Old news but...I'VE PASSED FIRST YEAR POST-GRAD MED!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Actually the most amazing feeling ever, because I felt so shit in the lead up and during exams. And I had no motivation, and just couldn't be bothered studying. So went in feeling like I knew nothing. This just proves it...ANYONE CAN DO MEDICINE!!! Ha.

But the way I got my results back was pretty ridiculous. Like actually homage to the name of my blog...truly tragic. We were told to check online for our results, and when I did, I saw I got a big fat F. And I was expecting it. Because I KNEW NOTHING!!!! But at the same time I felt pretty disappointed. So I sent an email to the first year coordinator, asking what sections I failed, so I would know what to study for the supp mid-January. She replied saying I would get an email from the faculty within 24 hours regarding it.

what is life?!

Took my new leather satchel out for a spin today. And boy-oh-boy did it impress!! I got compliments left, right and centre about it. It's a people pleaser :)

What a gorgeous colour

On another note, I have an anatomy exam tomorrow that I am completely unprepared for...yet I chose to make a gif that emphasises that!

SWOTVAC blues: I am a procrastin-otter

When I am meant to be studying the fetal development of various organs, I find my fingers mindlessly type tumblr into the URL bar. I can't help it. I am a tumblr addict.

Every time during SWOTVAC, I find that I get an extreme obsession with something. One year it was the new Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical "The Wizard of Oz", then it was "Love Never Dies". For my mid-year exams this year, I was obsessed with watching every single Ben Howard youtube video I could get my hands on, despite already watching most them. This time, it's otters. Yes. Otters. The cute little critters that are so cute and adorable, and super cute. Did I mention that they're really cute?

The first time I typed in 'otter' in the tumblr search bar, I got a little more than I expected. What I was expecting was cute little fluff balls floating about in water. What I got was a eyeful of male genitals. Needless to say, I dared not venture on to tumblr for a while...for a full 10 minutes. The next time, I typed in sea otters. Finally I was rewarded with cuteness overload.

SWOTVAC blues: bad life choices rant

I think I have made bad life choices. Really bad life choices. Such as the career I'm trying to pursue. I don't think I fully realised how much time and effort I would have to study, and the years of training I would have to undergo, to become a doctor. And I don't want to be just any old doctor. I want to be an Ophthalmologist, a doctor that treats eye problems. Once again...bad life choices.

And why do I think I've made a bad life choice? Purely because I am the worst student in the history of students. I haven't learnt anything all year. I don't go to lectures, I go to PBL tutes in a daze, and then I go home and watch TV shows, play candy crush, facebook stalk, and waste away my time on tumblr. That description made me sound really pathetic.

Right now I have the mantra that if I pass first year medicine, anyone can pass first year medicine.
