I deleted my previous post because I thought there was something weird about it so I decided to retype it. And I also realised that I have a penchant for blogging at such unearthly hours. I think it's easier to sort out your thoughts when all is quiet. Anyway, today was rather fruitful. The entire day was spent on university admission talks and whatnots. I went to NUS in the morning and the journey there made me realise that I have to get a car when I get into university. Anyway, they had this sharing session by the med students and I thought it was very beneficial, much better than the one we had in school before the A levels. The seniors were sharing about the application process and gave us really helpful advice for the portfolios/interviews/essays. Apart from that, they also did share about their lives as a med student, from subjects that they were taking to attachments in hospitals and I thought it was very interesting (though they did mention that the exams were very stressful) And oh, the entire faculty building looks rather cool and they are even building a new facility which is due for completion at the end of the year.
Today's talk pretty much confirms my decision to pursue Medicine (provided that my grades are good enough for it) What attracts me most is how closely knitted the entire faculty is. I really like the kind of home-ly feel at school because it wouldn't be so stressful knowing that you have people supporting you. So I'm leaving to God as to whether I can get into Medicine or not.
Till then.
