Frustration
Hello all,
I have now been here for 3 weeks and 2 days and am halfway into my third week of class. In 1.5 weeks I have that first test I keep mentioning and it's starting to really scare me. I too a practice quiz yesterday and I didnt get an A, and that scared me. I realized I knew al of the subjects I just had to go over definitions of certain words again and then it made me feel better. Then I found out that these quizzes are much harder than anything we'll actually have on the test, and that made me feel great. But still, Im starting to freak out a little bit. So I keep reading, re-reading and pushing myself. I went to bed at 2 am last night - not a good idea. I had to have a lot of coffee today but I feel pretty good right now, not tired. Still, not a good idea - I have to get used to getting sleep and making myself go to sleep. Taking anatomy was a good idea in college because it is helping me so much right now while others are really nervous about it, along with all of the other stuff we have to know.
So I had a mini breakdown last night, but Im okay today. I just have to keep going. I tried to remember why Im here and that an 80% in med school is an A. But only 120 questions on this test from ALL 6 subjects we study, but then each of those 6 has 7-8 subjects within them and about 2-3 questions will be on each of those subjects. But think that we have like 4-8 hours of lecture PER one of those small topics and that's enough time to give A LOT of information on each of those subjects, so really I have like 48 topics or so and 2 or 3 questons from each topic that will come out on the test -so know EVERYTHING!!! It's just scary and they give a lot of tricky questions.
Oh well, I will push on :) I gotta get through this and I DO enjoy the information I;m actually learning vs. learning what we had to in undergrad and hating every minute of it.
Well, gotta get back to studying so I can pass this test. That was my venting session in a way.

p.s. - I have decided to name the cow that I see every morning (or most mosrnings) Apolla because she reminds me of a cat I know. He's male, so I made the name female. He's orange, the cow is orange. He likes to rub on shoes and she likes to rub on poles. He's fat and she's QUITE large, especially in proportion to the other cows around her :)
