Ok here goes.
I have actually had a relatively action packed week this week It started bright and early on Monday for exam time. The exam itself was ok I think. I have proved extremely poor at predicting the outcomes of these uni exams in the past though so I shall leave my thoughts on it at that.
Tuesday saw the start of my fourth and final hospital week if second year. We were doing neurological examinations and history taking. Having found the teaching of neurology pretty tough, the hospital stuff seemed to make a lot more sense. I don't know if this was just due to having 3 weeks previous patient experience or whether I am just particularly good at that sort of thing, but either way, I really enjoyed myself. The neurological exam itself involves no innapropriate touching or removal of clothing so I am going to practice the shit out of it on you guys when I next see you! One of the highlights of the week was learning to do fundoscopy (looking into people's eyes). We got to practice on each other and this involved putting the drug tropicamide into our eyes, it dilates your pupils something silly (it is an anticholinergic drug if you're interested in pharmacology). Here is it's result on my eyes, they were like that for about 4 hours and it made it really hard to see close up things and everything was far too bright.
On Friday I played pub golf for a guy called Owen's birthday. We did it around all the bars at the uni halls up where I was last year. I had a really big fish and chips for tea beforehand and it didn't prepare me very well for drinking large volumes in short periods of time, I was just too full. I managed ok for my round though and ended up well under par, however, with better preparation I think I could have managed a perfect score of 9.
Last night was Imperial Leisure but I ended up not going as it was all a bit difficult and no one else wanted to go. That was a little bit rubbish.
Today I have done extremely little. I started reading Catching Fire and am now almost halfway through. I also watched Mulan because it was on channel 5 earlier. I think the last time I saw it was at Kate's and I was really drunk and mad at it. I don't know why because it is a quite lovely film.
I have tomorrow off for some reason which is lovely. I am going to sleep lots and read more Hunger Games.
I am actually home again next weekend. I am playing cricket on the Saturday but will probably hang around until the Monday as it is a bank holiday. Is anyone going to be around to hang out at some point?
I am sad Chris isn't going to be part of this blog, but I really do look forward to reading of his exploits. Even if it will be on an inferior blog.
Love you and hope to read lots from you all this week!
