Medicine for Dummies

May 29, 2008

It may have taken 4 months but finally a lecturer explained the basis of medicine in a way that I can understand.

PACMAN EATS ALL THE BAD STUFF!!

Coincidentally this was actually the most complicated ununderstandable lecture I’ve had in a long time.

Brad no longer student but not anything else either

I went to see a careers counsellor yesterday, an hour and a quarter later I came out feeling that I may have convinced the trainee who was watching that maybe careers counselling wasn’t the best career choice. I warned them as I came in that I wasn’t gonna be easy, but I guess they have to get used to it.

I wish I could say I am now sorted with my life, but no-one who actually knows me would believe that. Still it helped a bit and I’ve got a lot more things to look into.

Now is the time for all of you who thought I shouldn’t have been a doctor but didn’t want to be mean to sound off.

Well it’s taken me 3 hours to write this much so I’m going to give up nd take a nap.

I’m out

May 19, 2008

Firstly, amazing weekend in Christchurch, Cam & Sash’s 21st was fantastic, it was really great to see everyone again, it has been way the fuck too long. Too anyone who reads my blog, it was great.

Thanks again Cam for letting me crash, and eating your foos, and stealing your clothes, even if it confused the hell outta Sash (I won’t tell if you won’t… just kidding).

Secondly, I’m not 100% sure but getting pretty damn close, it looks like I’ll be dropping out of Med school in July, guess it’s just not for me. I could explain the reasons, and I might at some point, just to sort my head out, but not right now.

Now I have to focus on getting through exams and trying to sort out what the fuck I’m gonna do now.

Any ideas?

Two useless phones and other uninteresting tidbits

May 2, 2008

So I’ve finished my mid-semester tests, and it hurt. I had two solid weeks of study, well semi-solid, I am still a master procrastinator.

Even so, I’m not sure how well they went, I’ve never walked out of an exam in my life without knowing that I got at least a C, hell I used to be pretty sure I had Bs or higher, and the thing is I actually put some effort into these ones.

Still, I could put more in if I felt like it, but it’s kinda hard to put all your effort in when the result of failing is actually just having one less life decision to make, I just can’t bring myself to care about getting full marks, we’ll see how I do.

On another note, nothing else interesting is happening in my life.

And now for my two useless phones.

So I have two phones one on Vodafone in which the keypad works and I can text easily and my really old Telecom in which the keypad is fucked but the calling is great. Together it sounds like I have all I need for a cellphone, albeit in two pieces. The problem arises because I have free texting on the phone with the broken keypad and free calling on the phone with broken calling.

Woot!
