♥ ♫ there maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
i had a pretty good weekend.
unfortunately. in the past few hours i have realized how much work i need to do. and how much i hate studying.
and i could attribute this to studying in general, however... i'm pretty sure it wasn't this bad when i was doing psychology.
psyc was interesting, fun and i enjoyed learning about all the weird but interesting experiments.
med on the other hand..... the physics and chemistry. the physiology. the cells and genes. the processes and functions. please, just kill me now.
now whenever i tell people this they're just like.. THEN WHY ARE YOU DOING MED.
it's a valid question to ask. really it is. but the truth is, as you may already know, i want to be a doctor!
it's that simple. and just because i want to be a doctor does not mean that i have to LIKE the med course.
you see, the course is not the same as the career. it may prepare you for the career - but they are still two different things.... in the career you deal with patients face to face, you listen to them, you talk to them, you help them, you can make a difference... in the course you have less responsibilities, you make new friends, you study and learn everything and anything that may or may not help you in the future.
the course at the moment is pretty dry... it's mainly theory and all the stuff i find really complicated and hard.
like i know there is a purpose to the course. there is an end goal, obviously, otherwise there would be no point doing the course... the things i am learning is important and will contribute to my future knowledge and understanding require to be a doctor.
but just because there is that added purpose, doesn't mean that i will automatically like the learning aspect.
does that make sense? it's hard to explain....
and don't worry, i have a bf who has asked all the annoying questions... like 'what if you still don't like it when it hits clinical'... 'statistics show that those who don't like it end up dropping out or becoming crappy doctors'.... 'but i like it... and i just think you should like it too...'
