Block 4 theory papers are over. Practical exams start tomorrow and end on this saturday. There's a viva voce session for microbiology on next monday. After that, STUDY BREAK is officially started once viva session is over then UNIVERSITY EXAM. LOL.
Experience of being a medical student is great, including when dealing with exam, stress, disappointment, or even at the verge of giving up when try to cramp in everything into your brain during last minute study and etc. When I was a kid or even till high school, I think it will be very cool for someone like me who like to have so much fun and playful to be a doctor in future. In my impression, those who saying wanna become one is either very NERD, very obedient to parents, never go out "lepak" or some not even joining co-curricular activities in the school and one more thing, most of their parents are teachers. Their life were just about coming to school, sit in class, attend to tuition class and stay at home. Like I said before, some of my friends mentioned that I do not looked like I have a mum who is a teacher. By the way, I took that as compliment. My parents left most of the decisions for me as I'm growing older. They're just simply trust me. And I swear, I never misuse that.
After entered college, I was still playful but did make some changes in attitude towards studies. I know future is in my hands. The thought of becoming a doctor was more to interest instead of COOLNESS. Plus, I do feel different when I see little animals, kids and ill people...Don't laugh, it is true. Okay, back to present, is not like I do not like "playing" or "having fun" anymore, the position I'm in (as a student and good daughter) and the course I'm taking just simply do not allow me to do so. Seriously, I admit I do not have the capacity to handle all this. So, choice must be made. Studying medicine is seriously, simply not easy. For those who consider entering this life long course and career, think properly and take some deep consideration before making any decision. And for parents who want their kids to be a doctor, think for THEM as well. If it is what they like and what they really want, it will be great.
Though I've said so much, I do not feel regret at all for taking this path. Although for time being, I'm still in doubt whether I will be a good doctor (with brain and with heart) in future. I know medicine is more than that, more than just passing examination. In these two years, I've learned a lot, not just knowledge wise but other aspects as well. Another 3 years to come and I'm willing to strive for what I want.
Morale of da story, all medical students are NERDS, they have to be NERDS, no exception. No worries, NERDS are still COOL. Hahahaha.
p/s: came about this quote at a friend's blog and I like it. "We have so much needs in our life, but at the end of the day, all we need is to be needed."
