M.B.B.Ch. Part I

So far so bad on my new year resolution. I kept it up for a lil while then I broke off. Bad bad me. Then about 3 months to my Part 1 M.B.B.Ch. examinations I picked up again. When I think about it that way, I feel really guilty

Anyway, MB’s gone now and I’m starting to slide again. Lord help me.

Speaking of MB, those were rough times...really. 3 weeks of all sorts of exams ranging from essays, MCQs, practicals and orals. I spent almost 1 year preparing for that exam, but when it came it was still like boy you ain’t started. You know that feeling you have in the pit of your stomach like there’s something you forgot to read

OK, day number 1 – Anatomy Essay (still had the feeling) 10 questions with subs to answer in 3 hrs. sounds cheap abi? But when you have to impress the lecturer marking your script, 3 hrs might seem like 3 mins. So I knew all the questions, well almost all but the 3hrs just wasn’t freaking OK. Anyway I attempted all. Guess that worked cos I passed.

Day number 2 – Biochemistry 2-part Essay. A short one and the longer version. BCM’s my fav course anyway, had the 3rd highest cumulative score in my class. So I sailed through easily.

The crap on the icing was Physiology. 5 freaking long answer essay questions to answer 4 in 2 freaking hours. Made a couple of silly mistakes I realised outside the hall, if I had a 3rd leg, I’d have kicked myself in the nuts. Anyway I had a good cumulative to fall back on so I didn’t have cause to worry (even though I did…a whole lot)

The MCQs went well. The orals were OK…OK? Did I say that? Well not all. Anyway it started with Anatomy again…and there was my external examiner,…an Indian!!! I’d heard stories about him so I prepped myself. “I agree vit you totally…but what else passes through this” he asked pointing at the foramen spinosum. Nervuus spinosus I’d said stalling him so I could remember what else, anyway I did and blurted out “middle meningeal artery” just as he said you can go.

Physiology Viva was all about English. The Prof. was just breaking into all sorts of grammar and dragging me towards neurophysiology, my fucking worst nightmare, but good students always have something to say now, don’t they?...I’m rambling here right?...anyway my exams were OK, actually exhausting and now I have a 3 months holiday to cool off. Pretty boring if you ask me,…well I’ve got art to fall back to…

Feeling kinda sleepy right now, so I’ll just doze off. OK, catcha later.

Bla Bla Bla

One of my new year resolutions this year was to be a better Christian, I started on a good footing, three chapter from the Bible every morning, pray seriously before going to bed, you know generally be good and all that, well by May I stopped reading my Bible regularly and then I’d just utter a few words before dozing off.

Anyway, lately I’ve been thinking…I should get back on the straight and narrow. Makes me feel better and I guess its all we should do right? I mean we didn’t get here by chance, I for one do not believe in evolution. So we were created by someone so we should try to live as such a Being designed Abi?

Well, I’ve been making some changes lately, started a lil though; one verse of the bible a day. I chose proverbs. Chapters are shorter and then they make sense generally in everyday life. Maybe when I’m done I’ll try some other book like, lets see…Corinthians? OK. I wonder why they don’t have books arranged alphabetically? Would have made sense, after reading “P”, move on to “Q”.

Yes! lest I forget, I saw a shooting star some time ago I had just stepped out onto the porch at night, I needed to pick up something at a shop nearby. Then I looked up and just in that split second it passed. I suddenly remembered what I’d been hearing about shooting stars and wishes, so I made two (2) then dashed inside to tell my mum,…yes my mum. Surprised? Well, we’re so close, she sometimes calls me her PA, I’m closer to her than anyone in the family. So like I was saying I told her about it, said she saw one when she was much younger and wished for long life.

Hmm I didn’t think of that when I made my own wishes. Anyway sha, I hope they come true. If they do, I’ll sure let the whole world know.

Sorry all, I've not updated since. Why am I even apologising sef. Its not that my blog is too hot sha, but I know some people drop by.

Well, I've been very busy at school lately and I'm still busy. Writing some serious semester exams. You know these past week each time I read so hard, but when I get into the exam hall, I go like "am I really doing this course?...".

It beats me where these lecturers get their questions. Anyway I dey try sha but "B" average ain't good enough, I thought I'd step it up this semester before my exams but my plans ain't going as planned...( Inglish )

I'll be back in two weeks, or three, I don't know for now, MB exams still dey to write, no kiddin...and sometimes I wake up at night and wonder what the f**k am I really doing

OK oh, I have to leave now gotta go reach some Oyinbo book, wetin I go do now...?

Later............

"Good Day", Abi?

My car had broken down, gear box problem, but I needed to get to the library, I had a lot of reading to do. Being a medical doctor (in the making) entails a lot of reading and more reading. I just had to get to the library somehow, anyhow.

I thought of the 3 means of public transport available. I hated okadas, not enough protection and with the silly crash helmets now, that you had to share with approximately twenty thousand other people patronizing this sector. I wasn’t very keen on catching any hair/scalp infection just yet.

Taxis didn’t ply the library route so my last option was the bus. However this didn’t come without its qualms. The bus stop was close to the market which was quite a distance from my house. Since my cousin was leaving home too to pick a taxi to her friends’, she decided to walk me.

I was ushered to an empty bus and stepped in. This was a new experience for me so I just sat patiently and waited for the bus to fill. The driver was already in, there was a guy sitting beside him up front smoking what looked like a joint (spliff, crack, whareva…) definitely not a cigarette. He looked dirty and unkempt. The driver muttered something in low tones and he moved off and out of the bus. That’s when I got alert. I had a good mind to step off the bus, everything looked suspicious, so as a sharp Nigerian I took out my wallet, removed a large part of the money I was with and pushed it down my socks and into my shoes. I wasn’t taking the change of getting robbed by some market touts. We dey Naija O! and sometimes you need to apply a little wisdom to survive. With this I relaxed a bit. The bus started filling up and soon we moved off.

On the way, the driver took a wrong turn off the major road, I almost protested but then everyone else was sitting calm, I think I must have broken into sweat somewhere. Then I heard some people behind me discussing the state of the road ahead, and how bad it was that the past government didn’t do anything about it. They obviously plied this route often, so I relaxed a little. But this route was so long, winding and bad,…thoroughly bad. I thought the bus was going to come apart as it creaked with every bounce and turn

“Library!” I shouted, taking a cue from one of the passengers that dropped earlier. The guy passed the library a little, I had to shout again. By this time I was getting a little tensed. Obviously he didn’t hear me the first time, as this time he slowed down and came to a halt. I stepped off, paid the fare and heaved a sigh of relief as I walked back to the library. I just had to do something about my car, I was not sure if I could take that another day, but 30grand gear box no be beans now. I shrugged this off my mind as I took a seat in a secluded area of the medical library and proceeded to retrieve my cash. I took my shoes off, then my socks, but an empty socks stared back at me. With the state of my mind at the moment, I immediately thought…JUJU!!! These people have jazzed me and taken my money. But I couldn’t remember falling asleep, or going into a trance or something of the sort. Impossible, it couldn’t be, I shook the sock over and over again, trying to maybe dislodge the money somehow, I looked on the sole of my foot thinking that maybe it stuck there or something, but who sai!!!

My heart rate increased, how was I going to get back home, I had to have lunch later. I stood up, pushed the chair back and then looked down. Staring at me from my empty shoe was a neatly folded pile of naira notes. I shook my head, smiling to myself. It then dawned on my that in the desperation of the moment, I had probably pushed the money straight into my shoe thinking it was in the sock. I noticed one or two eyes looking in my direction as I lowered myself back to my seat, thankful for the separating partitions between the desks.

Na wa oh! I thought to myself, what a was to start my day.
