Exams Galore!!


So well, it's the middle of the week. I was dreading the coming of this week all for the simple fact that this just means that my FINAL EXAMINATION is just around the corner.
Monday marked the beginning of the sessionals for Batch 17. I was all tensed and stressed about it because I felt like I knew nothing *and I still don't* going in for it. Monday was medicine MEQ day (includes Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Primary Care Medicine and Ophthalmology). After a 3 hour along paper, I came feeling not so bad as I was able to answer most of it and of course making a few silly mistakes here & there. Not to say that I am being boastful but compared to how I felt when I entered the exam hall, coming out was like a sigh of relief. But I knew that MEQ 2 which was surgery subjects was gonna be a whole different story. Surgery subjects constitute General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Anaesthesia, Otorhinolaryngology *sounds more high-fi ain't it?*, Orthopedics and Obstetrics & Gyanecology. Horrible subjects, I tell you, HORRIBLE!! So much to read about in so little time. * Yes yes. It is my fault to do it so last minute. Bluek!!*
So after Monday's paper, I reach home and thought that I would get some sleep before I start studying as it was gonna be a 'burning the midnight oil' kinda night! Next thing I know I wake up to be greeted by a dark sky and a clock saying it was 8.30pm!! Talk about an extended sleep!! By the time I pulled myself out of bed and freshened up it was almost 10pm. I had like plus minus 10 hours left. So with the help of Redbull and Choki-Choki I tried reading *more like flipping* as many pages as I could. Soon it was time for me to leave for the examination hall and to cut it short, the paper was awesome!! I kept laughing to myself after reading every single question. Almost nothing I read came out!! * Yes I know I didn't read everything but still - NOTHING??!!*
Today is a free day. Tomorrow we start our MCQ papers. Hopefully that will go a bit better. *Oh who am I kidding right? That's gonna suck too* I'm looking forward to Friday because after that last paper I'm homeward bound for the weekend!! Wish me luck!! =P

24th of July 2010

Yesterday marked the end of my clinical posting in medicine school. After 5 years of what-seemed like it would go on forever, of medical school I finally can see the finish line. Whether I will make it across the finish line or not is another story but I can see it.. Starting from today its gonna be massive studying and studying.. That's the plan. How much I will adhere to it is still questionable.
That being said. It's now 1030am so I think I better get started on that studying stuff. I will try my level best to blog every now and then.. =D To all my batch mates, Good luck guy for sessionals and finals.. We are a good batch and we will graduate out of this miserable place!! Let's do it!!

AFTER SO LONG!!

It sure has been a loooong time since I wrote to myself * I say so because nobody reads this. =_=* That being said, I find it therapeutic that I am able to blog/write things that I would say out loud if I had someone who would just hear.
Wow! Where do I start?? So many things have happened. Things that I thought I have gotten over now show a glimmer of hope and suddenly I find myself back in square 1. Sometimes I just feel like yelling. Is it just me or do things always happen during exams? It's been like that since Manipal. 1st year finals I had that amazing breakdown. 2nd year I can't remember what happened but I do remember getting ready to repeat a year. 3rd year *back in Malacca* was LOVE!! Smack right in the middle of my sessionals, within days I realised I was in love and at the same time realised it would never happen. The only logical thing to do was to get over it, which I still am!! Great right!!!
And now!! the amount of problem I am getting is simply amazing!! Every single week is something new.
I really need to focus and get my degree. Once that is in hand, I would be a huge load off my mind. I need a fresh start! Really very badly need one. Looking forward for the day when my blog will have happy and exciting blogs by me rather than emo-fied ones filled with sorrow and hurt! Hopefully it comes soon... =(
