Endosymbiosis conquers Biomedicine - A university journal

[Endosymbiosis]

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum and have decided to start my own university journal since I have enjoyed reading others so much. 

What are you currently studying?
I am currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Biomedicine at The University of Melbourne (2020-2022). (I'm still an innocent jaffy )

What subjects are you completing this year?
In semester 1, I completed three core subjects: Biomolecules and Cells, Chemistry for Biomedicine, Mathematics for Biomedicine and one elective, Mind, Brain and Behaviour 1.
In semester 2, I will be completing three core subjects: Genes and Environment, Physics for Biomedicine (), Experimental Design and Data Analysis and one elective, Mind, Brain and Behaviour 2.

What are your future aspirations and goals?
Short term goals, I hope to maintain an 80+ WAM throughout the next three years (which is a prerequisite to entering the Doctor of Medicine, which I'm leaning towards at the moment). I initially thought an 80+ WAM would be quite easy considering in VCE I aimed for 95+ in most of my subjects, however assessment in university is much different . It seems like there is SO much to know and everything is taught so quickly, which is very different to high school. Ideally, I would like to achieve first class honours (H1) for every subject I complete. So far, I have successfully completed this goal for semester 1 . However, my semester 2 subjects are very different. I have not completed physics since year 10 so I'm kind of petrified to reopen that chapter, and also the words 'data analysis' make me want to cry so I am not excited for Experimental Design and Data Analysis.
Long term goals, I wish to study the Doctor of Medicine in 2023 and beyond (I'm not 100% sure about this, but I will have the next 2 and a half years to decide ). At the moment, neurosurgery is a field that I can see myself in. My other option is to pursue research, which has always been an area that has intrigued me. I am fascinated by neurobiology/neuroscience and so that could possibly be a future area of research.
Other non-school related goals include buying a car and finally getting my license (Last year, in VCE, I completely neglected driving and now I am suffering those repercussions as basically all of my friends have their license ). I also have a part time job so I want to keep working as much as I can whilst on university break to build up my savings!

Hey,

Excited to follow along your journey, been looking for a bio-med journal for some time now.

How has semester one been with the corona bs?

Hey Endosymbiosis Fascinating choice of name by the way.

I'm curious to hear how you have stumbled upon neurosurgery for a field you are interested in. I know for me personally, I struggle to decide this early on where I see myself in 10 years. Foresight isn't always my strongest trait
