... and they were gruelling!
It's not that medicine is hard, it's that there's so much volume! My hand is still hurting from 3 days of exams and it was only 5 hours total of exam-writing. I ran out of time on the main exam, but I think I passed. I also learned my lesson - don't cram in 4 months of medical school into 3 weeks. It's too much. Study during the weeks, consolidate as you go, and focus on past exams when you start to get into exam study mode. That way it won't be as ridiculous.
Anyways, I'm off to celebrate! Gonna go travel around Australia, see what this beautiful country has to offer :)
Will update with musings on Australian travels when I get back and also an update or two I have about Flinders (eg. they're likely changing the degree from a BMBS to an MD, but not for the reasons you'd expect).
Will post details when I get the time. Check here or medinoz for updates. In the meanwhile, I'm outta here on a well-deserved vacay!

I'm a Canadian (Ontarian) strongly considering heading to Oz for medicine in February and just found your blog... quite an interesting read! Have you begun to look at all at the process to get permanent residency? I also have my MSc and am hoping that this might play a bit in my favour but it sounds like many people go a route that requires them to work 20 hours a week for two years then apply. I have been checking out the immigration site but it sure is confusing! Any thoughts?
