Term 2 Done, One to Go!

...and shot to that!

That's another term completed, with just one more to go! This year is going so fast, I thought the teachers in my sixth form were exaggerating when they said it'll go this quickly.

This term has been full of the more sciencey anatomy body stuff which has made it 10 times more interesting and gripping! The labs have got more interesting definitely with an extension on the histology content, looking at how the epithelium of the bladder allows it to expand and return to its original shape etc.

This is what the typical student kitchen looks like - piles of washing up that "will be done tomorrow, I promise"

I have somehow survived on the amount I've drank and the fact I've probably eaten twice my body weight in pasta and jarred tomato and basil sauce. But one day I did cook for myself and my flatmate by surprising her with my steak-cooking skills!

The steak meal in discussion - including the homemade peppercorn sauce that sounds revolting on paper but tastes and smells perfect in person.

I made my own peppercorn sauce out of Vodka, gin, pink lemonade, ground pepper, baking powder, gravy, milk and butter - and it tasted like it had been made in a top restaurant (if I say so myself). If anything, it was very peppery and if it wasn't eaten fast enough, it would solidify and slide off your steak! If you want the recipe, just private message me!

I gave a talk to aspiring medical students for Villiers Park based on my experiences.

I've had the honour as well to be invited back to my school to give a talk regarding future aspirations post-18. Before this though, I was invited back to give a presentation to aspiring medical students at Villiers Park (in MedSoc that I was once part of) and explaining what it's like to be a first year medical student, how to get in and if medicine does seem what I expected! The students that attended (30+ I think!) asked some great questions throughout the slides and I can't believe that this time last year I was sat in their seats listening to a guy give a talk in MedSoc.

I recommended they read this blog, so they could be viewing this article with you!

Until next term, have a great Easter!
