T-48...

well, with only 48 hours to go before our first dreaded anatomy test, i am feeling moderately well prepared... the good news is that i caught up on my sleep, so that should help greatly with the "heart break" hill of anatomy preparation...

the word of advice from the ta's was the following:

"you should probably prepare for this like it's the hardest test you will ever take in your lives, because we've looked at it, and it's just that hard. So study and prepare with that in mind, and come with that attitude, so when you see four questions in a row you can't answer, you can just move on unfazed to the next ones that you can answer, and come back. If you get fazed, your brain is gonna shut down, and you're probably done at that point..."

yikes...


hyperbole? maybe... a teaching tactic? i don't think so...

i think it's probably that hard...

at least i passed microanatomy and rocked molecular biology... if i could just pass this next one, what a week... this is really the indoctrination into medschool training... the first three weeks had been nothing...

and with that in mind, i'm leaving you all for the lab, my lovely cadaver, many books, lecture slides, notes, and probably 11ish cups of coffee...

oh, but before i go, i wanted to let everyone know that due to the request of one reader, i'm changing the format so as to allow for people to post responses if they want to... so enjoy--but keep it clean folks...

wish me luck,

cheers,
