Well I've been at college for a good two weeks. I haven't covered it in much detail but choice of college has plagued me for months. I had the option of a high ranking college in the top 10 of the country or a college that is full of chavs, my friends and had a recent build. Logic suggests the first choice however with 4 weeks to the start of term, I applied to my local "crappy" college and with my great results got accepted the same day.
I'm now enjoy chemistry, biology, maths and law with my mates. I have got everything sorted and am glad of my choice because several friends at the "other" college are exhausted from extremely long days. My college isn't the best but I chose friends over standards, something I won't do for university (I promise).
My courses are going well while my mind constantly looking at the medical world to see the state of the health care after the MTAS disaster. It seems to died from national news with only the occasional mention of how "doctors are incompetent" or whatever (I don't read the daily mail anymore ;))
Thanks again to people who dropped by to say congrats on my results.
I would also like to take the chance to show people a blog that I feel will continue to be a enticing read. Harry's Unprotected Text records his journey through med school admissions and into Barts. I would recommend people keeping an eye as this blog will most likely record the current state of medical education from start to finish (BTW Congrats on your first day Harry).
Bit of a random blog with a range of topics. To finish it off, currently listening to the Fratellis' album Costello!
Grammer and Spelling poor, may correct later.
Having spent my secondary education at an all girls school, I went to the less-good college in search of a social life and boys.
ReplyDeleteDo I regret it? No.
Did I get as good grades as the people that stayed? Yes.
Sounds like you made a good choice.
hey man
ReplyDeleteglad you made the right choice with regards to college. Thanks for the shoutout, I am currently knackered and we haven't even started the teaching bit yet!
come back and blog more. how is college?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should of went to that good college. Not trying to be nasty though.
ReplyDeleteI know. Maybe I should have. This year seems to have gone so much better though and I've made friends that I'll never lose. It has had downsides such as losing my amazing Bio and Chem teachers to be replaced by idiots but I'll get through.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the rrest of your application though, if you just get an interview im sure you will get in. If not, that offer from leicester sounds appealing.
