Oh I see, so u don't have to smile the whole time. My friend is like you should smile all the time except when you are answering. :confused:


The only problem with that could be that if you're forcing a smile it could look false which might not be good. You'll probably find yourself naturally smiling because you'll be enthusiastic about it :smile:

I get you (but not really... cos I think maths is horrible :teehee:). In fairness, there are opportunities in medicine... e.g. you could go into research and analyse results and stuff, or do statistics, if you missed maths a lot. But that's a lot of medicine to get there. Yeah, I can imagine how confused you must be feeling :/


Haha, fair enough. I really want to be a doctor. I'm such a mess. lol I'm probably gonna suck it up though haha long term happiness is always better than short term. Besides, med school may be a million times more interesting than a levels.

Hehe. :lol:
I know, mera dusara reason medicine ko chune ke liye. :wink: Woah, thats a lot for the first year of starting work. :redface:
Ask around people or research more. You do have like 5 days of idleness till revision. :tongue:


:rofl: :five: Same reason for me lol. Yeah, exactly! I don't think I'm gonna start revision yet. I need to get myself together right now. :sigh:

Yeah, its just going to stress you out more, make up your mind before starting to revise if you ever do get to revising. :tongue:

if i did that, 1) i'd look a bit wierd and fake cause nobody smiles for that long, and 2) my face would start its wierd spasming thing it does when i smile a lot, which is why none of my school photos look good :tongue:

just smile when it feels natural and good to smile

I wish we could just do work experience whenever we were feeling doubtful/unmotivated to remind us why we're doing all this. :p:

The stuff covered at med school looks really cool... but somehow, when you have to study something, it mysteriously becomes less interesting :frown:

How is your app going btw?

Haha, same, I wish so too :laugh: I LOVED my work experience so much.
That COULD be it :zomg: I never HAD to learn maths you see because it was almost completely self taught. Out of the 10 modules I've done for Maths and Further Maths so far, 9 were self-taught :p: so it was never a matter of being forced

I'm sure I will get to revising eventually. I think I can stall though for a bit.

Thanks. I'm such a mess. Lol
I've decided that staying awake till 5am watching TV counts as practice for being up till 5am doing work for once I actually start med school :mmm:

:laugh: I'm really curious hownow (if I am though I'm still doubtful) lol

Haha no worries. Sounds cool, wish I could've done (more) travelling. I went to Namibia for 3 weeks with college at the start of summer but since then I've not done very much. I have a part time job in a nursery but I only get called in when I'm needed which atm isn't good because in 3/4 months I've had 4 shifts :redface: But my mum and another woman are going on maturnity soon so hopefully I'll steal some of their hours :colone: Should hopefully be a little more fun when the baby is here - paedeatric experience :laugh: Positivity is the way forward after all :biggrin:

I know I will, I'll be heartbroken if they don't mainly because of the rejection last year (moreso if I'm completely offerless again) but meh I guess life will go on :tongue: You sound like you really love Leicester, only another 9 months of relaxation until all the hard work begins! :tongue:


Apologies for the late reply - oh wow did you do the world challenge? Namibia seems awesome, I would love to visit Africa at some point. Congrats to your mum - haha 'paediatric experience' definitely. You'll get pretty attached to the little fella/girl, that might make the whole leaving for university slightly more difficult - but it is still medicine :grin:

'Positivity is the way forward' - I'm sure any med school would be stupid not to take you up on a place. You've had 1 interview - and you've got 2 coming up, that is definitely a good sign.

Ah - 9 months before Leicester, the time will probably elapse very quickly. Not really looking forward to the hard work just yet.

:wink:
