Time to breathe... and revise.
Hello,
Graduation, Tingewick, and midterm assessments are now all over. Graduation involved listening to some latin, bowing in three directions, eating lunch and having photos taken. Tingewick was sold out and got good reports, and hopefully raised a lot of money for charity (last year it was over £13,000). And the assessment went well too - unfortunately it's already time to start revision for the next one, at the end of term.
This week is amazingly quiet after the panto every night last week - it's a novelty now to not have to spend several hours wearing a pink elephant costume in the evenings. Most undergraduates have now gone home, but some of my college friends are staying up to help with interviews or to get work done, so I won't be completely surrounded by medics!
The pathology course lectures are still interesting, although the number of tumours we need to learn about is getting slightly excessive, especially where the classification systems are similar enough to be confusing but different enough to involve a lot of memorising. This week we're doing brains, which is good for me since I spent all of last year doing neuro. We've had a few patients brought into lectures, which adds variety and helps to make concepts memorable.
And tonight, we have a medic's carol service to give us all a little study break...
