Back to the Gold Coast, back to the grind

Mid-semester breaks are way too short!

Spending a week with family in Melbourne was the best time ever. It was a time to refresh and unwind, to be spoiled to bits and to re-connect relationally with loved ones. It was a time to visit nature. It was a time to sit back and reflect on life.

Now that grace period is over and us medical science students are back to it, studying for assessments coming out of our ears and trying to stay on top of lectures, labs and notes. The hecticness is back – hecticness is in for this year.

Staying on the Gold Coast for seven months straight will be my longest period away from home ever. Winter semester beckons and the light at the end of the tunnel is the December break at the end of the year.

In exactly 8 months the crazy ride that is the Bachelor of Medical science will be over.
