We were supposed to get back results for our final assignment today. But as usual, it has been pushed back to Thursday, when we're supposed to find out if we passed the year or not. I hate offices, I am under the firm belief they want to cause heart failure in 250 medical students waiting in front of their computers desperately hoping to have passed. Or maybe it's just me.
I would be the first to admit I slacked this year. I must first justify something. The material isn't hard when you're learning it in lectures, but when you're sitting with all your notes, a month to finals, you realize: F@#$, should have kept it up through the year. Which other degree program expects you to learn over 2 feet of notes for a single 3 hour exam? Then reading your notes, you think, this isn't too hard, I understand this. But the key here is do you remember all the tiny, inconsequential details they seem to love asking on exams? They don't ask you what is the importance of this pathway in the body, they as, what molecule does this molecule affect?
I should have studied more. Now I'm under the constant fear that I didn't pass those exams. Then I'll have to fly back in the summer and resit. There goes my entire summer. Guess I can only wait until Thursday. In the mean while, I'll pass time by reading other medics/past medics' blogs about their years in med school. Maybe it would motivate me to study more. I can only hope.
