Chronicles of Kanjisheik

Unfortunately, it is that time of the year again to face the music. Yes, I'm referring to my University exams, that are scheduled to be in December.

But thats not the problem. You see, one of the reasons why JIPMER is considered one of the best medical colleges is that the education is really top notch, and each department conducts regular tests and monitors the students' performances. But sometimes, this policy can lead to ludicrous situations. For instance, there are 18 tests [thats right, eighteen tests!!!] scheduled for the period of September 15, 2006 to October 31, 2006. And thats not all- more tests will be announced in the days to come!!!. Then we have the Model Exams probably in the first two weeks of November, and finally the University exams in December.

So now, we are all in an extended hang over. Sitting late nights, trying to cover as much of the portions as possible, revising for the all impostant University exams at the same time, sleeping off in classes due to the sheer exhaustion, cutting down on all recreation, God! This is terrible. And I used to be a guy who seriously loved studying!!!

And yet, I know why they put up this gruelling schedule. Its because we have to be the best of the best. The medical profession is definitely not easy. Being a doctor is a full time job, it requires you to make decisions that could mean the difference between life and death. And thats why we have to go through this- to become as good as humanly possible.

Wish me luck, people. I'm gonna need lots of it. Sayonara!
