good evening again,
let me pick up from where i stopped yesterday though, well i had to travel to Calabar to sit for the post utme examination, if i can remember vividly i got to the pace 2 week early of the examination, due to postponement of the examination which I wasn't aware of, i saw it as an opportunity to get a good look at the state and the university, and honestly speaking, Calabar is a really beautiful place with lots of statures everywhere though its very small compared to many capitals in the country, but it can be ranked among the top 5 beautiful capitals in Nigeria.
the long-awaited day of the examination was finally here at last and i was 100 percent sure i could aced the examination, until i got to the place of examination, and i saw a very very large crowd such of which i had neva seen before that moment, i initially thought there was a program going on or i must have missed my steps until i asked a person standing close to me, what the crowd was for, and he replied that they were all waiting to write post utme for medicine and surgery too, i was amazed and scared at the same time, cause the highest number of applicant to be accepted into the medical school was 105 that year, which were shared as 80 jamb applicants and 25 jupenb applicant, and seeing the crowd before me, it was then i understood the popular saying of many are called but few are chosen, some of which were gurus and top student in their secondary school, the over confidence and strong will which i once had early in the morning suddenly began to die out little by little, but i was really glad i had my father with me who motivated me, honestly my dad had always been an easy going person ever since, doesn't talk too much but knows the right words to use each time he speaks. i got on the line like everyone else, there was a lot of pushing, struggling, frustration and anger in the air, and in the midst all that some people were busy making new friend, and exchanging contacts, how ironic.
as we moved closer and closer to the main examination hall, there was a unison silence, which made it possible to be able to here your neighbor's heart beat. as we moved a bit closer there was a counter where we did thumb print and verify our jamb result and other documents,, honestly i was very scared and calm at the same time, on entering into the main hall, i said a quick prayer and a walked in, looking right and left all i saw was despair, confusion, and anger on the faces of those that were already writing the examination at that point sudden fear almost took over my boby.
i looked around in search of an empty computer, after a while of searching i finally found one.
the exam was a total of 60 question, maths, English, physic, chemistry, biology and general information ( current affairs), which varied accordingly. the exam went very smooth for me though, no much difficulty and stuff like that.
after the exam i traveled back to Lagos.. awaiting my post utme result and admission.
alright i will stop here for the night.

good morning everyone, hope you all had a amazing night, well am gonna pick up from where i stopped as at yesterday night.
when we all entered into the final year class of secondary school, there was a lot of discussion within me, if i really wanted to study medicine and surgery, well just like every other secondary school, lot of people which were far better than me really wanted to study and medicine, up until we bought our Jamb form, there a lot of us who really wanted to school in UNN, uniKIZ ,UI and UNIlag with the likes of others, not many of us really layed eyes on private universities and polytechnics,we were all aiming for top top university, up until we wrote our Jamb Mock examination, Godd many of us couldn,t believe our eyes, it was a that piont we all knew we all had a big problem, well except for the gurus who aced the Jamb Mock examination like it was nothing, don,t quote me wrong i did scored a high mark but not has high as so many people, but quite above average, little by little the thought of attending the polytechnic and reading a pre degree course started to take root inside my head, cause i didn,t want to put all my eggs in one basket. i kept on studying and reading for my jamb just as everyone else, i used diffenent text book ranging from New school, to understanding inc. textbook.
well on the day of my jamb examination i wasn,t nervous nor was i scared, i told myself if other wrote the exam and passed , i too can do it, so i wasn,t concern about the outcome.. well i can recall vividly that the person sitting beside me was shaking, sweating and rubbing his hands uncontrollably. i ended finishing the exam 12 mins before the time, only to come out of the exam and realize that people were complaining that they couldn't finish and i began to question weather truely i finished or i mistakely press submit or must have pressed something wrong, but one thing was certain i had only had a few calculative question in all of my MCQ, most were just picking the correct answer,so you can say the qustions were quite easy to an extent. well i waited a fews days for the Jamb result to be realesed, after 4 days or so the total result were released and to my greatest surprise i scored a marvelling 278 and i was very happy, i can even remember the shout i made when i saw my result, the school hostel warden had to come upstairs to check what happened, i was just running up and down like someone that was really high.. the joy, the thrill, the excitement that ran through my boby was unexplainable, well as at that time the cut off mark for Medicine and surgery was 265 in the university of calabar, unilag was 275-280..and so on and so forth . well am going to stop here today, till tomorrow then,
N/B: for jamb writters i want to tell you jamb is actually not as hard as it is been over hyped, just be calm and chilled and trust me, you will be suprised by your hand work.

good evening every one here at at this site/trend, first lemme start with my name..... honestly i dont think its important, lets just use my username as my real name even though it sound a little made up, i opened this trend just to give a brief information about my experience here at the university of calabar as a medical student.
lets begin with the most fundamental foundation where all of our is destiny about the future we want is decided, weather we like it or not, the almighty JAMB. sigh, this sort of exam is actually the first real obstacle to face if you really want to read the course of your chioce, your
WEAC result will only take a few distance but JAMB is the game changer trust me.
going abit back to my secondary school days, i actually attended Federal Science and Technial College, Yaba, Lagos, back then i wasn,t among the top 5 talk less of the top 10 of my class, my position was always between 17th and 20th as at Junior secondary, well during my Senior Year i did improve but still wasn't among the hot heads of my class, but my grades were pretty much ok for me and i never for once fell far behind in my class except for one time in Ss2 when the thrill of being a Senior student is at it peak.. damnn those were the Good days. alright back to the trend, everyone at my class really wanted to study medicine or medical related course, pharmacy, nursing, Dentistry , Med Lab, and stuff like that, expect me, well at that point though, i wanted to study animal science and its related course, cause of Nateo wild and i carried that mentality through out my SS1 years caused i believed that only guru and walking books in human boby could read a course like medicine and surgery, until i got a proper understanding of the course and it requirment by a guest speaker at one of the school college hall,which i didn't really have intention of going but have forced against my own will but am glad i was present there, can't remember the theme of the program nor the speakers, but it actually opened my eyes to have a bigger understanding of the course. well back to reality my grades didn't change rather its was reducing little by little most especially in SS2.. trust when i say that class is the most mentally difficult class in Sec school, speaking from experience though.... lemme just stop here for the night, have a great night.
