🔍 LIFE OF AN ANATOMY STUDENT 📚
🎬Episode 2: It's Not a Do or Die Affair
I remember slamming my textbook shut in frustration, telling myself it wasn’t a do-or-die affair after hours of studying and getting stuck on the same page.
After my first lecture, I committed to learning, familiarizing myself with anatomical terms, and surrounding myself with people who could help.
But the challenges didn’t end there—understanding the complexities of the human body is one thing, but retaining all that information is another.
We were informed to prepare for our first CA on Gross Anatomy of the limbs.
The night before the exam, I resolved to absorb as much as possible. I pulled out my BD Chaurasia’s textbook on Gross Anatomy of the upper and lower limbs.
Then, the real struggle began. I remember trying to cram the content of one page and getting stuck for hours. It was the brachial plexus 🥺.
Frustrated and exhausted, I wondered, "Who can finish an entire textbook in one night?" I told myself again, "It’s not a do-or-die affair," closed my textbook, and went to bed.
I woke up to my alarm at 5:30 a.m., with the exam starting at 8 a.m. Panicking, I jumped out of bed and tried to cram whatever I could in the little time left.
Long story short, when the results came out, I had failed. I got an "E" (40 marks), which deeply affected my CGPA since it was the only 3-unit course of the semester—most others were 2-unit courses.
Thinking of my parents' sacrifices, I told myself that for the next exam, it's a do and pass affair 🤣.
In the next semester, I noticed my results improved because I started revising each topic after class, which made studying for exams much easier.
Curious about my final CGPA? Feel free to ask me boldly in my DMs 🤣🤣.
