I’m resuming my online journal on a new thread because I’m too lazy to dig up the old one.
Monday, 12 November 2007
Did most of the calculations for my biochem report
Attended 2 lessons
Did 5 hours of lab work
Read 20 pages or so of gross anatomy
I'm not so happy about my performance today
--------------------------------------------
Tuesday, 13 Nov 07
1st read embryo - cardiovascular, respiratory
2nd read embryo – body cavities, digestive system
worked on my biochem report
did some paper work
--------------------------------------------
Wed, 14 Nov 07
1st read blood and hematopoiesis

Bah forgot to call the tax office
Was awefully tired since I only got 5.5 hours of sleep

Thu, 15 Nov 07
Didn’t do much today…
Did a semi 2nd read on blood and hematopoiesis
My goal for the next week.
1. Process all the NeuN sections
2. stain 4 brains
3. finish respiratory, cardiovascular and renal physiology
--------------------------------------------
Fri, 16 Nov 07
God dammit, I fricking hate my school! blah. I long for the day when I'm done with med school and never have to come back again! Freaking bureaucrats, want me to follow anarchy? I’ll show you anarchy!
Anyways, did 11 hours of lab work today. Feeling pretty good.

Made quite a few stupid mistakes, guess its bc im tired.
Today has been a very productive day. 
--------------------------------------------
Sat, 24 Nov 07
Reread murmurs then did 144 Qs, 87% so it's getting better, still made few stupid mistakes. Guess the hard part is to stay focused the entire time.

I took a break from logging for a couple of weeks, in which time I had some time off. It seemed as if the more leisure time I have the more unmotivated I become and I start to slack excessively. So I did 3 – 4 days of soul searching and now I am confident to say that I am back with renewed energy and vigour and ready to push it to the max.
In the meantime, I have finished renal physiology, histology and did ~170 Qs

Thx. I’ve ditched my study partner since the beginning of this semester and as a result I don’t feel as much pressure. So hopefully this thread will straighten me up a bit.

Well things are not going to well, I recently discovered that an artifact screwed up half of my data, which means my project is potentially set back 3 months. Now I’m back on pilot study and redesigning a new method… well, it’s of utmost importance that I don’t give up – a champion’s true color comes out when the chips are down, when the going is tough and I know I’m championship material and I have to keep going.
I’ve pretty much covered everything there is to cover for this semester. From tomorrow I’m either going to study cardio and hemodynamic pathology + bleeding disorders OR do a total review of biochem. I still haven’t decided yet, so let’s see what happens.

Well, good for you that you are a tough guy ( in a good way ). I can't imagine what i would have done ( at least after teaching the administration a huge lesson! ).
I hope everything goes on well for you.
