In regards to studying, I also find it helps if you have a parter you are responsible to. Try agreeing to meet a friend at the library, and make sure it is a friend that is studious and works hard, not one that talks all the time. You may find that being around other motivated people helps you work too!The Studenthttp://costsofmedicalschool.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426449816547504479.post-3194845632067721932012-11-28T13:59:40.544+00:002012-11-28T13:59:40.544+00:00@WMOAHM - will keep you updated when (and if) we f...@WMOAHM - will keep you updated when (and if) we find out!<br /><br />@Anonymous - if you want to chat give me your email and I can email you - though put in some brackets or something so bots cannot steal it and send you loads of spam!<br />I always find it hard to 'get down' to working and get yourself in that mindset, and I know a lot of medical students are the same as me. This sort of behaviour where you feel you should work harder but don't is pretty common. Its hard to get started working, but I always find the important thing is to get into a regime. Its like going to school - if you didn't have to, it would be hard to get up every morning and go in when it often seems pretty pointless. But you do because you feel you have to. If you write a revision timetable, or even plan to do say half an hour of reading around a certain subject a night, then force yourself to keep to it, thats the best way I find of learning. Once you have this timetable you HAVE to keep to, you just need to make it your priority. Its like going to the gym - if you keep to your regime its easy, but miss one or two sessions and suddenly you are missing loads. You just need to make sure you do this small amount of work a day.<br />I found the CGP revision books really useful for my A levels - you could do a page or two of making notes on their pages a day perhaps?<br />If you give me your email we can chat about it more :)Internal Optimisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194212321633856081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426449816547504479.post-46997934485254409502012-11-27T18:31:16.740+00:002012-11-27T18:31:16.740+00:00Wow - really interesting case about the boy who is...Wow - really interesting case about the boy who is hallucinating snakes, would be interested to find out the eventual diagnosis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-426449816547504479.post-16203657491697732462012-11-27T14:46:19.940+00:002012-11-27T14:46:19.940+00:00Hi love your posts!

I KNOW it's my fault (obviously) because I haven't been doing the best I possibly can. I'm not "naturally" clever and somehow I'm not motivated to do the best. Now that my teachers have told me that I'm way off from getting the grades I need for medicine and really I should try harder but I don't know how to get into THAT state of mind. I really really really want this and I know I'm an idiot for not just doing the work. I know that if I just did everything and beyond I could achieve the grades. I don't know what to do. I just want to do well but I'm not doing it and it's only going to be my fault in the end. <br /><br />Thanks, hope you reply :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
