One Last Dash

Only two more days to go until our final test! I'm giddy with excitement. Only a little bit more and we can kiss goodbye to days defined by "all day studying", for now.

I'll say, this has been the most challenging course so far in my entire educational experience. The sheer amount of material to know in such a small amount of time is mind-boggling. I earnestly salute the medical school students and residents who are able to do this for years on end. I would suffer from burnout long before the end of a single year, which is actually what I'd like to talk about after this final exam is done and over.

Thanks as always for your support!

  1. Best wishes for the final test! Will you get a break after this or do you head straight into the next semester?

  2. Mind bottling. You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped, like in a bottle.

  3. Think of it this way Forrest- you are 2/3 of the way through the hardest part of the program and have done fantastically! Get through Fall semester, enjoy the White Coat Ceremony (you'll deserve it) and Clinical Orientation, a nice Christmas break with your family and then the real fun starts in Clinical rotations! Everything you have crammed in your head this year will be applied next year...you'll be surprised how much you remember and know- Cherie
