The Rapture that we were promised last Saturday failed to take any of the medics up - we assume we've all just been sinning too hard for the last three years - unfortunately meaning we still have to sit our exams. My first is in about two and a half hours' time, so naturally, I am updating the blog for the first time in three or four months. Sorry about that.
Here are some ways to guarantee you do badly in your third year exams:
1. Fail to read papers until Easter term.
2. Spend most of the Easter holiday working on your dissertation, to the exclusion of all revision.
3. Spend most of Easter term with a not-work to work ratio of about 5:1 or higher.
4. Cram, in the last week.
5. Fail to stick to even your cramming timetable, meaning you only finish going through lectures the day before your exam.
6. Update your blog in the last three hours before your first exam.
7. Cultivate a sense of impending doom, but manage to avoid getting The Fear until, oooh, half-way through your third exam (I'm guessing).
8. Remind yourself, often and loudly, that you only really need to get a third.
I'll see you all on the other side.

One day, you could wake up in A&E with one of us standing over your bed.
Hello!
This blog is updated on a strictly infrequent and irregular basis by a few members of the cohort of medics who started their degrees at Newnham College in October 2008. We have all just started at clinical school; we'll be giving you our opinions and experiences in the form of long and rambling posts with little structure or purpose as we progress up the medical food chain.
