It's been a while...

It's been a pretty crazy past month and a half or so! Block 3 ended up going well, block 4 seemed to go alright until I got my phys grade back and it was my lowest test score here at AUC by 20%! It sucks when you drop 11% in a class simply because of one poorly written test. Oh well. The same thing happens as always when it comes to finals....i'm burnt out! I try and study because it is usually the difference between deans list and missing it but everyone, including myself, just get too burnt out to really care anymore. I did what I could and ended up doing pretty well on all my finals...in fact I got the same grade for all three of them! I THINK it'll be enough for deans list but it's going to be pretty close! All in all i'm glad 3rd semester is over with! I really liked 3rd semester, at least content wise, but the amount of information was ridiculous at times. I can't believe it's been just under 1 year that i've been on this island...crazy really. My family was down for the past week which was fun and now I have another 8 days or so before school kicks back up....breaks go by soooo fast!

I'm going to try and really start my Step 1 prep this semester so by the time i start 5th sem I will be through FA once, through the Kaplan Qbank for the classes im done with, and hopefully ID some of my weak parts. I'll probably try and set up a schedule in the next few days, maybe ill post it up if there is anyone who actually reads this lol

blah, block 3 is done....finally! It was a pretty redic block...the tests were OKAY at best and the material was interesting yet copious! Should be a pretty busy week....St. Patty's day, NCAA tourny starting, soccer tournament on Friday, and Wine and Cheese on Saturday.....it never ends!

Quick but productive

The weekend went by fast, per usual, but was weirdly productive. I got through all of my endocrine path and typed up my own notes on it....yes, 19 pages, single spaced. I feel pretty solid on med micro, but still need to do some work in phys. Less than a week til the regatta, which should be some pretty good motivation to get a lot done this week!

Here we go

Hi weekend!

The weekend is finally here! and by weekend I mean tons and tons of time to study! I suppose I should start it off strong by putting in  some good ol Robbins reading on the porch!

Wish me Luck

Face down

Forget the distractions, time to just focus. Pass it on. There is always something  that can take you off your path but you just have to keep pushing....get at it.

Oh people

First off, I have super weird/funny friends...I love it...I really don't know how anyone could do this whole med school thing without a strong support system between friends and family. 2nd, why are some people such douche bags? We had the tri annual? (every semester, but in reality we have 3 semesters a year...blah this is confusing)...hockey tournament on Friday night. This was my 2nd time playing and it was a good time, but yet again it amazes me to see such gym class heros trying to run the show like they're NHL pros. There is a reason you're not in the NHL...YOU'RE NOT THAT GOOD! Sure, you may have been a high school star....here's a cookie...now sit down and shut up because we don't want to hear it. Anyways.....I need to try and blog more! I started another project on my other blog and have another project potentially in the works..we'll see! Hopefully this week will be a little less busy. It ceases to amaze me how busy the week after blocks is! You would assume that since tests are done it would be time to relax...er...it never seems to work out that way, at least for me. As of now I don't have as much planned this week outside of class but that can always change!
