Finally it is here - the final week of the semester! I got my path lab exam back - got a B. I was hoping for higher but doesn't everyone, haha? I am happy with it though and will gladly take it. I heard alot of people did really poorly so I am grateful. Next, I took my behavioral shelf. I was really happy with how that went and am hoping it went as good as I thought! So... what's next on my agenda??? Mini #3 time on Tuesday and my final exam (gulp) on Thursday. Studying is going alright but I still have alot to do to get ready for it. Pharm is giving everyone a really hard time but I am starting to think that I will be able to get a handle on it. But there is still all the other subjects to worry about too. I just hope I can get through it all. We will see.
This has been on my mind and I think It's kinda funny how now that I think about when people say "I would never go to a doctor that got Cs". Okay, I'll admit I got one already - biochem in my 1st year - big woop. But the time that they give you to study for some of these exams is just ridiculous. I have my final exam 36 hours after my mini... While - yes, it is possible to work on final stuff before - it is not as easy to let go of studying for the mini exam. You want to do well and giving up precious time to study for the final - well it is a toss-up. What to study for? Same when I was in second and even now I am reminded when I hear second semeters talking about it. They have - what - 5-6 Shelf exams in a week??? THEN a mini two days after? Now come on. I do understand some people have "the gift" and think that "oh it's not so hard if you just try". Right, lol... It is very hard and even if they are showing off like they "supposedly" have it all under control... Well, I call your bluff lol. :)
Just a little rant that caught my attention lately. Not being a perfect 4.0 doesn't mean you won't be a good doctor and if patients don't come to you for that reason - well who needs 'em anyway, right? Just kidding! Haha - what I mean is though that I think that they are missing out because most of whom are not book-worms make up for it in character. I know too many people that - well, it just comes easy for them and I am happy for them - really. But at the same time I think it doesn't really help them in the end because they (some not all, so no one yells at me) have never had to be pushed, never had to persevere over some hard times and keep going. That's at least how I think. I think with all the hard work I have put in, while I am not a 4.0, I make up for it in so many other ways and in the end I will be a well-rounded, competent and respected physician that will be a great teacher and guide to those that I will mentor in the future - which is something I am looking forward to more and more everyday!
Okay, more work to be done if I am coming home this week!!! Well - either way I'm coming home :P but you know... Love, love, love! :D

agreed! bravo, sistahhhhh :D
lol... people do make it up in other things... u're very involved in community work and service... :) And also..sometimes it's better not to be so TYPE A. More down to earth, easier to relate, understand failure, more empathatic, etc. That's how I see it and even Dr. Goff said that he'd rather go to a non-straight A doctor.
:) hang in there, jessica!!! 4 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!
