blah. that was a rant - wasn't it?
this country only has 2 medical schools.
and after spending hundreds of dollars flying down for an interview at one of them...
i didn't get a place.
which came as a bit of a shock, really, since around that same time my mates were all getting scooped up (with funded scholarships sometimes) to study in a different country.
i don't know why i didn't get a place.
one of the major regrets in my life was that i didn't ask them.the other one... pretty sure that they required a math test...
anyway... their entry criterion have altered somewhat over the years...
and i have 2 shots at applying.i'm scared i won't get a place, though.
and the worst of it is that it is going round and round my head
why oh why didn't i get a place in the other program?whatever.
i guess it is time to put that aside.
really: i'd rather get a place in this program than the other one.
mostly because i see my future in medicine (insofar as i have one) as being based in a large teaching hospital rather than a community clinic.
and perhaps that is my answer, right there.and i get to demonstrate my commitment in doing the freaking first year and spending hundreds of dollars doing that stupid picture completion test.
which perhaps isn't so stupid.
my visio-spatial skills are developing.
i figured they weren't so good in learning anatomy.
anatomy is a bit hard to start with with the irregular shapes...
chemistry is helping a lot... simpler building blocks...it will change me, of course.
the funny thing...
i think the point of the bachelor of health science (if i don't get into medicine)
is health management.
me...
a manager...
hahahahahhahahaha.oh dear.
it will be okay. it will all be okay. my coming here... was meant to be. have to believe it...
