So it's been almost two months since my last blog and I am pleased to say, things have actually improved.
I sat my UKCAT, my scores are as follows:
VR-620
QR-630
AR-720
DA-720
Total: 2690
Average:672.5
Needless to say, I was very very pleased.
Two days before the UKCAT, I went for a job interview at a famous medical clinic based on London's Medical Mile. I had convinced myself that I wasn't going to be offered the job since they were just a little too well posh for little old me.
So, the next day I sat the UKCAT and the day after was my birthday. It was mostly spent cooking and cleaning and feeling sorry for myself. Until I got a phone call telling me I had by some miracle, impressed them enough that they wanted to give me the job.
I have been there for almost a week now and I absolutely love it. The people are so lovely, the patients are hilarious and the work is engaging. All going well so far and I hope it stays that way.
I have sent off my UCAS application, I have officially applied to:
Kings College London A101
Southampton BM6
Nottingham A108
East Anglia A104
I'll try not to leave it so long before I post again.
Remind me to tell you about the awkward exchanging of messages with an old school colleague
First time on this blog and since you didn't explain in your profile what exactly you were unsuccessful at, I had to stalk through your entire blog (I use similar excuses at all my restraining order hearings at court. Works every time).
ReplyDeleteI have to say - as someone who had a very, very difficult time at med school, don't feel down. Everyone fails at some point or other, even the brightest medical students (not talking about myself, because if I were, some of my lecturers would genuinely die laughing).
Anyhoos, congrats and keep us updated!
Hey Angry, I didnt know u read this! Been followin' this dudette for a while, except I started reading from the beginning and didnt realise the last post's date (which was from ages ago I realise now). Where do all the blog writers go? Same thing happened to the Irishdoc in her blog 'Is there a Doctor in the house', just magically disappeared. Maybe they got a life instead...
