Studying

Studying for the seventh exam in a row turned out to be quite difficult. 
My brain goes off too quickly, I fall asleep too easily and my coffee doesn't work as it should.
Plus I have no idea why on Earth I haven't used my favourite mug today to prepare my first morning coffee.. Why, why, why..? I'll tell you why!
It seems like I just had to take The Shaky Mug, make coffee and then spill it all over my notes..
Great...

I need to remember to sort out the paperwork about my summer job...

The time before The End

Not much time left in this place, at this Univ. Two exams left, Forensic Medicine and Paediatrics.
And I'm glad.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but as soon as I'll become a doctor, I'll begin working not as a medic. I have found a job as a Live-In Carer and at the moment I'm organizing my last documents before beginning the whole training and the job.

One of my colleagues told me to quit it before I'll sign any papers cause that kind of job is simply just not good enough for me.
I see his point. Everybody could said "I am a doctor. I'm not going to work as a HCA.", but frankly I am asking "What kind of doctor am I actually?" And the truth is I'm no one.

Newly qualified junior doctor without the right to possess full registration at the GMC. I am no one until I'll finish my internship. So what kind of job can I do?
Besides, I am not a Princess nor a bigwig, so why can't I work as a HCA? I honestly can't see the reason why I shouldn't try.

I do know though that it might turn out to be a bit difficult for me to deal with this job, not physically but mentally. I have already heard a little bit about the man I'll be taking care of and no doubt  it'll be quite demanding task.. Yes, I must admit that. However, I'm going to try myself and put myself into this challenging situation. Anyway, we'll see...

All of this does not change the fact that I can't wait 'till my plane will land in the UK again, 'till I'll hear BBC News and I'll buy some British magazines and begin improving my English immediately :)
Let's hope for that :)

Nothing alike

Lately I haven't been following much other blogs simply beause I've been concentrated mainly on my studies, exams, being all stressed out and thinking about attending and not attending our graduation party in October.

I have to say, when I saw that there is a nice hotel next to the restaurant where our party is going to be organised, I thought it is another fact, which nearly convinced me. I say "nearly" cause I've made up my mind when I saw that on the groundfloor of the hotel there is a hairdresser & beautician :p :) Yep, now I can join the Graduation Party :p


What occured to me lately is that one of the Junior Doctors, who used to write a lot, got busy so much since she started working, that now she's posting something once a month or so.. The same thing happened with my "E-mail-Friend", who begun his F1 year in August 2011. It looks like they are pretty busy there!
It is a bit scary for me but at the same time I'm thinking about how much they learn there every single day..!


So I begun thinking about what I am going to do during my internship and.. frankly.. if I do not have a plan for myself and if I do not keep myself busy at work, I am going to finish everyday around midday and no one is going to care about it..
Now I've realized why my friends kept telling me that UK and Polish internships are nothing alike..


Nevertheless, I have a plan for the next 12 months of my life. I'm glad.

Distraction

Sometimes it is surprisingly easy to distract me. Especially when I fall in love with someone for a week or two. Personally I hate these days and I've been trying to avoid them as much as I could - you're unable to concentrate and study effectively, you cannot focus on your goals and suddenly you do not want to get up at 7 am. Instead, you prefer to stay in bed and dream.. dream.. dream about all the things he or she said and did..
Horrifying!!!

It cannot happen to me again..!

What should happen is to pass the rest of my exams. I've managed to get quite satisfying grades in Orthopedics and Anesthesio.. I know already I've passed Psychiatry and Oncology, but I've no idea about the mark they gave me. And I have three exams to go: Family Medicine, Forensic Medicine and Pediatrics. The last one will be the worst one... Step by step - that's the plan!

Successfully I've managed to hear some news about my job for the summertime and I am organizing all the papers and documents, everything should be ready before July, so I could begin my work ASAP.

I still haven't changed my mind about my Life. It is messing around with me pretty much and I am too tired to fight with it and whatever it'll bring me.
