I am literally speachless. I have severe laryngitis after 2 days of studying and discussing old questions for the exam and then after drinking cold beer and talking so much with people! :p
It was worth it though :)

I guess all my closest friends and family know that they cannot try to persuade me to do something, because most likely I'll do the opposite no matter what.
After months and months of sending emails, applying for jobs, studying for IELTS and not getting the desired score, after considering all my options, I have finally became able to make a firm decision (I believe..) about my future :p

Firstly, not getting 7,5 from IELTS from each doamin (again..!) most likely excludes me from the eligibility checking period for the FP 2013-2015. So.. to do not extend the time during which I won't be working as a doctor, it occured to me that it will be better to become a fully registered doctor in Poland anyway, then begin working as a SHO while waiting for F2 2014-2015 to begin. In the meantime, I would have to pass an IELTS finally (!!!!!!!) and I have 13 more months to do that.. untill Eligibility Checking Period in July-August 2013.

There are always pros and cons of every decision, but generally I need to think about what kind of experience I want, I need and where and how I want to explore my career further.
But I still would like to work during the summer time.. and I hope I'll get the job which I've been already discussing with my future employer.

So I guess there will be more stories from Polish hospitals written in English. Everybody are welcome to read :)

Lately..

Short update.
My IELTS results could be enough for an internship in Ireland but probably won't be enough to make me a candidate eligible to apply for FP 2013. That's why I'll end up in Ireland probably or I'll have to be back to accomplish my internship in Poland. We will see..

I've passed Orthopedics recently though.. The next step is Anesthesiology.. Scary exam, cause the questions might be pretty surprising.. Plus there's simply no time to study again for that later..!

I'm still applying for a HCA job, but hardly anyone gives me respond for my applications. There are days when I barely can look at the screen and work in front of my computer, because of all this checking adverts and browsing websites..!

Well.. luckily I have only 2 weeks and 2 days at University to spend and six exams to go, yay! :)

What if..?

The more I think about the latest exam, the more I'm sure I'm not going to get desired result.. Damn.. However, I began to follow the recruitment for interns in Ireland and if anything goes wrong I'll end up in Ireland for a year.. hopefully..

My friend inspired me to read a little bit about doing PhD... abroad of course.. Well, I have to say I have a lot to think about. Firstly, what if I loose my permission to pratice medicine in Poland? Secondly, what if I want to do PhD in Poland? Thirdly, what if I decided to begin my PhD abroad while doing my Speciality Training?
Above it all, what if the world will explode?!
I mean, in that way I can think about anything and everything at the same time: buying an old and abandoned palace in Poland, rebuilding it and selling with profit; starting an interior design course; buying a house in London, marrying a famous person or starting a family. Life is simply too short to do it all!!!

For now I only continue to search for any job offers for newly qualified med students plus I can feel the atmosphere of exams, which are getting closer and closer each day..

Three Days

Yesterday.. For the second time I've tried to get from an IELTS exam desired result, 7,5 from each domain. Frankly, I've no idea how did it go. And I'm way too tired to analyse it. Too exhausted to think about it or to ask myself "What if I've failed?"..

Today, I've finally watched the latest two episodes of "The Voice UK", yay! :) First of all, I love that kind of TV shows in which everything is only about the music and second of all.. :))) ..my beloved Danny from The Script is one of the coaches and I just adore him :p I know, I sound like 13 years old teenager, but I just can't help it! :)

Besides, it's been only three days since I'm 25! I announce it everytime I can, cause I'm so excited because of getting old! I feel like I want to taste my juicy life every single day and make my dreams come true :)
So no matter how my exam went, I'm still going to begin my career in the UK, live there and enjoy a company of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish guys of course :)))

Seriously, when I listen to the music on the radio and I hear one of the British musicians and I read articles in English I begin wondering how long it will take before I'll end up in the UK.
