The most difficult half year

It is such a nice feeling to be done, and I'm feeling so motivated that I think that nothing is impossible (there is a big probability that I'll loose this feeling during next examination period).

Last half year was the most difficult one so far - I hope I won't write the same next year. Besides studying I found some free time only for studying Norwegian and for doing sports.  

Before school started I thought that if I would study every day for many hours, go to every single lecture, practice and read all recommended literature. I just had to pass pathology which is the biggest exam of the 3rd year, probably one of the biggest ones during our medical studies.

At the beginning of February I found out that I was wrong: I really had a problem to pass the written credit test from pathology. When I was preparing for my last - third attempt, I sometimes had the bad feeling, that maybe it was my last test as a medical student. But the support from my boyfriend, relatives and close friends helped me to overcome this period and I found motivation to study more again and again. I eventually passed the test and as I mentioned earlier I passed even the difficult oral pathology exam with the nicest word in my credit book: excellent. My happiness was indescribable.

The next semester should be a bit better and not so busy as the last one. Few days ago I finally opened a normal book - some novel from medical environment. After 10 pages I closed the book and found out that I am not able to read as I did before. During the reading I was only looking for new information, not for the pleasure from reading. I really should sort out my mind and make a distinction between "textbook" and "normal book".

I have many plans for the next 6 months, but I decided to not to publish them here. But if at least some of them will become true I'll write about them in my next post. I would like to mention my summer practice at Barbados one more time. I really can see how beneficial it was for me. Not only from an educational point of view, but also for becoming a better person. I would like to mention that if you have some plans or some dreams do not postpone them. Do not say: “I will do it one day”.. Do it today!
