Graduate Medical Student, Baker and Survivor of Life
I can’t believe the first week of block two has finished, it has honestly flown by. The amount of information thrown at you in the first week is intense; you feel overwhelmed and any confidence you have often disappears during this week and you spend the next four years to claw it back.

It’s hard to believe that I am a fifth of the way though my first year of medical school.

My second week of medical school is now complete! A heavy week of lectures and information overload, it’s been nice to take the weekend to catch up on work without any more piling up on the to do pile. Fridays as always are definitely an adventure; the early morning 8am lecture is definitely not the… Continue reading Medical School: Week Two
My first week of medical school is officially over! It's been a tough week mentally and emotionally. Having to balance the vast input of information with the physical strain my body went under cycling to and from uni every day - definitely a new experience for me. I am happy to finally have gotten started,… Continue reading My First Week of Medical School
