Day 16 of 100 Days of Productivity 🪴

Lots and lots of studying

Sleeping like a log cause my body was literally aching.

Some pretending to be dead on my bed so that my roommates would ignore my existence and give me some ‘me’ time to process my life

Yesterday’s exhaustion is taking a toll today 😋. I think I drained my emotional battery for this month.

Day 15 of 100 Days of Productivity 🪴

Okay. I want to break the custom today. Instead of everything that I did today, I want to talk about one of the best moments of today and probably my whole life. 🐾

I joined medschool in October 2022, scared and excited about what life had in store me. I was excited to join the clubs (specially debating).

March 2023 we get the invite for the debate society of our college and of course I jump and join the boat.

Got to know later on that our uni didn’t have much of the club culture and we were the only actively functioning club. More that that, the club had just started with us. It was the first year and we were the first members.

Nonetheless, the president was good at debating and willing to help me improve and that was all I needed. 🍄

I soon became a core founding member of the Society. The society secured a place in my heart. End of 2023, the founder president was entering internship and wanted to step down from Presidency post his current term. He urged me to stand for the elections. So I did. I am currently the Debsoc President.

Today is the 1st year anniversary of our Debsoc. I am so proud. We are going out to celebrate. ✨

I remember my senior (founder president) and myself get to emotional when we saw the logo we had designed on that cake; when we lit that golden 1 candle; when the whole debsoc sang.

The past one year was different. It was like our child and it was so difficult to keep it alive. People kept leaving, admin issues and more and more. But we never gave up. 🫧

Amongst the 50 initial members of Debsoc, 5 of us kept at it. Our club is still here. And the club is us. And we are the club. That’s why in my mind, even if it’s just the 5 of us, we already have the club. To me we are the Debsoc OGs of our university…

And I am thankful. This society and these people kept me going. When I was alone and friendless and clueless and scared, they kept me looking up at the stars. I knew no matter what I went through, every Thursday of every week, I would meet these guys and they would be my people.

Debating has been so sacred and holy to me. I have fought everyone to get to where I am, to become as good as I am at debating. It was the one thing I did all by myself. And I am thankful to that young girl for not giving up. 🍁

Day 12 of 100 Days of Productivity 🪴

PSM posting - Anganwadi and de-addiction centre visit

Microbiology lecture (they taught us rheumatic fever)

Pharmacology practical (meh)

Came back to hostel and lay dead like a log for 15 minutes before deciding to go about my day because the pretending to be dead strategy was not so successful 🪵

studied rest of the day till I got a call from my senior at dinner time

spent the rest of the time in a hospital demo room preparing speeches for my debsoc friends

came back and studied a but before my battery died

My friends from my uni debating society have a debate tomorrow. As president and also their friend, I went and ended up staying for 5 hours. We went back and through, debating about every point on the motion we could, came up with good lines and finally got the speeches done. Then the practice began and god I promise i still hear the speeches in my sleep 😋

Came back to my room at 2:00 am. Was so tired after that I could only get an hour more of studying dome before i dosed off on the table itself. 🦦

Here is how my day looked:

put on a face mask, took a bath and did my morning skin care routine

sat down to study - did pathology

spoke to my friend to get his updates

took my lunch break

studied 5 pharmacology chapters

took a break and went for a walk in the park downstairs

studied some more pharmacology

I think I had a super productive day. Tried to get myself out of the depressive mood I have been in for the past two days…

Still got a never ending syllabus to study and my exams just keep getting closer every single day! good luck dear me 🍓

Day 7 of 100 Days of Productivity 🪴

Was a really bad day today. I have only been getting bad news all day… about my friends and their family. Really don’t know how to handle everything and stay motivated.

Here’s how my day went:

Morning skin care and breakfast

PSM posting

Pharmacology Lecture

got bombarded with a lot during the lunch break… skipped lunch

Pathology lecture

skipped medicine and surgery lectures because I couldn’t keep my head straight after everything that had happened

took a nap

went out for a walk to clear my head in the evening

checked in with my friend once (idk if i would be disturbing him or what to say either)

studied a little

slept early

Just realised that not every day will be a good day and you still will have to carry on. Studying medicine just makes you more helpless not more capable than anyone else.

Just read a post on tumblr that said:

Never allow loneliness to drive you into the arms of someone you know you don’t belong with.

And wow. I promise you it made me feel so strong inside. Like it was holy teaching sent for me to embrace and grow

have you tried imagining what your ideal life would be like?

i imagine about mine a lot. for me it would be a mixture of days when I am studying like crazy and days when I have no idea what to do next minute… just free and enjoying with the people i love or days when I’m silent and peaceful by myself; days when I am helping people and days when I am alone.

And I promise you that the happiness I get in real is when something happens and it resembles my ideal life is immense. But the feeling that I can create it with little changes matches none other.

Having super fun and then getting back to working hard to making my life. That’s what I have fallen in love with. The process.

Just inching closer to it everyday makes life a little bit better everyday. Happy. Calm. Peaceful. Lovely. 🪴
