Week 9, Sunday, Mars 16, 2025 🫀

I finished the first week of my internship in cardiology. And it was very tiring. But only physically, which is good because the environment is pleasant, I learned a lot and I'm enjoying it, despite the amount of work.

That's why I didn't study as much as I wanted for the residency test, but this week my workload will be lighter so I'll have more time to study.

Keep swimming...

‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸I am

ahmad from Gaza. I am 26 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family. 🇵🇸💔💔

We try to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis, south of Gaza. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it's not just hunger, disease and fear; Rather, it means actual death.

With a heart weighed down by sorrow, I reach out to you, hoping that kindness and humanity still shine in this world. My family and I have lost everything—the home that once sheltered us, the walls that echoed with laughter, the warmth and security that every human deserves. The relentless attacks on Gaza have turned our lives into a daily fight for survival. What was once a place of comfort and love is now nothing but rubble, and we are left with nothing but the clothes on our backs and a fragile tent that barely stands against the bitter cold.

Now, our days and nights are consumed by hardship. The icy wind pierces through the thin fabric of our tent, leaving us shivering, with no escape from the freezing temperatures. Food is scarce, clean water is hard to find, and the most basic necessities have become luxuries beyond our reach. Every day, we struggle—not just to live, but to preserve the dignity that war tries to strip away.

Amid this suffering, a new life was brought into the world—my brother’s daughter, an innocent soul who took her first breath in a tent instead of a warm home, her tiny body wrapped in whatever scraps of fabric we could find. She was born not into joy, but into loss, into hunger, into the unforgiving reality of war. And as we watch her, so fragile and pure, our hearts break knowing that we cannot give her the comfort and security she deserves and we cannot provide enough milk, diapers, medicines, and vitamins for her😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

I do not ask for much—just a little help to keep us going through these unimaginable times. A warm blanket to protect us from the cold, food to fill our empty stomachs, or even simply sharing our story so that others may hear our cries for help. Every small act of kindness can make a difference. 💔🍉🇵🇸😭

Your generosity has the power to bring warmth to our freezing nights, hope to our despair, and life to those struggling to survive. May the kindness you extend be returned to you a hundredfold.

I am so close to being done with the materials for my exam at the end of the month. Next week might be my last week of lectures before the spring break, and to be honest it feels unreal. It feels like this course just started. Anyway I am making good progress with everything, I am trying to mainly focus on the exam which is getting nearer and nearer. And after that I'll figure out the rest.

27/50 days of productivity:

  • read first thing in the morning
  • finished working on the second to last recorded lecture of my spaces of knowledge class
  • started working on the last recorded lecture which I am definitely going to be finishing tomorrow since it's just half of the lecture
  • made a well written list of all the materials i had to study for the exam, so that on the day of the exam I can give it to the professor to remind her what I worked on
  • attended an in person lecture
  • Irish on duolingo
  • finished listening to the audiobook of A Psalm For The Wild Built and cried about it

📖: The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji, A Psalm For The Wild Built by Becky Chambers

Not to sound dramatic, but there is this balance of feelings that comes with a system change: (1) crippling failure (2) happiness and joy at making a house a home.
