UP THE LOOP DE LOOP

Up the Loop de Loop

First sem is over and done with aaaaaaand....i have to say that I am tired as hell. 

One of the reasons why i havent updated my blog is that september and october were hell months. Every other week we had our major exams or evals as we called it, and within each week, there were quizzes, recitations, dissections scheduled to make our studying just a little bit harder.

Of course, the higher years have it waaaaay harder. 

We have about 5 subjects (with anatomy being divided into gross, histo, and embryo) and at least  our exams were scheduled every other week. Unlike the higher years, they had about 7-12 (?) subjects (sorry if im a little vague here, cant remember what the 2nd years were telling me), and all exams were scheduled in the same week, 4 days in a row. Imagine trying to study for all that with monster subjects like Pathology, Microbio, and Pharmacy haunting you every night. 

I seriously dont know how they can manage it, but, you know, we are med students, we have to be trained in managing gigantic workloads.

But these workloads do take a toll on the students. As one doctor-professor pointed outnduring one discussion, that all the students were gaining weight, breaking out, and just looking stressed out. A long sembreak is what we need to get healthy and in shape for next sem. 

3.5 more years to go before grad...
