I'm sitting in lecture and I feel like it is just a waste of my time. I had my Geriatrics exam this morning and hopefully that class is over. The exam was a little bit more difficult than I thought. I probably should have studied more, but old people don't seem to be that complicated. I just hope that I passed the exam, so I don't have to repeat it over the summer. Now I have to catch up on clinical exam reading.I should have stuck to the reading schedule I made for myself, then I'd almost be caught up right now, oh well. I still have a couple days left. I also need to go over the practical part b/c I feel like I'm not that good of a doc yet. I just can't see the eye that well... it's hard.
Yesterday we got a new facilitator for PBL. All I have to say is I'm not thrilled. Our group has been having conflict although I have to say that we have calmed down a bit, but our new facilitator is Dr. Tijoe. She is the coordinator for the class, so if we have a problem there's no one we can really go to unless we immediately go above her head. Also, BB as I call him, has her as an advisor, so he thinks they are buddies and everything that she says is like the word of gold. I just don't think that it was a wise move on their part. I don't think that conflict will be resolved if anything I feel like this causes a potential for conflict. I just hope that he just stays his shut up uninvolved self now. I mean yeah that sucks b/c it defeats the purpose for PBL, but I'm sick of his know it all attitude that he always thinks he's so much better than the rest of us.
Today I get to shadow a free surgical clinic, so that is exciting. It'll be slightly rushed b/c I have to make it back for class in time which isn't cool.
Class is over. Joy. Back to studying. blech
