Two months, no post...

Oops! Long time, no post. Tsk tsk. Should pick up a bit now, post-Christmas and my mind's in a better place, so time to crack on with work. Might start posting my to-do lists here, that'd mean I came back and updated more often, and it'd make sure I keep on track with work!

Christmas was good, not particularly relaxing but I got plenty of work done. I found out a couple of days before Christmas that I won a national essay prize, so that was the best Christmas present I could have had, although I also had some lovely gifts from family. I've started a new rotation, which is going well although it's incredibly intense, and it involves a bit of work in operating theatres - a nightmare for lipreading. We'll see how it goes, the academic bit is really interesting and it's drawing things together, so full steam ahead.

Am on a course this weekend, revision directed at Finals, which is really interesting. Today's been very intense, but I'm now chilling out at a friend's house, cuddling the cat and getting warm by the fire, so I'm happy!

Probably ought to make a list of things that need doing. Will split it into short-term and long-term goals...

This week:
PBL - clotting cascade and anticoagulant medications
Diuretic therapy
Cardiac drugs
Anatomy of the heart
Anatomy of the hand
Finalise and submit job applications

Next weekend:
Work with Study Buddy, go over the content of this course

Within the next few weeks:
Read research papers for my background
Write background section
Write up analysis of group against control
Complete data collection on teaching material
Send first part of draft to research tutor
First draft of reflective essay
Pick a patient for case presentation

Wow, that's a scary list. Probably ought to get on with some of it instead of sitting here blogging...
