3.5 months

3.5 months seems like a long time if you put it into perspective:

- It's more than the length of 1 trimester in pregnancy
- Over a quarter of a year
- The length of 3 lunar cycles
- The length of or longer than some prison sentences

But that's how long it is until I finish the second year of my degree, and I'm really starting to realise how difficult this year is actually becoming, and after some mediocre exam results (but still much higher than average for the modules!) it's looming on me just how much I have to do in these next 3.5 months until I complete this year. This semester I have to:

- Cement the 2:1 I'm currently sitting on to give myself a chance to get into med school
- Prepare for the UKCAT/ GAMSAT
- Organise myself some more work experience, including preparing a trip to Thailand
- Turn 21! (Not so much I have to do, more as in it's coming!)
- Talk to my personal tutor for advice on getting into medical school
- Pass this year!!!

Therefore I'm going to work so hard this semester and get organised, because it's only getting harder from here, wish me luck!!

Providing all this needs to happen, 3.5 months really doesn't seem that long...
