Well maybe I should start by saying that I only have 4 weeks left in med school! Yes 4 weeks only and I really don't know how to feel about it!
I am excited to finally be working next year, terrified about the fact that I'm going to make real decisions about patients, sad that I'm leaving med school and a huge load of different emotions!
5 years in med school and it'll be over soon... I just can't believe it!
I still remember the first day. There was transition camp which was supposed to help us making the transition to med school easier and also allow us to make new friends and everything... Oh the memories! How sweet they are :) Of course, there were bitter ones too but I am happily willing to let them go down the drain :)
I still remember the first time I had to do a power point presentation! I felt so proud of it after I spent hours on it and little did I know that I would spend the rest of my 5 years doing such presentations! And well, I'll probably spend the rest of my life making them anyway too...
I remember the time when I bought my stethoscope...Navy blue of course :) I went with the idea of buying a black one but when I saw the navy blue, I felt completely in love with it! I had to get it for sure and felt so happy just holding it :) I felt like a doctor somehow...
I remember the first time I step into the wards and into the OT. Well honestly, I remember more of the OT, it was a laparoscopic surgery and I had no idea what was the procedure called or even what the surgeon was doing but it felt so great to be just standing there with a mask! Typical junior medical student! lolz
There were so many first times in med school that I will always remember and unfortunately so many last times as well... Last time I walk from my studio to classes, last time I skip classes, last time I have lunch at zz, last time I go to the student doctor shop or the last time I see the hospital...
It will soon be time to close this chapter of my life and to start a new wonderful one but I can't help looking back and feeling sad that med school is indeed over! Most adults I have met have told me that uni days are the best days in one's life and they may probably be right...
I'll miss being a med student...
