Afternoon!
I have been away from this blog for too long.
The reason being I have, and I suppose I still am, going through a massive period of doubt in my life. Not doubting wanting to pursue medicine. But doubting the timing of it all.
I have decided (somewhat resignedly) that I won't be able to take the GAMSAT in London this coming September. I just will not be ready.
I feel taking an extra year to prepare will not only help me achieve a better score, but it will also help me become a better person and ultimately a better doctor.
Apart from learning all of the scientific material etc required for the test, I feel I need to sort of "find myself".
My life is extrememly unbalanced and I am not really very physically or mentally healthy, and that definately needs to change if I want to become a doctor.
I don't really want to take a year off to be honest. I'm 24 this year and I feel like I have been waiting forever for my chance, but I guess I need to stop being so impatient and trust that when the time is right I will get my chance.
In the meantime I need to start living again. I need to shake off my depression and get back to reading books and newspapers, painting, going out with friends, taking walks and just generally BEING again. That's just as important as any hardcore study I think!
Anyhoo will update again soon! Results are out on Thursday! Eep!
:)
