 morning guys and welcome back to the vlog. So today we are going to have a very productive day at university and why are we going to have a very productive day? Because my exam is in less than a week and your boy needs to study. So I've been going to the same library now for about four weeks I think and every single day I've sat in the same one or two seats and I've looked at the same wall for over eight hours. So I really need to change and if I'm going to be super productive today, I need something new. I need a change of atmosphere so that I can get that boost of energy that's going to help me study for eight hours today. I'm going to head to the Mon Library which is part of King's Fudge London Strand Campus. It has a really really lovely reading room, it's a nicely aesthetic and so I'm going to study there for the day and take you guys along with me. So even though none of my friends are going to be joining me today and I'm going to be really bored socially, the good thing is that I'm going to be able to focus on my work and actually get a good amount of things done. For this exam season what I started off doing was taking all the lecture notes that I've written throughout the year and I've read through them, I've tried to understand them as best as I can and I've even gone through the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine. It's like the Bible for medical students if you don't know. I've started doing past papers and past exams and basically what I've done is I've accumulated a couple of documents that have random facts that I think are really important and that I need to commit to memory. So the challenge of today's first session in the library is going to be to commit all of those random facts and all of those important details to memory. Alright so I'm going to put in a four hour session now until 2 p.m. so I'll take you guys with me and we'll have a lunch break after that. I've received a phone call. Alright so I just received a phone call while I was in the library and I had to scramble out of there. Basically I've been talking to this guy who does sort of day in the life videos of students from all across the world in all kinds of different universities. I thought it was really cool so I reached out to him and asked if he was going to be in England anytime soon so that we could film a day in the life at King's College London. Alright nice to meet you. I'm doing well, how are you? That's perfect. So the medical school is located at Guy's campus. Alright take care. Bye bye. So super exciting news. Everything went really really well. We're going to meet up either tomorrow or on Monday to do this collaboration and I'm so excited to share with you guys. Wow. Alright so it's currently 12.20 which means I have not been studying for that long so I definitely need to go back into the library and complete a couple more hours. So what I'm going to do is listen to a series of tutorials that one of the head professors at our university gives for the medical school. They're absolutely so useful. They cover just the clinically relevant information. That's what I'm going to cover now up until lunch and yeah I'll see you guys in a bit. Alright so that is the first four-hour session of studying done. I am really really hungry now so I'm going to break for lunch. I definitely didn't need enough breakfast this morning because I was too busy filming the intro for this video. I'm going to go to this place that I tried out yesterday and I really liked. It's called Pure. So the high-protein chili guac. And while I sit down for my lunch in the words of Ali Abdaal, I'm going to call my parents who live in Greece to signal to you what a good son I am. I really needed that meal. I'm much more awake now so I'm going to head back to campus and I'm probably going to film a bunch of B-roll of the Mon library because it looks really really pretty. You'll either see it in the intro or now. Regardless, enjoy. What's up Pidgey? Come on mate. So this summer, like last summer, I'm going to be doing scientific research and I've decided to go back to the same lab that I was working in last summer. This is a lab in Toronto which is the school that I did my undergraduate degree in and I'm really excited to be going back because I have plenty of friends in Toronto from the four years that I did my undergraduate degree there so I'm excited to see them all as well. Catch up, have a good time and just enjoy the summer. God knows I'm not entering the library without a cup of coffee in my hand. I will be asleep within a couple of minutes. Let's go on a quick, quick journey to get some coffee. That's eight hours of productive work all complete. I'm really happy with what I did today. I did both medical school related things and also a little bit of paperwork that I need to complete before I travel to Toronto. So yeah, overall it's been a really productive day. You know with the exam coming up in just under a week now, I don't really feel stressed or worried about it. I know that no matter what I'm going to do okay. So currently the studying that I'm doing is sort of to improve on my weaknesses, make sure that I know everything that I think I know and make sure that I maintain my level of knowledge until the exam comes. Wow, that was the first time anyone has ever done that while I'm vlogging. Anyways, I'm going to head to the station now. This is the slight behind the scenes when my room is just a little bit unorganized. Necessary five second lie down. Thank you London. Oh my gosh, it's finally summer. Sun is out properly. Let's get a little bit more comfortable, grab a coffee and go outside on the balcony to have a chat. This is absolutely my favorite part of the day. I come home after a long day of studying, sit down on the balcony with a coffee and just bask in the sun. This is kind of like the transition between my first four hour session of studying and my second one. This is the break that I get sort of in the middle of the day between my studying and then the rest. So gym, social time with friends, chilling by myself on my computer, binging Netflix shows, etc, etc. In about three minutes, I'm going to run out of space on this storage SD card. And I've already filled up another one that is 200 gigabytes worth of footage in just one day. Someone tell me how I'm going to edit 200 gigabytes of footage. This vlog is going to be a mess to edit. If you guys have made it this far in the video, please do leave a like and subscribe to my channel just to make up for all the effort I put into this video. Anyways, that is a problem for future me. Probably why I'm in Canada editing this. Probably why I'm in Canada editing this. Also, I genuinely can't believe second year is almost over. I'm going to be a third year medical student in a couple of months. That is crazy to think about. I'm going to be almost halfway done with medical school halfway on the way to becoming a doctor. And you know, it was really not that long ago at all. I was in the same position as many of you guys watching this video now struggling to prepare for the MCAT, finish my exams, prepare for applying to medical school in two different countries. It was so difficult. And I remember that struggle. I know what it feels like. And that's why I still make my UCAM videos to try and help you guys. I want to provide back to future medical students as much as possible. It's been many years a dream in the making to become a doctor. And here I am finally on the path. All I have to do is pass my exams and obviously not slack off the entire year. Make sure I pay attention and just learn learn learn how to be a doctor. I have about one minute left of recording time on this SD card. So I'm going to switch you guys over to my phone. I'm going to go to the gym in a little bit after I relax and have my coffee for maybe 15, 20 minutes. So yeah, I have a couple of people coming over and we're going to set up and play Catan over here for a couple of hours into the night. And I think that is how this day is going to end.
