I feel like I am a hamster.

My life just feels far too busy at the moment.

Being busy is usually a good thing, but sometimes it is possible to get too busy.

At the moment I have

-Research (I am trying to get some research experience to but on my CV

-Arranging an event

-Applying for a scholarship, (I had to write a personal statement, now I have to do a presentation)


It may not sound like much, but each of those things has lots of little bits that I need to deal with each day. The more I do, the more little tasks, I end up needing to complete.





I know half the stuff on the list is voluntary, but I need to get a job when I graduate.In order to do this I need things I can put on my CV.

In a way medical students are lucky, graduating practically guarantees a job,(even if its being something really random, at Middle of nowhere Hospital)

Everyone that graduates medical school becomes a doctor, but I want to be the best I possibly can.

Women in surgery Conference

I am back again....

I am a woman, and I guess I want to be a surgeon.

Leeds university is hosting a women in surgery conference, and I am considering going.

Check out its facebook page here:https://www.facebook.com/events/1412482525711751/?ref=ts&fref=ts



Pros
Its free
Poster competion-Although they are no longer worth any MTAS points, they are handy to have on your CV
Suturing- always fun to practise suturing
Surgeons- I can talk to them and ask them if I can shaddow them, they usualy agree.


Cons
Its less than 1 month away, so I may not have time to create a poster
Its on a Saturday-uni stuff on a sat, erm nah.

The coolest thing is 6th form students and applicants seem to be invited, I know if I was applying for medical school saying " I went to a medical conference" would look really good.
