i am so excited to share this video, the last study vlog of my second year of college !! WAAA💞

[🌾open me !]

this video counts for the last week and a half (from the 4th to the 15th of july) of the semester, in which i was studying for my last two exams, and in the last one with the very needed help of some friends. studying in a group setting in the last week helped my tired soul. 🕰

there is more footage at the end (which included me with a very swollen face) that i decided to cut out.. you can see a little bit of my frustration. i didn't want to air any more of it than i did. indeed in this last exam, i felt really sick and was in tremendous pain. as my mom put it, life HAD to make it happen exactly on the day of the exam, it couldn't have happened a week, a day later. there's so much in life that doesn't go to plan. sweating about things we have no control over is at best, stupid.

other than that, i feel like this exam season went better than the ones from the last 3 semesters!! overall, i'm happy with my performance, i know what i want to improve in the next semester (as per usual, never satisfied) but i'm happy with my results. i have to be proud of all the work i put in, all that i've learnt (and i've learnt plenty! many failures, including in non-academic areas of my life). i have to be, or it was all for nothing.

one year of college taught me SO MUCH i can't even begin to describe how life-changing this school year has been. in terms of palpable results, i have improved my gpa! but that doesn't begin to scratch the surface, even though it is a really satisfying thing to say.

the first two years of med school are done, which means i am now moving away from theory only and finally being in the hospital frequently, learning from doctors, patients, nurses, staff. next year i will be every morning at the hospital, which is exciting, SCARY, have i mentioned very very EXCITING?

and in case you don't reach the end of the video, here's a thank you letter to all the viewers:
the support i've received throughout this second year, through the good, the bad and the very bad, meant the absolute world to me. your kindness SENDS me!! above the clouds!! so many times, something a viewer sent made my day/night, made me think more positively. thank you for every message!! every comment!! i appreciated every single last one, more than you know...

after a year, i feel like my videos have grown, improved. i'm proud of the work i've dedicated to here, every video i make and share brings so much joy to my life. i love editing them, seeing your response, and i'm glad i'm doing it. i'm glad i didn't let excuses get the best of me. so thank you so much again, for being on the other side of the screen.. it's so special to me because you don't have to, you don't have to write to me. i really appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart. i want to keep improving and hope you keep enjoying 💌☁

3rd year begins in the 16th of september, which means i get exactly 2 delicious months of summer break! 🌻

what are you up to? how are you feeling, now that july is almost over? i always love to hear from you. thank you for watching and reading.
until next time friends.
yours,
maria
