I am another prospective medic who wishes to document his long challenging journey into what will hopefully be a medical career.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After failing to gain entrance to 2010 entry medicine, I shall be taking a gap year and reapplying in 2011 and thus this blog shall document my experiences over the interwebs. Well currently, I am a year 13 student studying Chemistry, Biology and Geology (which I despise with every fibre in my body) at A2 level. I have my exams upcoming in a month, for which I am revising ridiculously hard for, and sometimes I feel like I shall never make it to the end. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In regards to my gap year, I have organised a few things already so that I am not being a complete bum at home for a year. Thus far, I have secured 2 work experience placements at hospitals, one with an orthopaedic surgeon and one with a cardiologist, both of which I am looking forward to. There is also a chance that I shall be travelling to Brazil to do some volunteering with some friends in the summer of 2011. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My hopes for my gap year include having a lot of fun, and making a lot of money. Shallow (and rather obvious) I know but I would hate to finish my gap year knowing it was a waste of time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I apologise to any readers, most likely myself, for this poor blog seeing as it is very early in the morning and I am watching some Tim Minchin and thus this has not received my full attention. I hope to post here regularly documenting my experiences throughout my gap year as well as my next application process in 2011 (and hopefully onwards as a medical student....fingers crossed). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Peace out and have an awesome frickin' day dudes!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/690385393711573613-2957744004762658624?l=bloggingbollocks-edgey10000.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bloggingbollocks-edgey10000.blogspot.com/feeds/2957744004762658624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bloggingbollocks-edgey10000.blogspot.com/2010/05/intro-just-me.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/690385393711573613/posts/default/2957744004762658624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/690385393711573613/posts/default/2957744004762658624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bloggingbollocks-edgey10000.blogspot.com/2010/05/intro-just-me.html' title='An Intro: Just ME'/><author><name>edgey10000</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14043326629642406784</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03948296029080123832'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
