A girl's four years chronicle: day 269 | year 01

So I decided to get back to my old studying habits like using the pomodoro technique. It helped! In the morning I used 50/10 cycles and in the afternoon I noticed that I couldn't focus enough so I redused the cycles to 25/5.

I eventually fell asleep early, not because of the shakhshoukha, but because the last lesson I studied was hella boring.

هناك وطن ينتظرنا لنبنيه، دين لننصره، أجساد أعياها السقم تنتظرنا 💪🏼

Šiandien esu taip pavargusi! Aš nežinau, ar tai ir tik todėl, nes vakarai yra tamsi ir ilgėsni arba tik nes aš turėjau pilną tvarkaraštį... Aš praleidau vieną mano paskaitą nes man reikėjo bet truputi pailsėtis. Suomių paskaitoje rašėme testą. Laimei rezultatai neatsižvelgiami, bet esu supykusi nes vis dėlto, kad stengiuosi mokytis reguliariai supanikavau ir neturėjau jokios nuovokos ką dariau. Jaučiu kad nesvarbu ar stengiuosi ar ne, suomių kalba bus visiems laikams vienas storas WTF.

Manau...Aš žinau kad tai gal pagerės, bet tai yra demotyvuojanti. Pastaruoju metu man yra sunku priversti savęs kažką daryti.

I could make some progress in studies lhamdoullah !

I actually finished the respiratory chapter ( that's a big yay ) and now I'm studying pharmacology which is pretty fun.

I went back home for the weekend. I missed my people here <3

A girl's four years chronicle: year 02 | who's counting?

Hello,

No, I did not quit this challenge. I disappeared before the first-year residency exam because I was overwhelmed. The pressure and the difficulty of the lessons were too heavy on my heart to find a way to romanticize the process of studying. Even though this is the core reason why we, as studyblr users, like to share our experiences here, at that time it just felt suffocating.

Anyway, the good news is that I passed the exam and I’m officially a second-year ICU resident — alhamdulillah.

This second year has been very different for many reasons:

I’m more familiar with the place and the people at work, so I’m not wasting as much energy trying to adjust. I’ve also been able to explore new places and plan breaks more often, so I feel like I’ve had more room to breathe this year.

I have more responsibilities now, both during the day and on night shifts, I have to manage calls on my own.

So all in all, the second year is going well. The only downside is that I don’t feel like I’m learning as much as I’d like, but let’s blame that on my procrastination. Hopefully, I’ll get back on track here soon.

We welcomed 8 new residents, and I’m trying to make their experience a little lighter by giving advice and teaching when I can. Some of them have become really close to my heart.
