A long long time
It's been a long long time...
Today is the start of my clinicals in SGH for musculoskeletal. The performance i had in my previous clinicals in TTSH for MS was pretty bad and that made me rather jittery for this current clinical. I will do everything i can to make sure i don't do as bad for this one...
Since i haven't been blogging for a long long time, let me update abit on my life.
The last clinical i had for 5 weeeks in NUH brought back some of my confidence of becoming a physiotherapist. It was the first time i think i didn't do too badly. It was also a pleasure to see the patients recover from my treatments. Of course, the other most important contributing factor is the support i get from my classmates working there. Though they were all from different departments, we met everyday for lunch and to go home together. We shared our experiences, good or bad, and we lament about our day or our supervisors.. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole clinicals because of all my friends there. =)
Next, still on academic. I had my exams last week, which was straight after my clinicals in NUH. I missed one paper because i was sicked. Now i had to take supp paper because of that. Couldn't mention anymore how regretful i was... This supp paper lies somewhere in between this current attachment i'm going for. I hope i'm going to make it for the paper because even if i fail, i guess i won't get another chance...
Following that, still on academic... 8 weeks ago, before my clinical in NUH, it had been a horrible week for everyone in my course. We had 9 assignments to hand in with 2 practical exams and 1 ICA all in one week. I'm amazed how we managed to pull through. Well, as for me, i didn't really pull through. I failed one practical exam and for that ICA, i studied 2 hours for it. Though the results aren't out yet, it will almost be miracle if i didn't fail that ICA.
I don't know what's the reason exactly but i can't stand continuous studying for even half an hour now. Mayb that's why my grades are falling. If i were to let this continue, i'm most probably not going to make it through this course.
I wonder.... if my academic life is no longer part of me... what else is left of me...
