First year Biomedical science experience & grades

Still Monday the 30th June 2014 - 10:17am 

The first year of biomedical science was actually pretty awesome, needless to say I should have spent much more time in studying and writing my lab reports. Which btw I didn't ... Therefore some of my final marks for the modules were barely a pass, *sweeps sweat off forehead* just glad I passed into 2nd year of biomedial science. 

Reasons why I didn't do aswell as I should have or should I say could have: 

• procrastination 

• procrastination 

• procrastination 

I have no other excuse, I would be watching tv, cooking or cleaning or even reading a book (not for uni) instead of revising. I'm kind of glad I did that, your probably thinking what a wierdo, but in all honesty I got into second year (alhamdulilah). Which means I wasted enough on nonsense and the next 2 years I would have to buckle down and get serious. 

I think the only reason I didn't work as hard or take it as serious was because none of what I do this year would be registered, which means it will not go towards my final mark. Phew. 

My grades for first year of Biomedical science: 

- Human science - third class 

- Principles of immunology and microbiology - 2:2 

- Elements of life - 2:1 

- Laboratory practice and skills - First class 

When you take a look at my grades, you'd think that I am definitly not cut out for medicine but I believe in myself and I know if I just stop messing around and wasting so much time, I will get a First class or at least a 2:1 at the end of my BSc Biomedical science degree (inshallah). 

Only a year and 4 months till I send off my Graduate entry medicine application. Seems so close but yet so far. So so excited & nervous too. (.^_^.) 

Univeristy has been closed for me since April. It's been 3 whole months and I've done no work or reading for uni whatsoever. I'm going to start today (inshallah). I'll share with you anything interesting I read or learn. 

I'll be going back around October so I have 3 months to do as much reading as possible. 

Any advice from any of you, who have studied biomedical science ? 

Bye for now. 

Doctor wannabe .^_^.
