neuro rocks my world

Hello hello!
Finally some time to breathe.. Today, the 20th of April, is Adolf Hitler’s birthday, and so we have a day off, and most probably tomorrow too.. Sorry for being a lil slow (alright, extremely slow) with updates and all.. I've been really busy and there's just no time to really sit down and post a blog entry.. I've immersed myself in the 'exciting world' of neurology, studying the brain and nervous system.. It's not as easy as it sounds though.. At times I find this subject daunting and stressing me out as there's just so much to study and memorise, but still i do enjoy what i'm learning..


Okie that's it for now, gotta get back to neurology ^.^

Ciao~

it's been a while...

After four months of cold winter, the sun is finally out, beating the drum of spring.. The snow and ice have started melting away, soon the plants will be springing back to life and turning green again! I’m looking forward to doing some outdoor activities that I have strayed away from for months!

The past 4 weeks had been dedicated entirely to internal medicine rotation, pretty much a hectic one, and I’m completely drained off my energy.. Been so busy with preparing for classes, clerking patients and writing case reports that I lost track of time completely.. Before I realized it’s already April.. Time flies indeed..

I’m so grateful to have Maria Lvovna as our mentor this semester..I do salute her.. No doubt she’s strict but thanks to her I have a better understanding of the natural history of diseases and the development, and there’s definitely improvement in putting diagnosis, and also ECG readings which is so essential in analyzing cardiovascular diseases.

It’s neurology rotation starting tomorrow, which will be for another 2 weeks and plus. Frankly, I’m pretty excited about it for it has always been a field of interest to me.. Guess I’ll have to work even harder for this upcoming rotation as it’s a really challenging subject. Just hope I’ll be able to cope with it, and even master it! ^.^
