Ruth's Random Rambles - Weeks idk
This few weeks were difficult, I am sorry about leaving you here. But I hope you will forgive me my absence.
I passed all of my credit tests, now, there are only 2 exams left. Both in one week.
I could use this as a summary of the 2nd semester at medical school. Summer semester was a bit calmer than the previous one. Even though we got new subjects, anatomy became more difficult, but still, I think I enjoyed it as much as possible.
Anatomy lecture on monday morning. Still in online form. But the professor promised next semester lectures will be in present form in university aula. I like it there, the atmosphere, memories from taking entrance exam....aaaah. This semester we studied internal organ systems. GIT, respiratory tract, urogenital tract, muscles etc. I liked it more than limbs. They were way too complicated. I must say our teacher at practicals in dissection room was great! I am already praying she will be with us next semester as well. She explained and showed us everything we wanted to know, told us what is necessary to remember, what they usually ask at credit tests and exams.... One thing I didn't like during lectures was that professors examined us, asked us many questions. For someone else it might be fine this interactive form, but I prefer to study anatomy at once, not by parts. So I do not prepare, study for every lesson, but I study after 2 or 3 lessons everything at once so I have it more compact.
Medical English. I think it was waste of time. If we studied medical vocabulary, terms, it would be much more useful. But the way the lessons were presented, to me, it felt like English for elementary school. We played games, the tests were a bit too easy. The only "productive" thing we did was presentation. The topic had to be anything medical. At least I passed with A, so I don't have to deal with this anymore.
Medical Informatics. Another waste of time, but this time, the teacher and whole department was too strict and tried to make informatics centre of our studies at faculty. We took 3 tests, the last one I didn't pass, so I had to retake it on Friday. Really, who wants to retake test on Friday?! Also, another presentation during week 14. 5 slides were enough so I could "slack" it a bit. But it was nightmare.
Mondays evenings were all about sports and body forming. So I wouldn't miss 2 credits, I had to take sports. It was fun! Even though mornings after were hard, but really, the trainer was great and fun to be with, understanding, really, I can't say anything bad about sports :) At least I had something that helped to take my mind off of studying and school.
Biology. This whole semester was about genetics. For me, it was pleasing, because I like solving problems in genetics. The only thing that bothered me was that the seminars were a bit too long. But otherwise, I found it really fine and if microbiology will be in the same form as this subject, I might enjoy it as well. Also, there is exam in front of me, which I have to pass, so I hope I will have enough luck.
Histology and Embrylogy. Practicals were very good. The teacher was very nice to us, helped us with everything and I felt that she is professional in her field. We had this friendly relationship with her. Also during the practical exam which was yesterday, she was kind, calmed us down. Really, she has every trait a good teacher has to have. The lectures, to be honest, I could do without them. The professor just told us everything we found in textbook, no facts, no explanation, she just told us the whole book from the memory.
And the last, Social medicine. My opinion is that this subject should be taken later during medschool. We talked about different minorities, how we are supposed to treat them, about the support from state, how affected families can ask for help, about organisations and support groups. It was fine subject, but not for this young students, who will see real patient in 3 years.
So, this is my quick summary of this summer semester. I hope the exams will be fine and that I will pass with ease.
Let the next semester be at least as good as this was!
Enjoy your summer fellow students! <3
