An Intro: Just ME

Well I guess this is more for my own personal gain than for anyone's amusement however, here goes. I am another prospective medic who wishes to document his long challenging journey into what will hopefully be a medical career.

After failing to gain entrance to 2010 entry medicine, I shall be taking a gap year and reapplying in 2011 and thus this blog shall document my experiences over the interwebs. Well currently, I am a year 13 student studying Chemistry, Biology and Geology (which I despise with every fibre in my body) at A2 level. I have my exams upcoming in a month, for which I am revising ridiculously hard for, and sometimes I feel like I shall never make it to the end.

In regards to my gap year, I have organised a few things already so that I am not being a complete bum at home for a year. Thus far, I have secured 2 work experience placements at hospitals, one with an orthopaedic surgeon and one with a cardiologist, both of which I am looking forward to. There is also a chance that I shall be travelling to Brazil to do some volunteering with some friends in the summer of 2011.

My hopes for my gap year include having a lot of fun, and making a lot of money. Shallow (and rather obvious) I know but I would hate to finish my gap year knowing it was a waste of time.

I apologise to any readers, most likely myself, for this poor blog seeing as it is very early in the morning and I am watching some Tim Minchin and thus this has not received my full attention. I hope to post here regularly documenting my experiences throughout my gap year as well as my next application process in 2011 (and hopefully onwards as a medical student....fingers crossed).

Peace out and have an awesome frickin' day dudes!
