The Emergence and Varsity
January 28, 2014
Just give me a second. That’s it, was just shaking off the rustiness! It’s been nearly 4 weeks since I last blogged. I can only apologise and put all the blame on exams. Between the last blog and this one I have been through the exam equivalent of the 5 stages of grief. Denial Yeah …
OSCE (oz-key)
January 20, 2014
Some of us have written examinations, some of us have online examinations and then some of us have OSCEs.. OSCEs are the objective structured clinical examination. Sound like gibberish to you? Well me too. Luckily you have me to explain what an OSCE is all about, especially since I’ve just been through one today. I …
The soundtrack to my revision
January 16, 2014
I am lucky enough to have already finished exams, but I know a lot of people are still revising, so I won’t go on about it, much! During one of my many procrastination sessions I decided I needed some musical motivation and made a list of my 10 favourite remixes of 2013. So here’s that …
Ladding in London
June 19, 2013
Do you like Shakespeare? Do you like Merlin? Then you’ll love seeing Colin Morgan as Ariel in the Tempest! Points to anyone who got this reference: So I had a lovely weekend visiting my friend Carrie-Anne in Maidenhead I slept in one of the most comfy beds I’ve ever slept in: Ate some of …
Freedom in Pictures
June 5, 2013
At this moment I’m eating a chocolate cookie, dipping it in a cup of tea, sitting in my pyjamas in bed. Can you picture it? It doesn’t take a lot of imagination really but this is my less than adventurous image of freedom. It must run in the family though as this week my …
So Nearly There
May 31, 2013
I’ve been at home for nearly two weeks now. In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the best of ideas as coming home is usually more like a holiday than a time to revise. Maybe I would have been more productive if I had stayed in Nottingham. Nevertheless, I’ve enjoyed revision breaks of playing with my baby …
We are the Champions
May 29, 2013
To all those revising, head on desk, bloodshot eyes, shaking hands – I salute you. I am aware that you are enduring torment so that you might achieve, and that for you freedom is currently the light at the end of a distant tunnel – somewhat like the escape from Shawshank. My thoughts and prayers …
Your-Revision Song Contest
May 22, 2013
Well I am in the thick of exams at the moment – 1 down 3 to go! It was also the Eurovision song contest last weekend (so bad it’s good) which I LOVE and that was a lovely revision break. For me, the winners were Greece with this beauty ‘alcohol is free’: But I’m glad …
MayFest!
May 21, 2013
Now I know you’re probably only reading this because you’ve exhausted all other forms of procrastination and you’re desperately trying to think of things you ‘need’ to do/check/read that are unrelated to whatever topic you are currently supposed to be revising (or you’re one of those very lucky people with no exams and you just …
Good Luck!
You know its revision time when you emerge from your prison of a room to find all the lights out in your student living room at 9.30 on a Sunday evening; typically prime house bonding time. Theres an tangible tension that fills the house and the only sounds that can be heard are the tapping …
