no motivation for anything today, except that while I was on a run, a toddler went ”FAST!” and their mom ”yes she’s going very fast” and I’ve never had more motivation for anything ever

things done today:

??? sort of glanced at a project for 10 minutes

a run

[cinnamon-medical]

an excellent archaeology lecture and a deeply productive study session, yesterday was wonderful in that regard

i am exhausted now though, having had a full morning of therapy. putting myself to work now is a tad difficult.

Ruth's Random Rambles 2 - Week 3

Finally I can say that the days are flowing day by day much quicker. The question is if I have enough time to prepare for two really difficult exams after Christmas.

I kinda enjoyed this week, mostly because I prepared well for anatomy class, which lifted my mood :)

Some short tests were already taken, my opinion is that the score might be good.

Also I found website called studytogether.com . I was wondering for longer time about finding study buddy or joining some virtual study room. So I will give it a chance if it'll help me with finding more time to study, to focus more and be more productive. Do you have any experience?

Next week, there are short tests ahead of me about lymphatic system, about cinetics of enzymatic reactions and about arteries and veins of head. I will try my best to prepare well and not stress about it, because stress is unhealthy.

Stay safe!

Ruth's Random Rambles 2 - Week 2

Hi!

Only two weeks into school and I am feeling exhausted. Sleep deficiency, irregular meals and frequent anxiety attacks have huge influence on my health, mental or physical, as well as on my ability to focus and study.

Anatomy is slowly getting better and I'm less scared of it. Biochemistry is a bigger problem for me. Fact that I used to study at Faculty of Chemical technology does its thing - it makes me feel like 💩. I feel like do not understand a single thing.

Sorry this is really quick, but week 3 already starts, and I have to find new energy and will to fight for this title 🫠

All the best!

Ruth's Random Rambles 2 - Week 1

Hello and welcome to 2nd series of RRR :)

This year, I am in year 2 of general medicine at a university somewhere in the heart of the Europe.

I wanted to post summer special as well, so I could recap my summer and share my plans for the following year, but there was not much time for it, since it would request much more time to sit and think.

One week is already gone, only 13 more left. But I feel like this one week drained all energy that was left in me. Teachers already told us what they request from us and it would not be a "good" start of the semester if they did not remind us of what a stupid kiddos we are and that our social life is dead since we started university etc. It is frustrating and demotivating. During this first week I already had 3 anxiety attacks. Yes, it might seem like it is easy for me to talk about it, but it is not. I am always hiding my tears, even in school, I am constantly comparing myself with my much smarter classmates. I am always creating to do lists, but in the end, I have finished maybe 1/3 of all the tasks I wanted to finish, because it all takes much time.

It might not surprise you, I am thinking of quitting. or maybe just changing studying programme. Nursing could be fine, but I do not have any information about it. My family and boyfriend are the most supportive people I could wish for, but I can't say it about my friends. Since my friends are mostly from this medical environment, there is some rivalry between us. And I know, it is even my fault. I am very jealous of them that they studied more than me and then these attacks come.

okay, this are the most negative rambles I could ever write :D

I still have 5 weeks left to prepare for first credit test - biochemistry one. I still have no idea how I will manage it all, but I will try my best. I promise it to myself.

I hope the start of your semester was more peaceful and that you are full of energy <3 Love you all xx

➼ Languages and Linguistics

➼ My post-graduation goal is to be a translator

➼ I'm a 4.0 student currently, ideally I want to stay above 3.5

➼ I play a lot of video games

➼ I love writing (I posted a lot of fanfiction before school officially took over my priorities)

➼ I love music (I took formal lessons for singing for a long time and did community theater w/ classes throughout high school so whenever I watch live performances I always make so many comments about little things I notice sdhfgsh)

so that is the first week of the holidays: 26h 45min of work, 12(ish) things done, a lot of time wasted but a good look into how i should be doing things. i could have done a lot better in all aspects but granted it was the first week i was tired and getting into things it is understandable but not excusable. we will do better from now on tomorrow im waking up early to run and get my things done. feeling rather optimistic about next week though it is a bit ambitious as always but i will do what i can to cut down on all the time i waste here and there.

today’s positivity is having lunch with my dad and grandmother and then dinner with my dad who acknowledged my self improvement efforts which was like yes u r seeing it slay.

Ruth's Random Rambles - Weeks idk

May 20th, 2022

I am back!

This few weeks were difficult, I am sorry about leaving you here. But I hope you will forgive me my absence.

I passed all of my credit tests, now, there are only 2 exams left. Both in one week.

I could use this as a summary of the 2nd semester at medical school. Summer semester was a bit calmer than the previous one. Even though we got new subjects, anatomy became more difficult, but still, I think I enjoyed it as much as possible.

Anatomy lecture on monday morning. Still in online form. But the professor promised next semester lectures will be in present form in university aula. I like it there, the atmosphere, memories from taking entrance exam....aaaah. This semester we studied internal organ systems. GIT, respiratory tract, urogenital tract, muscles etc. I liked it more than limbs. They were way too complicated. I must say our teacher at practicals in dissection room was great! I am already praying she will be with us next semester as well. She explained and showed us everything we wanted to know, told us what is necessary to remember, what they usually ask at credit tests and exams.... One thing I didn't like during lectures was that professors examined us, asked us many questions. For someone else it might be fine this interactive form, but I prefer to study anatomy at once, not by parts. So I do not prepare, study for every lesson, but I study after 2 or 3 lessons everything at once so I have it more compact.

Medical English. I think it was waste of time. If we studied medical vocabulary, terms, it would be much more useful. But the way the lessons were presented, to me, it felt like English for elementary school. We played games, the tests were a bit too easy. The only "productive" thing we did was presentation. The topic had to be anything medical. At least I passed with A, so I don't have to deal with this anymore.

Medical Informatics. Another waste of time, but this time, the teacher and whole department was too strict and tried to make informatics centre of our studies at faculty. We took 3 tests, the last one I didn't pass, so I had to retake it on Friday. Really, who wants to retake test on Friday?! Also, another presentation during week 14. 5 slides were enough so I could "slack" it a bit. But it was nightmare.

Mondays evenings were all about sports and body forming. So I wouldn't miss 2 credits, I had to take sports. It was fun! Even though mornings after were hard, but really, the trainer was great and fun to be with, understanding, really, I can't say anything bad about sports :) At least I had something that helped to take my mind off of studying and school.

Biology. This whole semester was about genetics. For me, it was pleasing, because I like solving problems in genetics. The only thing that bothered me was that the seminars were a bit too long. But otherwise, I found it really fine and if microbiology will be in the same form as this subject, I might enjoy it as well. Also, there is exam in front of me, which I have to pass, so I hope I will have enough luck.

Histology and Embrylogy. Practicals were very good. The teacher was very nice to us, helped us with everything and I felt that she is professional in her field. We had this friendly relationship with her. Also during the practical exam which was yesterday, she was kind, calmed us down. Really, she has every trait a good teacher has to have. The lectures, to be honest, I could do without them. The professor just told us everything we found in textbook, no facts, no explanation, she just told us the whole book from the memory.

And the last, Social medicine. My opinion is that this subject should be taken later during medschool. We talked about different minorities, how we are supposed to treat them, about the support from state, how affected families can ask for help, about organisations and support groups. It was fine subject, but not for this young students, who will see real patient in 3 years.

So, this is my quick summary of this summer semester. I hope the exams will be fine and that I will pass with ease.

Let the next semester be at least as good as this was!

Enjoy your summer fellow students! <3

Ruth's Random Rambles - Week 12

May 7th, 2022

Hello!

This week was the last of these chill weeks. Week 14 is the last and it will sure be hard. Week 13 is going to be a little stressful, but not as much. At least I hope.

On Monday, I will take the last credit test in Medical Informatics and on Tuesdas in Biology. I think I will pass them with ease. The topics are not very hard to comprehend.

But I will have to prepare more consistently for Anatomy and Histology tests. These will kill me.

Also, I plan to skip a few classes, just like a proper student :D

I am sorry this post is so dry and short, but I just don't feel like writing this week. Sorry :(

Fact - I took this picture on the day of my entrance exam to medical school last year.

Have a nice week!

Ruth's Random Rambles - Week 11

Hey! It's been a week...

The weather wasn't warm or spring-y this week, so it kind of depressed me. During some lessons I felt sleepy because of it! (also took some super short naps)

On Monday I had the presentation for English class. I did fine, we do not get any points for the presentations, it was just so everyone could speak up in English a bit. The teacher found it creative that I put Megamind on first slide.

Tuesday means practical Anatomy class. We observed female reproductive organs. Also, our professor was very chill about it and even told us, where is the G spot supposed to be :D (if that stuff is real)

Wednesday was a very quick day, histology in the morning, then lunch, then social medicine seminar and lesson and it is already 5.30 pm!

Today, I had histology labs, which is probably the most exciting part of the whole week. Today's topic was muscular tissue which I find a bit complicated, but a little bit of practice will make it :)

How was your week? Do you already have some exams? I hope all of you are doing well <3

hi darlings.

I go back to uni on valentines day <3 to start my first year of postgrad. I was fortunate to get into all the programs I applied to and was able to go with my first choice. I'm somewhat anxious bc postgrad is so different compared to undergrad but I'm also extremely excited bc I feel like I'm getting to where I want to be.

I've been reading and watching silly tv and doing yoga and its been great. I've also been painting lately which has been lovely. I hope I'll be able to keep up these healthy and wholesome habits once class starts.

Hopefully I'll be a bit more active on here too <3

Snippets from these 2 weeks

Hello! How has this semester been for y’all so far? Mine is absolutely killing me I guess :’)

Almost done with immunology uworld blocks and FA hematology but I have no clue what to do abt uni lectures and I’m just, not feeling very good abt anything really lol

Also, please tell me I’m not the only one that ends up planning a whole lot of school related and fun activities for the weekend but then boom, figures I’m too physically and mentally drained to do anything but sleep 🤡 trying to keep up with art class though so there’s that

One of the biggest keys to surviving your 20’s is Learning how to move on. Move on from old friends, lovers & bad situations.

bought a new mug for my collection at the weekend, it’s an emma bridgewater design made to celebrate a historic cloth hall in my hometown. I love the tiny arches in the rim so much
