Re-calibrating!

Quick update...

So Paeds is not as bad as I thought! Now that I'm actually getting some teaching and involvement on the rounds, and now that I'm focused and 'in it to win it' it feels better. Have this drive to learn and live up to the best that I can be... the best that God wants me to be :)

First Impression

My first impression is that I hate Paeds...lol

It's just because today didn't go too good. I was on call with, let's just say, not the best group of doctors- in terms of those who will teach you.

So I just felt like an entire night of mine was yet again wasted; and not for lack of trying. We found these people asked what was going on, "hunted them down"- only to be told 'no, no'.

But hopefully tomorrow is better and my next on call I have doctors who are willing to take a little time out for me.


I keep trying to remember that I'm using this rotation as a new start for me (in relation to my dedication), and so I must keep my head up and press on despite these perceived 'delays'.

So, tomorrow WILL be better :) ...I resolve to ensure that my glass always stays half full.

Back on that Grind

Like I said it's been a year since I've been updating my blogs. So I decided to reread my previous posts...and I'm so not the same person. Even though Pathology was tough I was so determined! I was not satisfied to just be mediocre but now I'm not so sure that I still have that passion.

I am quite fine to just get by...and that's not me!

So I need to get back...back to basics really...back on that grind!

So here's to a new rotation and a new mindset...mediocre will NOT be an option.

I will be my best self.

Ain't Nobody Got No Time For That

It's been an entire year plus since I've posted. But who writes blog posts anymore? Better yet, who reads them? Especially mine.

But who cares? It would be a shame if I did....and so, I write :)

What has happened this past year? Any life altering changes? Nil.

'Cept of course, I'm a year further in medical school. Woopteedoo!

I've barely started and I already want it to end. But what else can you expect from a self-proclaimed delinquent like me. *chuckles*

Surgery rotation is over and I'm on to Paediatrics next! I'm already looking forward to the end of those 9 weeks...but only to be followed by Obstetrics and Gynaecolgy..Oh what a joy of joys that will be -_-

But look  how quickly a year passed by and I'm only now remembering about this blog. Hopefully my final year passes as quickly and soon becomes a distant but fondly remembered experience.

Room Decorations

Thanks to school these are my new wall decorations:





Hoping that seeing them everyday will help things to stick.. By the end of this rotation I don't think I will have any space on my wall!!

In other news, I had another pathology jeopardy session on Breast Neoplasms. Wasn't that bad, I got myself some money ( fake psychological money that is, wished it was real...but the psychological comfort is enough for now!)


Now, haematology is in full swing!! Have to brush up on ALL my knowledge! I think tomorrow I will have to discuss sickle cell anaemia and no doubt other disorders will pop up!


So my plate is full!! Have lots to do but by God's grace I will come out on top of it all!

STUPID ASSIGNMENTS!!!

When I say stupid, I mean that literally. Not in terms of 'oh man I have work' but actuallyy a stupid assignment.

This kind of stupid lol 

                                                                                                       

So as you know I'm on a rotation that has pathology...and well we are supposed to write a journal entry every day for seven weeks, including weekend (300 words min) about our path learning and we must 'reflect' and be ever so insightful.


Say what?!?!?! The first couple times I did it it was okay but I am uber annoyed to have to do it now. If it was about my day in general, I would be fine 'cause I'd definitely have stuff to say...but limited to pathology every single say and being all reflective is becoming a task. I have other work like Microbiology (which is fairly extensive) to do..

But as I said yesterday, 'One day at a time'. but I was just annoyed this evening because I had nothing to say and I didn't have the brain power to make up some convoluted reflection about Pathology...and it definitely showed in the entry I submitted.

So not looking forward to tomorrow's entry...that's gonna be awful!!

So MUCH to Do..So LITTLE Time!!

Story of my life.......
This course that I'm doing now is composed of anatomical pathology, surgical pathology, chemical pathology, immunology, haematology and MIcrobiology (and there's nothing micro about that!!)Assignments from each specialty....due almost around the same timeess!! Could be very overwhelming!But I'm taking one day at a time..as we med students have to do!
