Feels like 1000 lectures later and I'm still trudging along with what feels like 1000 lectures more.

Revision can be a hard time to stay motivated, as you spend all day behind your desk. Eyes sore, brain dead as you try to go over concepts again and again. You know it'll all be worth it in the end, that goal you're striving to achieve. Who said the journey would be easy though?

Procrastination has never been happier to spring free. And any moment of fun seems like precious time wasted, the guilt clawing at the back of your mind.

Sometimes we think we don't deserve to rest. But the fact remains that we need it. Often it's the reason you drag your eyes over the page a third time - take it as a sign that you need a break. To refresh your mind, body and soul. Take a walk, eat/drink something. Do something you love from the bottom of your heart. And after that, I'm sure you'll come back fighting strong.

So it’s been a hot minute since I last posted. Revision has been slow and I’m hella stressed right now. I feel so underprepared for my upcoming exams and I really want to do well. Also been battling some inner demons which is why I’ve been a little quiet lately but hopefully I’ll try to post as much as I can before my exams hit off.

Immunity has surprisingly been a great topic for me. I enjoy learning it and my professor was absolutely amazing with her little University and Star Wars analogies. I’ve been mapping out all my lectures to help me visually see how the immune system all works together and I think it really helps solidify my learning, especially as a visual learner.

YOUR GIRL MADE IT! I PASSED MY EXAMS AND I’M A THIRD YEAR MEDIC!

Honestly this academic year has been really bad and really tough for me and I’m just so relieved I pulled through in the end!

Semester 4 has begun and I’m 2 weeks in! Bought a new laptop bag, new highlighters and a folder. Had many deadlines to meet, so have been very stressed! But I’m really enjoying the reproduction module at uni, our lecturer is so sweet and has the best dad jokes!

Exams around the corner and guess who’s stressed and not prepared?! Going to try to make the most of it this week and prioritise the things I definitely need to cover. Wish me luck ✨

What are you getting up to this week?
