DAY 166

Feb 14

1) Today has been a typical study day for me. I woke up reasonably early, had my breakfast before coming over to RCSI for our first lecture. Today we had our first Healthcare Symposia, which is when a patient (in this case, someone living with epilepsy) is invited to give a talk about their condition and how they are coping with it. Based on all their shared experiences (total = 8), we are required to complete our portfolio for ICP (Introduction to Clinical Practice).

2) After that lecture, my friends and I went to Subway to get sandwiches. Apparently there was an offer - buy 1 drink and get a sub FREE - which really appealed to us haha. Lunch covered, for only €1.95, plus I got a new bottle too XD The rest of the evening was spent attending more lectures, and going for the last Passport for Success (P4S) programme, which taught us how to network successfully.

3) I did not return to the library after that, but instead went up to the Nightingale Lecture Theatre, where we would be practising for our International Night. Rehearsal started at 6.00pm, and we made some good progress today. I decided to remain in RCSI until they closed, studying and idling about in equal parts, before walking home later that night. That is all for my blog update today, and I hope you enjoyed it. Have a great day, cheers!

DAY 165

Feb 13

1) Today was a very long day for us. Essentially another 9-5 lecture, and for some of them there wasn't even time for lunch! This isn't really healthy haha. Anyway, we had so many lectures, from REGUB, GIHEP to HBPS, and two P4S (Passport for Success) programmes. For me, I had my Small Group Tutorial at 4pm, which means I had to skip the last P4S programme.

2) To top it all off, the website where we download our lectures and timetable (called MOODLE) had gone down. So many of us had no clue of the upcoming lectures only until the very last minute. Fortunately, the problem has since been rectified, so it's all systems go again.

3) After what was essentially a full day of lectures, I was more than happy to pack my stuff and head to the library. Had my fried rice for dinner soon afterwards, and here I am trying to sort out my life haha. I have a lot of things to sort out, from appointments to projects and assignments, so I'm hoping to get all this done soon. Here's to more hoping XD That's all for today's blog update, and I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading, and have a great day. Cheers!
