    Me neither! Funny how I was much more present during exam time... I'm good how are you?

    How are everyone's personal statements coming along? Mine is nearly done, and it's sounding a lot more like me talking now, which I like
    Aha that's so true, I think I am a true procrastinator :ninja: aha

    I'm fine, just a bit tired of school, glad it's over this week. Then gotta get cracking hard with UKCAT prep! I've also got to get a move on with my PS - only done about a third.
    (Original post by ameelia22)
    Likewise, it was habit before and during exams, needless to say, i'm back and i'm bad baby. How's your PS and that? Booked your UKCAT for...?


    Mine's not till way out in the last week of August but i'm beginning to think i need to reconsider because what if I do peak too early...(although QR will currently be the death of me)
    Its funny isn't it! Its going okayish, happy with what I've written although its only a third. Gotta get cracking with it and my UKCAT prep.

    I was thinking of booking mine for the 14th of August but thinking about it now, I might delay it till maybe 20-25th. Get in a good week or two after the Olympics of prep then I should be alright to go.

    Hey Natalie, I'm good how are you?

    I recently did a Cardiology placement - was really great to experience the whole ward round and moving around as part of the team of a consultant, SHO and FY1s. Making me so excited for when we finish medical school! Aha. And I really like the hospital I've done my work experience at - if I do end up in London I'll definitely be applying to work there :yep: of course, I'll probably change my mind when I see all the rest haha.

    Are you still at school?! :eek:

    We broke up last Thursday, but I had the whole of last week off because of DofE

    Get in a good week or two after the Olympics of prep then I should be alright to go.
    Have you got tickets?

    I actually can't believe that the Olympics are so soon; knowing Britain, it'll probably be a massive pile of ****

    its 25 pounds for 1770 questions, they have around 750 AR questions, so well worth it IMO, especially if you struggle at AR, its not as hard as 600Q, but not too easy. Very user-friendly too (except flagging questions, that needs checking)

    Id say medify+600Q+UKCAT mock should be enough practice to tackle the real thing! (atleast, i hope so )

    I don't mind histology too much.. well once the cells start to not all look the same at least.

    Ethics is the worst at the moment.. thankfully it doesn't come up much.

    Well you'll cover a lot of psychosocial crap in FunMed with the PBLs.. but you don't need to work that out, you can just wing it on the day.

    I'll give you an example: Father and daughter (young) have achondroplasia (long bones don't grow as much as they should, so it's dwarfism), mother is normal. What issues can this cause the family?


    :yawn:
    Ethics I find interesting and not bad at all :dontknow:

    Winging sounds good :yep:


    Ah :wizard:

    (Original post by ameelia22)
    I'm working on finding some more fun stuff. I read Bad Science which was OKAY in terms of fun-factor.

    OOh, what you getting pierced? I'm thinking helix next, but i'm a bit concerned how im going to have to take these all out at some point in terms of looking professional...
    Sounds like a plan :yy:

    Hopefully my nape, belly button and a second ear piercing. Torn between helix and anti-helix so I'm leaving it be for the future Yeah haha I know what you mean. I really want a nape and the average time for cape piercings lasting are not very long so I thought I might as well Problem is I wanted a Sankofa on my nape as well so it's been hard deciding which to get :erm:

    Thought I would let you know.. if you are considering applying to either of the Peninsula universities (Plymouth or Exeter) then they will welcome any additional letters/references.

    Thats not to say it will help your application, but in the same light it may just tip the balance for a selection. Unlikely! But always possible.
