Reflection in chaos
1500 word essay on Critical Learning Incident
Due date: 3 days
Current progress: 0.5% (I wrote my name)
Chaos, total chaos. But in this chaos, I begin to introspect. And experience another shift in perspective.
From that of a busy medical student, drowning in a heap of assignments and holding on for dear life to my spartan schedule. Meeting new people, keeping up with friends, remembering names, forgetting names. Maintaining exam grades. Cramming towards exams. Studying to avoid failure. Living in fear of failure. And hoping for the day when all of this will finally end, and enjoy the fruits of my labour. All in a day's work.
A mistake was made somewhere. Being stuck within that frame of mind.
Of living day to day
Where's my joy in seeking knowledge? My passion for people? My fondness of wisdom? My love of life?
I won't be another person trapped within the intricacies of life. A person too busy to live.

hi there!
i guess i agree with u.. after all that mugging for exams, sometimes don't we wonder what are we studying for?
where's the joy we used to find in amassing knowledge? where's the passion that we speak off when asked why we choose this profession?
Where...?
heyho.. joanna here.
mind if i link ur blog?
yeah, it's so easy to get caught up in everyday activities and forget the real reason why we're living..
First step is realising that we should all remember to live*
Take it easy chris :)
hehe.. that explains why i haven't fully started studying for my finals. its okay, it'll end in June! and i guess after a while you'll know when to take a (short) break even if it seems like you really can't. take good, good care!
