Good-bye 3, Hello 4

Dear reader(s),

Nothing fancy about today's entry.
Just wanted to drop-by and give a 'lil update on life.
So far, it sucks. However, dealing with that kinda makes you stronger.
Hence, the 'ol saying

"...if it don't kill ya, it only makes you stronger..."

Truth-be-told, i'd say that's about 50% correct.
It's correct because it don't kill you. But that does not necessarily mean it'll make you stronger.

I had my OSPE/OSCE examination today where us Med students at UKM are to run around in this maze-like table arrangement in our labs, answering questions from each module with a total of 27 tables (they call it stations. Table sounds so unprofessional, lol!)
In OSPE/OSCE, we will be tested on our knowledge of Anatomy (Gross and Histology), Physiology, Pathology (Gross and Histology), Clinical Science and Personal & Professional Development.

Damn difficult I tell ya! We are required to answer all questions at each station with only a minimal amount of time, which is only 4 minutes (wtf? btw, that means what the fudge. I don't swear often thank you.) 4 MINUTES?? Some people can even fart longer than 4 minutes. Sheeeshh! Am I PO-ed? Damn straight, I am!

This OSPE/OSCE is supposed to be a practical exam that aids our Theory based exam papers. If this is how it's gonna be through out my whole 5 years of medical school, I'm afraid I might not be so lucky.

In conclusion, OSPE/OSCE did not kill me nor did it make me feel stronger. In fact, I actually feel more vulnerable now thanks to the probability of re-sitting a few papers (pray to god that I don't)
If you're not a strong and hardworking person I recommend you to NOT take this course. I repeat, I would NOT recommend you to take medicine.
3rd Sem is finally over, and a new semester awaits! Let's see how that goes, eh? The End! l e n a out!
