I really hate people who like to talk up their ability to cook when everything they make tastes pretty terrible to me. And I am further baffled that no one else seems to see it too. Even worse, I hate when people go out of their way to try and bake things from scratch that end up being awful when using a mix would have made it both easy and ( Read more... )

We had our last Neuro exam today and simultaneously began Cardio. We actually got our "unofficial" grades from the exam this afternoon, which is a really quick turnaround. The happy part is that I FINALLY made an A on a written exam in a "real" academic course. (I got an A on our first OMM exam, but I feel that OMM ought to place more emphasis on ( Read more... )

We have been in the midst of a pretty brutal test schedule. And we will continue having at least one exam a week up until we leave on break in December with the exception of one week. I also just made the unfortunate mistake of looking ahead in the calendar to next year as far as our spring break in March. It pretty much just keeps going like that ( Read more... )

We had three tests today. The only one I feel confident that I did really well on is the one that matters the least. And don't give me some shit about how I probably did just fine b/c the last time we had multiple tests in one day, I ended up failing. "So what's the evidence...?"

Fucking Neuro.... Did I ( Read more... )

Yet another entry about stuff that I'm pretty sure is meaningless to any non-med student (or physician who also had to go through this once). But there have been some OMS-I milestones recently that I felt needed to be documented ( Read more... )

I schooled the legislative director of the Texas Medical Association on the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2011 at a lunch meeting today. She had never heard of it. Tack that on to some of the ignorant shit she was saying about the Affordable Care Act, and I'm thinking I might need to quit med school and bump this chica out of her job ( Read more... )

I should have written about this sooner while it was still fresh, but we have 2 test today (1 down, 1 to go, technically 66.7% done), and I had slacked enough on my studying already ( Read more... )

A few notable things happened today ( Read more... )

I apologize that this will make little sense to anyone who actually still reads my LJ, but I feel the need to document certain things about medical school to reflect upon later for my own purposes ( Read more... )
