Just 4 hours of exams tomorrow and then I'm done for the year (as long as I don't have to resit!)

So relieved to be nearly done! At the moment not too panicky about the exam - this will almost certainly change tomorrow morning!

Canteen food is not concerned about your health.

You get to the canteen?

Takeaway option thus far in hospital jobs - yeah! Have realized not eating lunch is a false economy for me as blood sugar inversely proportional to my grumpy-ness/productivity! Also some dangerously yummy places like Pret/Wasabi in proximity that we would delegate someone to go to for team lunch.

But it may just be toast fuelling me on forthcoming Labour Ward...

I found my EM diet of fags, red bull and a seriously curtailed EtOH habit easily got rid of 10kg in 6/12.

I'm off to Belize(Central America) for 8 weeks. Have nothing sorted yet. If I'd failed my exams I would have had to cancel my elective to do resits.

Sweeet! (had to google it up, looks stunning).

That looks like a normal sized overdraft to me....

Went on a home visit to a woman with campylobacter infection. I'm now terrified by every twinge I have in my abdomen, I'm fully expecting explosive diarrhoea any minute.

On a nicer note this tumblr makes me laugh, bit American but still funny http://whatshouldwecallmedschool.tumblr.com/

One hour and several bouts of laughter cramps later...

I once got within £4 of my £1500 overdraft limit.

If you don't budget and go out every other day: you're going to have a bad time.

Into the last £50 of my £1000 overdraft limit

Completely agree with that last line.. managed to burn through far too much money in one year.. going to have to be more careful from now on..

[digitalis]

Christ. That is a lot of debt at such an early stage of your training mate.

Yeah, I got the hell out of dodge after graduation. Played guess the siren on the mile end road to my families amusement.

I havent been out of my overdraft (which is probably nearly double yours) since I started medicine. I dont know how people dont get into more debt. My student loan didnt cover my accomodation and fees no doubt anything else, i dont know where students are meant to get ther money from?

Not really.

Cos many many medical students have a lot of support from their parents, i don't remmeber the figure, but a massive proportion of medics don't even need a student loan.
As for me, i'm in about -£2500 and haven't been in the black since 1st year. Cannot wait to get paid.
(this is with a part time job throughout medical school also, which i just quit yesterday, HELL YEAH)

[xXxBaby-BooxXx]

I haven't touched my overdraft, as I get maximum student loans and £1500 in scholarship/bursary

This morning's exam was not brilliant, the afternoon one made up for it. Had a good ole question about EBV and the contraindication of a certain antibiotic! So glad we discussed it recently!

this is pretty much every week for me, I've come within 3p before, I've gone over twice and nothing happened (****ing direct debit ¬_¬)

*SIGH*

Congrats to those who graduated and passed exams recently! Facebook feed has been flooded with graduation pics, I'm finding them surprisingly motivating, as I wasn't looking forward to going back in September onto firms. Speaking of which, how busy are you with firms in 3rd year? I know it's 9 to 5, if not realistically longer, I've been told 3rd year isn't as hoop-jumpy and overwhelming as 2nd year.
