I can't tell you how nice it was to have this time off. I'm definitely not ready to go back to school, but what else is new. I just called and left a message with my host family to let them know that I'd be going there tomorrow, bleh. School would be much more enjoyable if I could just live in my own house...is that so much to ask? Anyway, for ( Read more... )

I'm done with the second block exams...yea! Histo kinda sucked, HPD was ok, not sure about Gross. I think Gross went ok, but it's hard to say. Hopefully we'll get our grades before Thanksgiving. The test was really long though...83 questions yesterday for Histo, 65 for HPD (today), and 100 on Gross (today). Long. Whatever, done with head and ( Read more... )

Test is right around the corner...not feeling real confident especially after looking at some old tests. You know...I really didn't think they would want us to know EXACTLY where every little bit of nerve, artery, etc. goes. Now, I realize this may sound stupid, "Well, of course you need to know where they go...hello? You want to be a doctor... ( Read more... )

Thanks Tristi for enlightening me...evidently I don't enjoy being a southerner. Bizarre...thought I pretty much enjoyed it:)

Today got off to a decent start...then went downhill. I'm trying to stay positive about school, but it's pretty hard when you've got so much crap to learn and it seems like you'll never get there. I'm about to get started for the evening, and I guarantee you I'll be studying at least until midnight...it's 5:15pm. I do this everyday, and I feel ( Read more... )

I loathe the trigeminal nerve and all of its branches. Facial nerve, you are running a close second, but trigeminal...you win ( Read more... )

It was nice to take a little break from studying after my first exam, but I got back to the whole studying thing a day or two ago. I've decided that my complaints over the intricacies of the upper extremity were completely ridiculous as we've now begun the infamous 'Head and Neck' block. I've spent the last three hours of my life trying to figure ( Read more... )

Well, I've gotten thru my first set of exams as a med student...yay for me:) It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, but it definitely didn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside either...haha! It was also really hard to stay focused. We had 60 questions for embryology and 90 for gross anatomy...suffice it to say, I'm brain dead. I ( Read more... )

So, I definitely knew when I got into this whole med school thing that it would be hard, but this is nuts. The volume of material is just unbelievable, and I feel like I can't get thru all of it. I have my first test on Tuesday, and I know for a fact that there's going to material that I'm just not going to be able to get to. Oh well. I'm going ( Read more... )

Just a brief entry...I'm stressed. I'm very stressed. I'm so stressed that there's probably some sort of medication that I should be on to combat this. I'm anxious, I'm irritable, I'm tired, and I'm just plain worn out. My mind wanders to the point that I get nothing done which only works to stress me out even more because I am, of course, ( Read more... )
