DAY 100

Dec 10

1) Today was another long day of studying for me. Woke up early to have my toast, and then did the laundry before heading to the library. I studied for a couple of hours, and then it was time for lunch.

2) Went to a deli (can't remember the name, but it's located below Subway) for lunch, and I tried their chicken ciabatta with potato wedges for sides Tasted really good and great value too! Came back to the library, where I spent the afternoon studying/ trying to stay awake haha

3) In the evening, I went to Burritos and Blues, where I sampled their Little @$$ Nachos. It was a meal on it's own, and I was positively full afterwards. Came back to the library, where I'll continue revising and covering as much as I can before our final paper on Wed. Can't wait for all this to be over. Anyways, that's all for tonight, and thank you for reading. Cheers!

DAY 91

Dec 1

1) Today was a typical studying day. Woke up early to have some toast for breakfast, and headed straight to library to begin studying.

2) Around noon, I went to Burger King for lunch, and tried their Lunch Deals for €5.75. Left very satisfied haha. Then it was pretty much revising until evening...

3) Had dinner at Burrito Blues, just opposite Boojum. I ordered a quesadilla, and had some Mexican fries as a side. I managed to choose the spiciest sauce though, and that instantly opened up my sinuses haha

4) Came back to the library. After a while, it was time for our second session of Laporoscopic Surgery Tutorials, under Mr. Cuan Harrington. Today, it was free and easy, so we were allowed to pick our own tasks and complete them, under his guidance. I did all five tasks, and so did the rest. Essentially it was a revision session from the previous lesson.

5) Had a lot of fun playing "surgeon" for a day. Apparently the tasks that we did are the same ones required as basic skills needed to become a surgeon. It wasn't easy that's for sure. Anyway, came back to library at around half past nine, and I plan to stay here for a while longer before heading home. That's all for today, and thanks for reading. Cheers!

DAY 42

Oct 13

1) Today was a really fun day. Woke up early to have breakfast, before making it to RCSI by ten. Lectures today were on different metabolic pathways, including those we studied in A-Levels, i.e. glycolysis, and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)/ Krebs cycle. It was fun learning stuff we had already learnt before, but now in much greater detail.

2) Had lunch at AK. Henry's. The queue was really long, but I did not mind waiting for my sandwiches as we had lots of time to spare. Two more lectures after lunch, and that was it for today! But the downside to the early dismissal is tomorrow would be my group's first card signing, and I am not very confident about it yet.

3) As much as I was nervous about card signing, I still wanted to join the running group tonight. So we met up at RCSI at 6.30 p.m., before running the usual route to Phoenix Park AND back again. Today everybody upped the pace, and I had to dig deep to keep up. Fortunately I was not left behind and managed to finish together, as a group. Post run, we had some of the tastiest chocolate caramel milk and strawberry milk that I ever had.

4) After sweating it out, I returned home to cook dinner, or rather prep it, since it was store-bought. Nothing beats a hot meal after a long, cold run haha. Anyways, cleaned up afterwards, and will continue studying to cram as much information as I can before the dreaded card-signing tomorrow. To top it all off, our first quiz is on Monday, which covers more than 40 lectures in total! No pressure then. That's all I have time for tonight, and hopefully you enjoyed reading this update. Cheers!
