and at the moment I'm concentrating on medical history, clinical examinations and practical procedures just to recall back and improving the skills that I've learned. Anyway, since all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, I'm planning to watch City of God tomorrow and Elephant on the next day. Oh ya, going to meet Joanne, my best friend in college for coffee tomorrow, haven't seen her for ages now, my fault actually, been busy doing nothing lately, hehe :D
