For everyone who is also nervous about results day

Whether you worked really hard, you didn’t work as hard as you could have, whether you have university riding on this or not; whilst this is one thing that can shape your future, it is not the only thing with the potential to which is something we should all keep in mind.

Even though we might experience waves of nausea due to the amount of uncertainty surrounding results day we can alternatively view this as a reason to stress less; whilst the future is unknown it is simultaneously out of our control right now and if we can’t change it we might as well try to stay calm .

Don’t let the emotions of others affect you, this experience is different for every individual and we have all performed under different conditions therefore you shouldn’t let someone else’s hastily typed panic tweet cause you to panic as well.

Maybe you won’t get into university. Maybe you will surpass your expectations and enter into adjustment. Maybe you will decide that you want to change your course or even your university. Nothing is set in stone and no one can tell you what is right for you except you. What we might perceive as disappointing news initially might actually be a blessing in disguise...

You just don’t know it yet :)

This guy comes in to the ER with chest pain and you won’t believe what happens

Full cardiac workup plus full PMH and PSH. Trop and 2hr trop negative. EKGs show NSR. Turns out they have an inherited disorder that predisposes them to develop blood clots. They take Coumadin, or rather they’re supposed to take it. The significant other rats then out and says the patient stopped taking it.

So naturally they get a CT scan and guess what? Go ahead. You’ll never guess.

The scan reveals a dissected aortic aneurysm. DISSECTED. AORTIC. ANEURYSM.

Oh. But it gets better. Name two things that don’t go well together. Here, I’ll help: dissected aortic aneurysm and Coumadin. Yeah. Bad. Not good. But remember, this patient stopped taking their Coumadin.

I know what you’re thinking: how is this patient living if their aorta dissected? A clot. This patient had a massive clot sitting at the dissected section of the aorta, preventing them from bleeding out.

And they wanted to go home and follow up with their cardiologist on Monday. To which I replied…

We don’t have cardio-thoracic coverage, so we ended up transferring this patient. But, damn, what a hell of a case.

This is going to 100% be a published case study in the next year because holy shit.

[flyonthewallmedstudent]

Holy shit it better be published.

Trying to learn a language when your first language is English...

- Some people will try and tell you you don’t need to know other languages because you speak English already

- Randomly running into a speaker of your target language, being excited, trying to start up a conversation and they will only speak English with you

- Online language exchanges were they want you to help with English but not Visa versa

- The British education system’s general lack of stress placed on the importance of languages ( this is an entire post on its own)

- Grandparents and parents who speak other languages but will only speak to you in English because thats what they is most important for you to speak and your stuck in that limbo of being receptively bilingual were you understand them but you simply can’t respond in the language

- Trying to explore the internet in your target language whilst avoiding English

- That awkward stage when you are intermediate and are trying to find books/films/shows that suit you in your target language which aren’t the same generic few ( this one is probably a struggle for a lot of people)

How to get organised during Easter

- If you have finished the course now is a good time to go back to the start of the course and revise the earlier sections

- Make your resources now; if you have any flash cards that you need to create you should attempt to complete them in the following weeks to ensure you have enough time to complete them

- Try and complete your notes if you make notes

- Avoid doing the past papers until you have revised everything thoroughly and make sure you do them in exam conditions so that you get an accurate representation

- Avoid starting a new television series as it will occupy a lot of your time

- Don’t hesitate to email your teachers over the holidays if you need help

- If you do essay subjects complete practise essays on as many topics as you can so you can give them to your teacher when you go back after the holidays. This will help you identify your weak areas so you can focus on them before the exam

- Don’t forget to have breaks however ultimately you must prioritise doing your work over leisure!

- For a level science students remember to study for Paper 3 and work on your practical technique as this tends to be neglected during term time

- For English students make sure you try and reread your set texts especially the closed book exam texts in case you don’t have time

- For AS students and some A2 students Make sure you are prepared for your exams which start much earlier in May so you aren’t stressed later.

EPQ results!

I got an A on my extended project which I started last year 😆 I don’t know the full breakdown of the marks yet but it does mean that one of my offers will be lowered which is exciting!

How I’m going to choose my next target language:

[entropvy]

baby: *incomprehensible babbling*

me: WHAT!? really??? no way :0

[thelibrarina]

This is actually really good for babies’ brain development. You’re laying the groundwork for conversation, teaching them through example that people take turns talking and listening.

Did you know that babies from affluent families hear an average of thirty MILLION more words before age 5 than babies in families below the poverty line? For context, Les Miserables is about 650,000 words and it looks like this:

So it’s like reading this book 46 times.* And that’s not the total number of spoken words, that’s the GAP between affluent and poor babies. And these are the years in which the brain undergoes the most development. It’s mind-boggling.

So what I’m saying is: keep doing the thing. Do it to all babies, all the time. Narrate your day. Ask them for opinions. (“Should we buy the large bag of potatoes or the small bag?” “Gaabooglagje.” “Yes, just as I thought.”) Point out colors and shapes and letters. Let them scribble outside the lines and treat their babble like talk. Sing them nursery rhymes and Raffi songs and songs from the radio. All of these things are going to build their brains to prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.

*Please do not read Les Mis 46 times to an infant. They don’t even care about the Parisian sewer system.
