A contest for AMSC

Today,there is a contest for choosing the delegates of AMSC.AMSC is asian medical students conference.This year,this conference will be held in Korea.I really want to go there so I join this competition.
One mouth ago,I had gone to EAMSC(east asian medical students conference).As I mention before,this conference was held in Taipei.I ,honorly,represented my school to go to this conference.I have made lots of friend in EAMSC.With the expectation to meet them again,I decide to have a try .Besides,I have never gone to Korea before.Therefore,I truely want to go there this semester.
The topic for this year is about the conflicts to cancer.As a result, the aim of the contest is to test the knowledge and ideas about this issue.The way of presenting our idea will be "speech".I am very nervous when speaking in front of lots of people(needless to say I will speak in foreign language)There are 10 competitors in this contest.One of the competitors is 5th grade!!!!This fact make me lose my confidence. I'm 4th to go on the stage.The more closer to my time of speech,the more I fell nervous!>"<.I said to myself"Calm down,everything will be all right."
The moment the judge called my name,my mind went blank.The only thing I know is go on the stage . I started to make a speech.The topic should talk about cancer conflicts,but all the contents I mentioned were about the mechanism of tumor forming.Originally,there were more ideas in my mind but now only few simple words still "exist" in my mind.Therefore,I spent 4 min. circling around the same topic.The teacher stoped me 4min. since I began.Now,I knew myself probably have no chance to win the contest;as a result,in Q&A time,I was relaxed.I answered the question in a free way without any pressure.Unbelievably,this made me increase some points.Besides,I showed my good attitude toward this conference.While teacher ask me how did I think about this conference,I answered"I consider it much important in culture aspects rather than academics.Making foreign friends is not just "making friends".It's a learning between different culture."I thought this is the most important thing in this conference.
Eventually,I didn't get the qualification to go to AMSC.I am 5th place in this conference.(only 3 members)However,I won't give up.Next time ,I will do much efforts to get the qualification.

Busy week

This week (3/19~3/25) was a busy week.Lots of things must be done.

The diagnosis of Chinese medicine is a difficult subject.I spent lots of time studing this.Because there are lots of symptoms of different diseases.I have to nearly recite all the book!!"When we are doctor in the future",teacher said,"there is no time for consulting books as the patients come to find us."But for me now ,I am not used to studing Chinese medcine and don't have proper way of remember all these contents.
Another thing made me tired was the preparation of music contest.I join chorus in CGU(I sing tenor).This club is one of the biggest clubs in our school.With the ambition to win this contest,we started to prepare last semester!!We spent many time!!As it was close to the contest(3/28),more efforts are invested to get the great honor.For example,we sang till 11:00!!!!!!That means I didn't have time to study while back to dorm>"<.I hope such sacrifices will exchange the happines of victory.
The last thing also cost many time.I went to hospital to learn acupuncture.This was the first time I weared the white gown!Excited and expected,I went to CGMH on Saturday(3/24).I had prepared for this probation for long time,including reading some books about this in advanced.As the probation started,the doctor show us how to diagnosis and how to use the acupucture needle.I really learnt a lot.It costed lots of time but I think it's worthy.
Busy as I was this week,I really utilized any single moment efficiently.I also had good time while concentrating on things I intended to complete. I was happy!!^^

Strange story

Strange story: I like to play piano. I play piano twelve hours every day. Sometimes, I even forget to eat or take a bath and just play it. By the way, I love a person so much. So I always think about ‘him’. Yes, ‘him’! I hate myself but I can’t do anything. I am dora, I like myself. Because I am a good student and I plays piano very well. Every body loves me. Why does everyone love me? Of course it’s because I’m Dora and Dora is the strongest guy in the world forever and ever. None can beat Dora-me.

EAMAC in Taiwan

vEAMAC,which stands for East asia medical students conference,took place in Taiwan this year.This is a winter camp for all the medical students in the east asia.I,fortunately,got the opportunity to join the conference. The conference this year was held in Taipei on 1/28~2/2.The topics we discuss are about epidemics.Since there are more and more unknown epidemics ,we should think about some ways to prevent this catastrophe.During these days,all the delegates would attend some classes prepared in advance with view to receving some good ideas to avoid the diseases breaking out.For example,public sanitation plays an important role while controlling the spread of the disease.Right ways of washing our hands and wearing masks when in public space are both useful knowledge which should be advocated. Besides the academic courses,we had lots of activities to build the friendship of all delegats.There were 150 delegats in this conference and these delegates were separated to 12 groups.I was in Group 2.There were 14 people in our group,including group managers.First day,we didn't know each other and hardly could we find some words to chat with each other for cultural differences and poor English>"<.But little by littel,we started to know each other .In cultural night,all the delegates should wear traditional costumes and perform traditional dance.This activity lead us to realize and respect any culture from different coutries.In addition,we played games together.On the forth day,there were a game in CGU.Every group should follow the instruction to finish the missions.Lots of fun when we made efforts to complete the mission together .Furthermore,we went to some tourist attraction in Taipei.Taipei 101 and night markets in Taipei really left good impression in this journey. There were still many activities in the conference.Any moment in this conference won't I forget.I made lots of friends from Thailand,Korea,japan,Maraysia,Indonesia and Hong Kong.No matter how long,this friendship,I believe, will remain continuously.
