1) Today has been a typical day for me. I brought my stuff to the library right after breakfast, and started studying. It's mostly anatomy that I'm covering, as that is one of our first exams for the finals. Took a break from studying to have lunch at the Mercer Cafe, before returning to continue.
2) In the evening, Melissa, Melvin, and I went for the launch of the 10th edition of the Student Medical Journal, which is a journal made up completely of student articles, by students and for students. That, to me, is amazing. As I'm sure everyone is familiar, writing research reports and academic papers is no mean feat, which is why it's a proud moment that we can boast of such a medical journal.
3) As part of the launch, there was a debate between two RCSI lecturers, on the motion "THBT Bariatric Surgery Should Be Made Available to Adolescents and Children". Supporting the motion was Prof. David Smith, while opposing the motion was Prof. O'Shea. After a very entertaining battle of wits between the two lectures, the audience voted - and the winner was Prof. O'Shea. But interesting points from both sides indeed.
4) Afterwards, there was a reception at the Board Room, courtesy of the Dean of RCSI, Prof. Hannah McGee. We chatted with each other and offered our opinions to support our stance. Then, it was back to the library for the three of us, where we deliberated on where to go for the summer. That's all for toady, and thanks very much for reading. Have a great day, cheers!
