Today at placement, my service manager gave myself and another student in my section a crash course on dementia and gave us some resources. It is great because I am doing my dementia notes tonight and I have some extra stuff to add that definitely improves my understanding of different types of dementia and related behaviours.

Today’s experiment is the preparation of potassium bis(oxalato)cuprate(II) dihydrate, K₂Cu(C₂O₄)₂•2H₂O. It’s a blue crystalline solid made by mixing Cu²⁺ solution with K₂C₂O₄ solution.
To determine the purity of our sample, we used PAN as the indicator, which is probably the most problematic one I’ve ever used ;-;
PAN has a orange color in solution. It also forms a red complex with Cu²⁺ ion. At the beginning, the solution is purple (mixture of Cu²⁺ and Cu-PAN), but at the end point the color of the solution can land anywhere from light green to dark yellow depending on the amount of PAN added. As a result, the color jump is not quite distinct and the end point can be quite hard to determine.
0You still gotta have something good for dinner when you’re studying, even when it takes time. My final report is due tomorrow morning, I’m halfway through writing it. It’s an all-nighter for me tonight.

so it’s been just less than a month since i’ve moved into uni!
lectures have been good, lots of reading and assignments and i’ve got my first tutor meeting tomorrow.
it’s been hard trying to find a balance between all the reading, assignments and extra reading but i think i’ve got it sorted now which means using this account more :)
pictured is my unjaded jade AM/PM collection jumper which i adore! and some of the freebies my uni gave us during welcome week (slightly love how my subject got black as it looks so good)

Is there anything cuter than a cute girl being clever and effortlessly solving difficult equations in front of the class?
0momentarily at a not very bright place
I feel like I know nothing. Well, at least a lot less than my classmates. Or a lot less than how much I should know. I keep forgetting basic things. Like really forgetting them, “can’t recall untill someone tells the right answer” kind of forget.
Sometimes I think that I’m that kind of person who can do (and finish med school), with a lot of hard work and not the best but maybe average grades, but it’s all for nothing. Should I even be here wasting everyone’s time and resources?
This doubt is really eating away my motivation.
It will probably get better, but a small voice is always there - what if I’m not enough for this?
To be honest, I know I’m much better with manual and practical skills than with dry clinical knowledge. But my school doesn’t really care about that and I don’t really have a platform to feel success in these fields so… Here I am questioning once again my competence to become a doctor.
