Scholarly pursuits.
I've been out here at my parent's house studying for boards for about a week now - I feel like I'm learning a lot but my practice test scores aren't improving, if anything they are worse overall.
So frustrating. But I think that is just where I'm at now. I'm sure it'll get better. At least my score is well above passing so really there is no need to fret, but I really want to do the best that I can, obviously.
I've been able to put in 8-10 hours of studying a day out here. It's nice to wake up and see the beautiful green fields and watch the birds. It's all so peaceful and very conducive to focus.
I do miss Graham. But. He is distractingly adorable, so it's definitely a good thing that he isn't here right now. I am able to just attend to the task at hand. And I have taken a couple of evenings off (Top Model anyone??) so that helps.
Really, this test is a HUGE milestone. The pinnacle of my basic medical science knowledge. A right of passage for all doctors. I will really feel one step closer when this is done.
Look what Graham got me for my birthday!. I just love it. It's made out of a real sea urchin found on the beaches of Turkey.
