Hi, Mary!

Guess what? I’ve made it! I’d like to tell you that I am a first year student! In six years I’ll graduate from the University (I study at Saint Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University) and start treating children and may be grown up people as well. I will be a pediatrician, which means “children’s doctor”. But pediatricians learn adult diseases too, so I hope to be able to treat adult people as well as children. I may become a family doctor. Or perhaps I will take a post-graduate course, write a thesis and become a medical scientist. I might also take a residency to get a specialization in some field of medicine, so that I could be a surgeon, or a psychiatrist, or a neurologist, or an ophthalmologist (an eye doctor). Anyway, my duty will be to treat people and fight against different diseases.

How was it? Pretty difficult. The competition was hard, you know, it was three to one. In June I took Standard State Exams in Russian and Math (which were obligatory) and a few optional ones and finished school. I had to work really hard for my Standard State Examinations in Biology and Chemistry to pass them with good results. Then I received my Certificate of General Education, arranged all my affairs to be admitted to a medical school, applied to the University and became a candidate. I’ve always wished to be a doctor, you know. I was lucky with the exams’ score, so my wish came true: I was admitted to the University.

There are ten students in our group, and we are all girls. All of us attend our classes regularly so far. I try to take notes of all the lectures. I think we must not miss the lectures. Otherwise we might get bad marks and be called to the Dean’s office. It’s not pleasant. For bad progress in our studies we can lose stipend. Most of us get stipends. There is a good library at the University where we can take most of the necessary textbooks. There is a café where we can have lunch, but it is so small and it’s often overcrowded. We all take an active part in the University social life.

   The first-year curriculum is very complicated. We study many subjects: Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy, History of Medicine, Culture of Russia, Latin language, a foreign language, Math. Anatomy is the most important subject. The timetable includes six periods of Anatomy weekly. I am greatly interested in Anatomy, we work much in the dissecting room. In Biology and Chemistry we carry out experiments and sometimes receive interesting findings. I also pay much attention to my English, as I think knowledge of foreign languages is necessary nowadays.

Later I am going to join a Students’ Scientific Society at a department of the University. Senior students carry out research there and make reports at the Students’ Scientific Conferences. This work gives them better knowledge of medicine, especially practical one.

I live in a University dormitory now, with three other girls. They are great! We’ve already made friends. We usually go to the University together. It takes us ten minutes to get to the University on foot. I spend all my free time with my new friends. We walk along the streets of this beautiful city, go to the theatres, museums, youth clubs and sometimes arrange parties.

I miss my family and schoolmates, I feel like talking to them about everything. I expect to go home for my winter vacation very much.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Yours, Anna.
