lacyjae tagged me with: "Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 random things, facts, goals, or habits about yourself." It does go on to say that I should tag people as well, but I'm not going to do that - if you would like to do this, feel free! :)

Okay, so, ten random things about me:

1. I find coming up with random things about ( Read more... )

The written paper for IPE (that I've already spoken about) was on Monday the 25th of February. Unfortunately it was only half of the exam! The other half was the OSCE, which was a significantly more daunting prospect than the written part of the exam had been. OSCE stations are such that you cannot just dump everyone in the same hall (there's more ( Read more... )

Further to yesterday's entry:

The Intermediate Professional Examination (IPE)The GP block was in the run-up to IPE, and in some ways I was lucky, because although the GP block days were intensive, there was not a huge amount of homework (unlike with most of our other blocks), and additionally I got long lunches when I was at the GP surgery because ( Read more... )

I have once again got to the stage where I'm planning Livejournal entries in my head and berating myself for not updating more often. I like this way of recording my life so I don't know why I neglect it quite so much ( Read more... )

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I ran around in the dark outside with a sparkler, and it was so beautiful; it was like waving a little bit of magic around in the pitch black.

I hope that this magic brings what everyone so deserves this year. :)

My love. ♥

So, I am off to Bournemouth for a week with my family (and Eric!), so that almost certainly means no internet. I will be glad to go; getting ready for a holiday in this family is a complete nightmare/stress/etc ( Read more... )

I feel stuck in that place between having not enough to say and having too much to say to find a place to start. However, the urge to do at least some sort of livejournal entry has become progressively stronger, so I do feel rather compelled to at least have a go. This means, of course, that this is going to end up a long entry! :D

Medicine:

It was the first day of our new block, today. Just started cardiorespiratory, which is going to be a whole load of hard work. I should talk, at some point, about how medicine is totally screwing me over for having decided to do a BSc. Huh. Complete mess, which isn't going to make it any easier for me to pass important exams ( Read more... )

I have now lost a stone, in total.

Yay! :D

So that's another five lbs in about five weeks; I don't think that's too extreme.

I'm so chuffed. :D

I was watching Casualty for about five minutes in passing tonight (Casualty is like a very tame British version of ER - it's been around since 1986 and it's very sweet; I grew up on it but only very rarely watch it nowadays) and there was this rather amusing joke that I wanted to share ( Read more... )
