“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” - Matthew 14:29-33 ⠀ How many times have we been like Peter? How many times have we allowed anxiety and doubt keep us from trusting in Jesus? Peter hesitated because Jesus was asking him to do something that did not make sense to him. However, Jesus never said that every time we had to trust Him it was going to make sense. We cannot live within the limitations of what we think is possible when we know all things are possible through Jesus. As A.W. Tozer said: “How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none.” So don’t let your anxiety limit your ability to trust in God. Let Him take control. Step out into the water, even when it seems to uncertain. He’s got this…there is no need to doubt at all. ⠀ My anxiety will have no power over me, and I will trust in You to give me all my peace. ⠀ In You I will calm down In You I will step out from the boat that slowly sinks from harnessing all my doubts. ⠀ In You I will let go of all those little things, That keep me far from You, and in anxiety. ⠀ My anxiety will have no power over me, and I will trust in You to give me all my peace. -Morgan Harper Nichols ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo

‪Tag someone and encourage them to keep the faith, and keep going!‬ ⠀ ‪Don’t be discouraged‬ because you feel like you have so far to go. Don’t be discouraged when it feels like your friends are figuring out things in their lives and you haven’t. Don’t be discouraged because your accomplishments don’t seem to match those of your siblings, your cousins or people you went to school with. You’re not going to have same story as the people on your left and on your right. You will face trials that you feel like you can’t make it through, but God will bring you through it. You’ll have to endure things that don’t seem fair and that are hard to understand, but the grace of God, your faith is only getting stronger. So, ⠀ Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. - James 1:2-3 ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo

Day before the last wave of exams. Hopefully I will do fine. Will be doing a day to day selfie post. Keep a lookout :)

Run for Your (Brain’s) Life!: Animal study shows how exercise may energize brain cell function

Even at the cellular level, we slow down as we age. Brain cells may stop producing enough energy to fully function. But researchers discovered that an enzyme— whose levels increased after mice ran on a wheel—may protect mouse brains from this energy loss.

As we age or develop neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, our brain cells may not produce sufficient energy to remain fully functional. Researchers discovered that an enzyme called SIRT3 that is located in mitochondria — the cell’s powerhouse — may protect mice brains against the kinds of stresses believed to contribute to energy loss. Furthermore, mice that ran on a wheel increased their levels of this protective enzyme.

Researchers led by Mark Mattson, Ph.D., of the National Institute on Aging Intramural Research Program and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, used a new animal model to investigate whether they could aid neurons in resisting the energy-depleting stress caused by neurotoxins and other factors.

My after school routine (on a busy night)

I finish school at 4pm daily and my commute home takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes, so I’m usually home for 4:20. (I also get about 2-3 hours worth of homework a night, but depending on the day and the teachers I’ve had I generally get it done in somewhere about 1.5-2 hours).

Food.

The first thing I do when I get home is either get a snack, or get a drink or get both. Today, I had apple and almond butter with water, and I would have taken a picture but I ate as I was making it so that was difficult.

To Do List.

The second thing I do at home is make a to do list (and take off my uniform and put my hair up). I have to wear a school uniform (in the way that all English schools do), so I always take that off, and sometimes I get a shower, too.

But I also make a to do list of all the homework and revision and just general things I want to accomplish before I go to bed, I try to make this realistic, but there’s often things that I have to leave until the next day. I generally do this on a mini whiteboard I keep just for this purpose.

Homework.

Once I’m changed and I’ve washed my make up off (if I’m not going anywhere), the first thing I do is my homework. I try to get as much out of the way is possible before I have dinner, because then I tend to have more freetime afterwards. I also often do my homework on the night I get it, because otherwise I leave it until last minute or forget to do it at all. I also usually do this whilst having a movie or tv show on at netflix on my iPad or laptop (right now I’m watching season 3 of Once Upon a Time, but this varies). I’m not actually sure whether I recommend this or not, because it does usually slow my progress but it makes work more bearable and I have will enough to actually do stuff whilst I’m watching it.

Dinner.

Family dinners are compulsory in my house, and the time slot for it is anywhere from 5:30pm to 6:30 pm, so I’ll eat dinner around these times and then return to homework, which is normally punctuated by cups of tea after dinner.

Extras & Tidying up.

I try to do at least 30 minutes of extra work a day, whether it’s schoolwork/revision or duolingo or Latin practice depends on the day, but if I have time I do try to fit this in. If I have the time, I’ll do more than 30 minutes, but it’s often 30 minutes or less. I also tidy up any mess I’ve made during my studying and revision time.

Shower.

If I don’t take a shower before I do my homework, I do this after I’ve finished all of the work I intend to do, and then I’ll put pyjamas on because it’s usually close to when I start getting ready for bed.

Freetime.

After my shower, I usually have anywhere from 40 minutes to two hours (more on a good night) to burn so I’ll watch another show on netflix or I’ll write or go on tumblr or something else just to calm down before bed (colouring in has also been a popular option recently for whatever reason).

Reading.

I always have to read before I go to bed, so I usually get into bed at least 20 minutes before I want to start trying to sleep so I can read (Currently: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas) and quieten my brain before sleep, because this is the main way for me to both calm down and do some reading.

studytip

This sounds productive. My current after school routine simply doesn’t exist. I’m usually very tired when I get home from school. This is something I really need to work on. If you know some methods of getting energy without napping (cause I can’t nap like a normal person for less than 3 hours) please message me. 😧😊

will give this a try!

Confidence

Sometimes... or most of the time, I underestimate myself on my capabilities. I bet a lot of us do that. I had years of training in biology since high school, yet if I know someone else's grade is higher than mine, I assume they're always right and I'm most likely wrong. But that's not true and I proved that to myself today. We have to remind ourselves that it's okay to be wrong and corrected but don't let that hold you back... don't be afraid... LEARN from it. And if you know, you got this GUT feeling, that you're correct, fight for it! Prove that you're right by disproving all options until you cannot disprove any longer which means that it is probably or most likely the correct answer. That... my friends... is how we achieve a higher level of thinking.

Found God, through studying medicine.

*I did not proof read this, I just kept on typing whatever was going through my mind*

First off, I am a believer in God, follower of Christ, a Roman Catholic...but I lack in prayer and attending the mass (even though it’s just 1 hour every Sunday). Sometimes I lose faith in God, or maybe it’s not really that I lose faith in Him, but I lose faith in myself. I tend to depend everything on Him, that he will always take care of me and everything without me having to do anything... making me a lazy person. So when things don’t go my way, I tend to blame Him and move farther away from Him. Then I’ll just run to Him again when all hope is lost and gone. I know that is wrong. But I’ve never got to a point where I completely turned my back on God, because there is a part of me that knows that He does exist and is constantly watching over me. He is guiding me to grow and realize things on my own to make me a better person. The other day, Edi and I were talking about what he realized about God while studying medicine. For those who don’t really know Edi, he is or should I say, WAS, an agnostic, and now is a believer but not in a sense of Religion, but believes that there is a God. He has faith. Edi was telling me about how beautiful the human body is. It is something that cannot be made spontaneously. It is so specific in how it works, and if something goes wrong, it becomes a cascade of wrong. He told me how amazed he is that from a whole human body down to its single cell and its functions is just too specific, detailed. It was thoroughly thought of. No scientist could have put this organism together on its own. Nothing spontaneous could have thought to organize it in such a way to even make its own decisions. How the body is able to fight away infections with its immune system. It’s just too extensive.

People nowadays, don’t really “stop and smell the roses”. We tend to just accept what is there without looking into its explanation. Everything around us is actually quite beautiful.

In ‘your face’ kinda feel

So there I was, and there you were. The day that I didn’t look so great... messy hair, oily face etc. Skipping on the details, because if and when you come across this post, it might be so obvious that you’ll know that I’m referring to you.

Anyways, we were studying for an exam and then whenever you had a question, you didn’t direct it at me but to the other people who sat with us or those who passed by. so... that kinda hurt my feelings. kinda that IN YOUR FACE kinda feel that I... ME... don’t know a thing. Though I like you, my pride was hurt... you probably didn’t mean to do it, BUT it makes me want to TOP this coming exam on Monday, so that I can indirectly smack it “IN YOUR FACE” too. Anyways, I hope i do top this coming exam because I really love and enjoy the topics.

9/19/15 Midnight Thoughts

I’m having trouble with medical school. It’s really difficult and frustrating. My grades are either below the passing mark or just passing. Now, you’re probably thinking that it’s because I don’t study, or if I do, it’s because I don’t study smart? The thing is, I do study and I do my best to study smart.

During the weekend, I was studying for my pathology exam last Monday. When I took the exam, I found it to be difficult... plus the fact that we loss 30 minutes of our exam time due to a lag in the system. Time pressure really played a role in my performance because why I was taking the exam, all I could think of was... I need to do good, time is almost up, and there are 125 items to be answered. How will I be able to answer all of these in time when I like to go back and check my answers. Why are people getting up so fast, was it a past evaluation? Or am I just not competent enough?

I had another exam on Tuesday, pharmacology, which I only studied for it the night before the exam. I talked to my friend, and he made me feel a bit better by giving me tips on how to study smart. He helped me put my nerves aside and I actually ended up passing the exam. So, what’s the difference in these two situations? In the first situation, I was emotionally bothered prior to the exam and during the exam I was comparing on how fast other’s were finishing before me. In the second situation, I was chill. I understood the lesson and found interest in it while focusing on what the professor wanted to make sure that I knew and understood the topics that were discussed.

So what is the lesson learned? It is to stay calm, focus, don’t compare and to enjoy the topics that are being discussed. Also I should always remember why I sacrificed so much to get to where I am. Why I want to be a doctor... who I am doing this for. Don’t lose your drive.
