the week of the 12th
this week i had mini med which is a medical course for ty students to do for a week it is organised by the royal collage of surgeons Ireland. this week consisted of viewing two live surgeries, a Cesarean section and a laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder. we also had many lectures. this week consisted of two days in the rcsi and three days in Beaumont hospital.
watching the operations was amazing as we got to ask the surgeons questions while they operated. the Cesarean was live streamed from the rotunda hospital that surgery only took five minutes from skin to baby. where as the gallbladder removal took two hours.
this week really gave me an insight into medicine and made me more determined to get into medicine then i ever was before.
i wont have a social life in fifth and sixth year especially because there is the hpat for hopefully med students top take as well as the leaving cert as you need 700 points to study medicine

young scientist exhibition in the rds
on Tuesday the sixth of January we attend the young scientist exhibition in the rds along with the second years in our school. this was really exciting because we had a group of ttys from our school competing this year and they did very well the got highly commended the information was brilliant and was used in a presentation by a man who is trying to get interactive whiteboards in all classes in primary schools. they did so well they had a news article wrote about them in the Irish times.
on Wednesday the seventh we had work experience and it was a new place i was in the playschool i attended all those years ago and it was so different to the last work placement as the last one was nice and relaxing were as this one you cannot talk your eyes off the kids for a second. but i'm not complaining it was a hell of a lot of fun.
on Thursday the eight we had normal classes and alot of rehearsals for the play which were performing on the 27th of January. im quiet nervous for this.

on Friday the ninth we had a talk about mini company and it was not fun as we found out that we have to make a presentation to everyone the day of the competition which is not going to be fun as we have to talk for three minutes, and in practice it was that bad as my group got 2 mins 45 seconds so we need to increase our time by 15 seconds which isn't that bad. also we learnt about the book let we have to do which my group still hasn't finished
