Essays, Essays, clinical placements and even more essays. That's what we have been through ever since I have enrolled. My social life is really at risk at the moment. This week alone I had to postpone a few friends from meeting up, and had two people asking me why I am being snobby to them.
It's so stressful that I don't even play video games anymore, I've taken on painting models to relieve myself from stress because video games can get competitive at times. Unlike all the other students who have 13 weeks in a semester, we have 21 weeks in a semester. Usually this is not really possible, but since this is an advanced course, nothing can be impossible. We start university 3 weeks earlier than everyone else and we end 3 weeks after everybody else. This means the holiday break that most university students take for granted do not apply to us.
The last week I went to POW for my maternity placement. It was very boring since I could not do much there. I got to see a lot of women breasts, but when you are see hundred's of them in a few weeks, breasts just do not appeal anymore. But I guess its still a bragging right that I have seen breasts and vaginas of women from 8-90, from all nationalities and of all sizes. Of course, I have seen my fair share of penises too. Ah well... it isn't a big deal to me anymore.
It could be the biomedical model of thinking thats getting to me, since the uni has been cramming so much of these theories into us. I hope I will never start seeing patients as a disease rather than human though.
