Dude I've never felt so lonely in a crowd of 200+ people....

made a study den and had the most productive day of my life. I never thought it was humanly possible for me to study this much in one day.

Watching my fav drama for an hour at 2:00 am after studying the whole day felt like the best and the sweetest reward ever!! 🥂🥂

I feel so motivated after such a good day to make today amazing too! 💕

I think I felt the saying… you can only feel confident when you keep the promises you make to yourself

It's fine. I haven't stopped crying, but it's fine.

today was fun.

woke up at 5. read through bdc a bit before breakfast.

9 - 10 - nerve muscle physiology. they only taught us what we already knew about neurons from 11th/12th grade.

10 - 11 - anatomy - joints. taught us the basics about joints and their types and mostly covered everything except moveable joints.

11 - 1 - foundation course. basically teaching us how we are supposed to approach learning while in mbbs.

1 - 2 - walked back to the hostel, had lunch, went back to the college.

2 - 3 - biochem. mostly the proff took the entire time to talk about the subject and what he expects from us and about the exams and stuff.

3 - 5 - anatomy. all the teachers of the dept gathered us all, assigned each of us a cadaver (groups of 20) and had us take the cadaveric oath. ngl the formalin did make my eyes water. i was on table one so I was near the storage and ig there's more formalin covered stuff in there?

after that i accompanied my friends as they bought their books and then we all went to buy our dissection kits. (dissection is tomorrow!! can't wait!!) and by the time i came back to hostel it was 7-ish?

the seniors gathered us around, no ragging just a bit of an interaction. then dinner time rolled around but i skipped it to wash clothes 💀 (kya halat ho gayi hei yaar meri-)

anyway then me and my roommates tried group study. the keyword is 'TRIED'. none of us are group study people so it didn't work out.

i read the intro to the first chapter in physiology. and then started with anatomy lower limb. we're working on the hip bone rn and will finish that in tomorrow's lecture. i wanted to complete it tonight but i don't think that'll work out, really. it's already 1:30 and I don't wanna annoy my roommates by keeping the lights on for long.

and besides, i often found myself on the verge of falling asleep during lectures because I got used to sleeping a lot during the 5 months gap between neet and now and I don't want that to continue so ig i really should get some sleep.

good night, loves! <3

Sooo tired

But hey..things need to be done.

Post duties and date nights✨

Past 10 days have been very hectic because I have been having back to back 36 hours shifts. Seniors are having their exams and us , first year residents are left to take care of the wards alone.

Got some free time yesterday so I hung out with my bf. Got to roam around the city and eat good food.

Today I chose to take some rest and start my thesis protocol (yes i failed my February goal)

Tomorrow awaits another duty day.

4/11/24

Going to start logging my days because why not.

Fell asleep on my phone and missed all 12 alarms. Ended up waking at 7:15 when I should have LEFT for my exam at 7. Thankfully managed to make it in time. The Pathology written went great.

Found out my old carpool friend group made a separate GC without me which seemed very childish and middle schooley. Would have been fine if not for them using it to share notes and past papers and one of them in particular hating me.

Gave my viva early, pretty sure I passed my pathology module. Alhamdulillah.

Came home, had breakfast and covered Behavioral Sciences syllabus for my exam tomorrow. Took a half hour break to watch a video on the historicity of Moses. Gf and I decided to resolve to be less wasteful by not buying new stuff, not buying bottled water, packing lunches and tea for university, re using unfinished registers, giving away old clothes/books before buying new.

For the record, I did not buy his argument at all.

🏥Study MBBS in China🇨🇳

[rreviewit]

📚Books I used for first year of MBBS :📚

1. Anatomy - Gross

B D Chaurasia

Vishram singh

Gray’s

2. Anatomy - Histology

Inderbir Singh

Mostly college journal

3. Anatomy - Neuroanatomy

Vishram Singh

4. Anatomy - Embryology

Vishram Singh

5. Physiology

G K Pal

Indu Khurana

Guyton and Hall

6. Biochemistry

Satyanarayan

Vasudevan

My opinions :

I felt B D Chaurasia was bit overwhelming at times. The book has not been edited in a way that benefits student while learning. Certain chapters like end of Dural venous sinuses chapter had so much of information. It was paragraphs on paragraphs , making it difficult to even sieve through the information ( if you just wish to revise)

While Vishram Singh for gross is very student oriented. B D Chaurasia at times tended to give priority to flow of teaching. Vishram Singh on other hand wrote in such a way that all the information for a particular question was all together in a single place. It also included way more mnemonics and easier diagrams. The book was so good it made me buy the same authors book for different subjects.

Gray’s was something I referred only for abdomen part as at that time I had less of work load. It does not have much information learning wise but more analytical wise - as in there are more cases discussion followed by short snippet on the topic. I only read when I had time that also after reading through the above two.

I do not recommend using Langman embryology for first year - it ends up focusing too much on genetic details for systemic embryology and less on explaining part. I regretted buying it.

I tbh wish to read through the other less popular recommends for Indian mbbs students - just like normal reading.

Biochemistry - I preferred Satyanarayan for all metabolism except carbohydrates, and also for vitamins and minerals. Vasudevan was used for rest of learning. However, it has a lot of information. So if you don’t love the subject (even if you just like it) stick to Satyanarayan.

Physiology - our college preferred G K Pal- it has a lot of information some chapters it is required others not so much ; however the information is bulleted and highlighted so it does not feel overwhelming; diagrams are easy to draw. Indu Khurana has an easier flow of topics. Guyton was something that is recommended to read for all chapters but I didn’t get the time.

(I’m referring here only the authors name not the books entire name.)

Day 17 of 100 Days of Productivity (contd.) 🪴

It’s been a really good day! Aced most of it considering it was my first day back at this.

Here’s what my day looked like:

Did an hour and a half of workout and yoga early in the morning

Ate morning health blessings - dates, walnuts, soaked peas, anjeer and almonds

Sat down and ranted with my roommate for an hour completely forgetting I have college to get to 😳

Walked to my first day of Paediatrics posting which by the way was absolutely fantastic

Finished college lectures for the day

Discussed my research project with my professor and mentor

Came back to my hostel room, took a half an our break and danced to old love songs 😋

Sat down to study Pharmacology and got up straight for dinner

Was super tired so called it a day early but I’m gonna wake up early the next day!

It’s only the first day which makes saying big things seem like throwing words around but it already feels so good.

Haven’t felt this satisfied with myself in a pretty long time. So hopefully I’ll keep this up and ace this year academically 🦦

P.S.: I am now officially the owner of a jade plant and a cactus. I’m so excited to take care of them! I’ll share the pictures next time 🌵

okay so i know i forgot to post for a few days 😭 so here's what happened:

19/10: saturday

first dissection!! AND I VOLUNTEERED AT OUR TABLE AND DID IT!!

20/10: sunday

...somehow i wasted the entire day

21/10: monday

more dissection. more wasting of time

22/10: tuesday

i TRIED to study, okay? but well...

23/10: wednesday

✓ woke up at 5 am

✓ read and made notes on erythropoiesis

✓ read a bit about the femoral triangle

? morning lectures were about stress management and interpersonal relationships? idk i read @athenaareia 's fanfic during it

✓ had a sdl class about erythropoiesis but they finished the q/a before they reached my roll no, :(

✓ more dissection!!! saw the femoral nerve, artery and vein and the profunda femoris artery. accidentally cut a vein and tendon (?) though that was my DT mate's fault, not mine

? came back to the hostel, couldn't study/do ANYTHING in the evening because of hostel stuff and also seniors dealing *ahem* ragging *ahem* with us

! one of the girls on my floor kept yapping for SO LONG and i, as usual, was to awkward to tell her to go so... yeah. yapped and vibe matched with her for 2 entire hours.

✓ finally found the time to read about the hip bone (a bit?)

✓ drew the anterior view and lateral view of the hip bone

? im wayyy too sleepy rn.

honestly, I can't help but feel that in doing NOTHING here. everything is going too fast and I don't understand half the stuff taught in anatomy classes. i adore biochem atp.

also there's a lizard above me. im scared to sleep.

but I am sleepy. i slept through the physio equipment demonstration and people NOTICED like they asked me after class if I was alright so... yeah.

this is despite the fact that I slept 8 entire hours yesterday

so what I've come to realise is that regardless of how many hours I sleep, I'm still gonna be sleeping during lectures

solution? imma wake up at 4/5 am and study. yoohoo. (it's about 1 am rn fyi)
