I’m a medical student. My working day
I am a first-year student of the Volgograd State Medical University. I live with my parents in a flat (house) in the Voroshylovsky district. (I am not a native of Volgograd, so I live in a hostel or rent a flat).
Every day I have much interesting and necessary work to do. I always remember that the lost time is never gained and that is why I do not like to waste even a minute.
I get up early in the morning – at about 6 o’clock, do my morning exercises and have a cold rubdown. As I am a medical student I consider that physical exercises are a good remedy for the protection of our health against diseases.
After breakfast I get dressed and leave home. It takes me 30 minutes to get to the University by mini – bus.
Our classes usually begin at 8.30.We have several practical classes and a lecture or two every day. It is useful to us to listen to the lectures because the professors always deliver them clearly and scientifically.
On Friday we usually have a lecture in Physics. Our professor is not only a very good specialist in his field of science but also a qualified teacher. He delivers lectures in his own way and gives us many new and interesting facts about the application of physics in medicine. The professor shows us that at present deep knowledge of this subject will be valuable in our future work.
I also spend a lot of time in the dissecting-room because I know that I shall need deep knowledge of Anatomy in the future. And only hard work in the dissecting room will give me the possibility to gain this knowledge. That’s why there are always many students in the dissecting – room.
After classes I go home, have lunch and take a rest. I am often tired but I understand that every day which passes by gives me much valuable and necessary knowledge.
I also work hard in laboratories and perform different laboratory works. Sometimes I go to the library where I read additional literature and some special medical articles.
I work very hard because I want to be a good doctor.
