let's revise for exams!! | Study Vlog

[Music] good morning everyone welcome back to a brand new Vlog today's video is very kindly sponsored by hellofresh I will tell you more about them later on today today is sort of my last day officially of placement for the year I get signed off this morning on my Pediatrics placement I've got my meeting with my tutor and we have a lot of things to go through because this placement had so many um assignments and stuff I also still have 2 weeks of this placement and we have lots of teaching next week I have to do a presentation to the lead of the module so it's not really over but today it's kind of like getting a lot of the admin done getting signed off hopefully also don't want to ignore the fact it is now 1 month today till my very first exam I say very first we have two exams over two days this year so it's actually not that bad it is one month till the exam so revision needs to take priority oh I didn't mention I'm going to go to a clinic as well this morning so I've got so much to get done um what do I need to catch you up on Pediatrics I really enjoyed I will probably tell you more about that later oh it was my birthday last week you might be able to see some cards in the background there but I celebrated my birthday which wasn't too bad and um I'm getting really old now so yeah I went out for a meal with Jack in Winchester and it's very nice Jack is in the room right now but he's working from home over there so I've got to get to the hospital for half n for a clinic so right now I really need to just plan out my week while I have a little bit of time um I've woken up earlier than planned today so that's good I'm going to plan out my week of revision and what I need to do and then we will get heading towards the hospital so to plan my week I use notion I have a little Todo on there which if you check my notion video out you'll find my template and how I use notion at medical school but my week to view is kind of my most important part of my notion because I put everything on there at the start of the week and it means hopefully I get everything done and I don't forget anything um so what I do first is I go through and I add in all of my lectures for the week so basically what I've done is I've just added all of the lectures we have this week to my to-do list and then I've also put in things like I have shifts at the pub so I need to make sure they're on there so I don't forget about them um obviously I've got what I'm doing today I haven't really got time now cuz I need to get to the hospital but later on today I'm going to go through and add in any revision I'm going to do this week um and also any W time or things on placement that I'm planning to do oh hello fresh is here so as I mentioned this video is kindly sponsored by hello fresh we have W with with hellofresh before and I always love working with them because they are so convenient especially when I have busy weeks like this on placement where I need to be out all day and get home and just need something easy to make for dinner and don't have to think about it it also means we save time because I don't need to do a food shop this week now we've got hellofresh so I'm sure you already know what hellofresh is just in case you don't hellofresh is a meal delivery service that delivers fresh ingredients to your door it's all portioned out already so there's no waste which is always a it is the most convenient thing ever and also for me a good way to come up with new ideas for dinners and get some inspiration Jack and I tend to get stuck in the same routines of cooking and just cook the same five or six meals every week when we get hellofresh it always gives us a chance to experimen and have a go at new dinners um and some of the dinners that we get with hellofresh we end up sticking with for a long time okay so I don't have time to unbox all of this right now but basically in the Box you get your recipe cards and then each recipe card has a number and in the Box you get a bag which has all of the ingredients for that recipe so it's very simple and easy to use let's have a little look at the dishes we've got this week I actually can't remember what I ordered so this is a bit of a surprise we've got a Cora and mango chutney glazed chicken now that is one of their quick meals as well so it takes 20 minutes to cook Perry Perry chicken thigh treay bake and this one is a Stacy Solomon dish not sure what that means but but Stacy Solomon is on the front there and then finally we have got a herb crusted Salmon fet this is one of their premium ones and it also comes with a dessert which is interesting coconut chocolate pot dessert so those are the dishes we've got and later on this evening I will be making one of these for dinner I am going to put this away now very quickly before I go to placement um worth mentioning the hellofresh app is very easy to use Jack and I don't get it every week so when we want to pause our subscription it's really good we can also add and change preferences to recipes I will put my hellofresh code on the screen now for you guys to use if you scan this QR code or go to the link below you will get 60% off your first box and 20% off the following two months thank you so much to hellofresh for sponsoring today's video guys I'm rushing I'm rushing so bad I just really want to make a tea very quickly let's go so I very quickly headed over to outpatients for Clinic before meeting our consultant for the final sign off of fourth year he brought us Costa which was very exciting then I hopped on the bus to campus to set up camp in the library for an afternoon of revision there's some work going on at the moment in heartley so the outside isn't looking as cute as normal but the inside is very much the same anyway I got C Mony and first made sure I knew which topics I needed to revise this week using my revision plan I recently made a video about how I plan my revision so I will link that one below for you I've been splitting my revision days into hour blocks so it just feels a bit more manageable I guess I quickly ate my lunch which was a bang bang cauliflower salad thing from evanes before starting on my first revision block I use the forest app which I'm sure most of you have heard of to keep track of how much time I'm spending revising and obviously also to stay off my phone [Music] the heavens good girl the I had a longer break after the second hour because I was getting a little bit Restless ended up going for a little walk around the library and finding this book on pubs in Southampton in the 80s and I was trying to find a picture of the pub that I work in sadly couldn't find it but plenty of other pubs were still in there that I recognized um anyway then I figured out I was probably procrastinating so I went back to my desk for the third revision block of the [Music] day after getting through all the topics I wanted to revise I did a past Med session I've started jotting down things that I get wrong or don't know very well and I this really helps and has definitely helped me like improve my score um I just think if you take the time to figure out what you do and don't know obviously it's going to make the past Med even more valuable and yeah I think my past Med score is definitely better than it was a few months back so that's something [Music] [Music] [Applause] right I'm finally home I got the bus back from campus to Winchester I'm just having a cup of tea a crumpet and I'm watching some YouTube what am I watching I'm watching a travel Vlog at the moment I like to watch travel Vlogs and home homey Vlogs and family Vlogs to I don't know relax my brain after a long day I spent the morning in clinic although I didn't really get to see many patients but that was still interesting and um a good way to start the week and then we had our final sign off meeting which I've explained at the start of the Vlog I still have to go to placement because I still have to get stuff done and we still have presentations to do next week but that was my kind of final sign off with the consultant um and then we get signed off with the module lead next week I did also get most of rev Vision I wanted to do done but I still have to do another 70 pass mod questions so I'm just having a break now I was going to go for a run today but I I just don't want to to be honest and I feel a bit guilty because I did say I would in my plan of the day but I'm just so tired and I didn't sleep very well last night so I'm just going to have a chilled out Monday evening with Jack and not actually do any exercise so sorry if you were coming for one of those Vlogs where I do everything in one day but today is not one of those days so today actually marks a month till fourth year exams which is just so mindblowing to think that we're already at that point where we're getting into exams again and I feel like I just had thiry exams but here we are hopefully if I just keep going with the techniques that I started last year that went really well hopefully that is going to happen again this year obviously it requires consistency hard work some long days in the library while also balancing the final few weeks of placement so it's not going to be easy but I'm feeling good at the moment definitely better than I was a few weeks ago obviously earlier in the year I was going through some pretty difficult stuff my brain just wasn't really in it like I wasn't really concentrating like I used to on the course I was just getting by I was just showing up and I feel like I missed out a lot on those placements around the time when Dad was ill and when he died I really do feel like I need to go back over a lot of the stuff I learned on on Psychiatry and in my speciality weeks but today isn't one of those days where I'm feeling really worried about it today actually felt like I knew my stuff and my past Med score compared to at the start of third year is like it's common Leaps and Bounds like I used to be averaging 30% on past Med and now I'm averaging a cool 50 to 60% which for me is very good if you're watching this and you are not getting very high scores on past Med then do not fear there is hope for you yet yet because I used to be that person who literally would get one in every five questions right but you just need some consistency oh hi Jack hi are you excited for dinner we've got hello fresh again oh yes I need to show you the um recipe cards we've brought I'll give you the options I want you to tell me which one you like herb crusted Salmon filp cor and mango chutney glaze chicken or the Perry Perry Chicken F tray bake sounds good salmon yeah I have to agree okay coming right up so we have decided to have the herb crusted salmon fet with cheesy doir tender stem and green beans so yeah let's get started because I am absolutely starving and Jack keeps nagging me because he is very hungry too so potatoes are on and now I need to make the bread crumb mix for the salmon [Music] fet it does say to put the potatoes in a flat dish to make the do fin Noir but I don't have a flat one so we're going with a bread loaf tin today uh hopefully that is going to work still [Music] oh the potatoes look so good and this is our suon do broccoli and sugar snap peas [Music] [Music] Jack what did you think dinner what did you think of your dinner I liked the dinner yeah line what did you what was your favorite bit of the dinner my personally was the doir line thank you dear right guys I'm in bed now and like I normally do I forgot to film after I stopped revising but Jack and I just watched Telly and he made me watch this show called Fallout which is about a nuclear war and but it set he's looking at me it's about a nuclear war but it's set many years after the first bomb it's named after what we're going to do fall out yeah I thought that it was good but I think I need to watch more to get into it basically normally I pick the show but I let Jack pick the show this time so we're sticking with it I think it's meant to be based on a video game that's what I've been told anyway Fallout we are watching other TV shows we've watched recently include baby reindeer on Netflix which I'm sure you've heard about by now which is about a stalker and a comedian who was stalked for many years H what else have we watched we watched beef on Netflix which was another really good show I've been watching so many shows we're watching Race Across the world we watch the we watch The Apprentice that finished last week another update in my life is that because it's exam month I have deleted Tik Tok off my phone which means right now normally I'd be in bed on Tik Tok and Jack would be on his phone on reals cuz he refuses to download Tik Tok but he'd be watching reals I'd be on Tik Tok and we would occasionally show each other a video until it was time to go to sleep but I've deleted Tik Tok for at least least the next month which means before bed I am at the moment reading a book every night so I'm reading happy place by Emily Henry I picked this one because I've read two Emily Henry books already and I really enjoyed them both uh the best one she's done is you and me on vacation is that what it's called and then she's also got another one I've read called which one was it Book Lovers I've read and but I haven't read funny story and I haven't read Beach read but I saw this one on the book chart in Tesco for like5 so I bought this I am about 100 pages in and I'm enjoying it so far it is if you've read Emily Henry it's just another funny lighthearted Love Story brief summary of the plot it's a couple who were engaged but they've broken up they've gone on holiday with their mates and they haven't told anyone they've broken up and they're pretending to still be together and that is a brief synopsis of my book I think I'm going to end the Vlog here because I am exhausted that was a very long day this will probably be the last Vlog I get out before exam season I promise I'm going to keep vlogging throughout exam season and during exams I'll just edit the videos after a finish exams because a vlog can take me anywhere from 2 and 1 half hours to 10 hours to edit and I just don't have the spare hours this month so I hope you appreciate that but I hope to see you all very soon if like me you have exams coming up best of luck for those um I'm right there with you we can get through this everything will be over soon and it will be summer and hopefully we can pass our exams and have a really nice chilled out summer not having to reset any exams touch would thank you so much for watching and please give this video a thumbs up if you did enjoy it because that really helps the video get to more people and do subscribe if you enjoy my Vlogs thank you so much and I will see you in the next video bye
