MEDICAL SCHOOL WAHALA

hey folks,

it has been a while...i know!. i have just been caught up in a lot of things for a really short while. it amazes me though but you know the thing with studying a course like medicine, it takes all your time and at most limits, i can say that it hasn't been easy yet I'm a survivor(winks).

  YET IN SPITE OF ALL...

 Despite all, i have still managed to reward myself with a little writing. We have been given a week of temporary 'vacation' kind courtesy OUR HEALTH WEEK. it brings me joy!

 The thing about discipline and how i am managed to convince myself that i have been truly disciplined is just a miracle. I have truly been DISCIPLINED. The whole course has been so tiring and it seems like an ending journey but that's just a FACT. The TRUTH remains that i can OVERCOME. i have got the zeal to succeed...yes, i have got it!

 In spite of all, i have learnt good things. My relationship with God has elevated to another level. He gives me life everyday to see a new day and face another challenge and i am so grateful to Him. All the histology lecture sessions, the looking under the microscope without seeing any type of epithelium, yet Dr. Dennis and the histology department expect us to see them(oh Gosh! Ghanaians make EDUCATION difficult), the grueling moments in the Dissection Room(D.R),the sleeping sessions during lectures( what did i expect? i was really tired. ;-o),the moments when attentive listening yielded futility,the late arrival to catch the bus... wow, just within a short time, i have a lot of experiences to share. And not to forget! my first day at the D.R. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT beyond measure! the smell of formalin and the sight of the cadavers strewn all about on the tables..Yikes!!!! Double Yikes!!

  YET..DESPITE ALL...

 it has been an experience. i have had fun though.. With Dr.Aryeetey's preaching sessions during the lecture(He is very insightful),Prof. Amoah's signal transduction lectures that led me into seeing stars and occasionally jerking my neck forwards because SLEEP held me captive, oh yeah with Dr. Ababio's lectures that have us laughing our lungs out with her romantic,'YOU'LL BE FINE' chorus and the list is unending...it goes on  and on.

          HOW LONG HAS IT BEING?( creasing my brows)

 how many weeks has it been so far? can i say 7 weeks?. well yeah, its been 7 weeks so far in the medical school....yet..the work load...the lots of slides to learn...the tiring trips back and forth to Korle Bu.. i only come to only one conclusion.. God has truly sustained me! I will become a doctor(very very soon).

  My experiences are so outnumbered and I'm compelled to write all down but the GRAY'S ANATOMY textbook calls me.. i have gotta run quickly for time is of the essence.  I'm poised for ACTION. A renewed ZEAL TO SUCCEED.
