Cover for June and July, because I forgot to make one for June...

I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve spent the past month in a new town for a summer job, living without wifi in my dorm (unheard of these days, but possible!) and having little other than nature and The Sims to keep me entertained.

It’s been over a year since I last posted. I’m no longer a fourth year mestudent struggling with psychiatry and neurology. This year, I’m on my last year. Back to internal medicine - and still struggling.

2020 has been hard, to put it mildly. A global health crisis in the form of a pandemic - are we really living through quarantine, isolation and daily news about the increasing numbers of Covid-19 cases? Worldwide?? It’s like a bad dream. And amidst it all, our daily everyday hardships continues.

Thank you! I didn’t really have a “plan” when I first started highlighting when reading my text books, but I found it useful to group things together by colour, because it made it much more visually pleasing. It also made it much more easier to look up things later on when revising, and it probably helped me to remember stuff too as it sort of forced me to mentally categorize what I was reading.

So that’s my tip. Here’s how I do it for highlighting:

Yellow: Key words, phrases, important citations, definitions

Pink: Names, e.g. people, enzymes, receptors, etc

Green: Theories, concepts

Orange: Bacteria, virus, etc

Purple: Medications

Of course, you can make up your own groups.

Hope everyone enjoyed their summer break! Hard to believe that it's September already.

I'm moving on from neurology to psychiatry this module. Still haven't finished those neurology notes though 😅 But I did rearrange my desk (somewhat). Hopefully this notice board and calender will help me stay a bit more on top of things.
