Figuring Things Out

I am still surviving my medical school courses so far. Needless to say, I have to figure out real fast what does and does not work for the way I think. I feel like I have to learn how to study again, learn how to take notes again, learn how to keep my attention on one thing for more than five minutes again, basically learn how to do everything over again. Yup, that's what I am dealing with now.

It is pretty overwhelming to say the least. Don't get me wrong, I love that I am here learning information that will help me to become the best doctor I can become, but man it certainly is a lot to swallow. Having EVERYTHING in one's life changed is quite an adjustment and I am doing my best.

I have a biochemistry exam on Wednesday. Eeek! I don't think that I am as ready as I could be yet because I wasted the majority of last week figuring out how to take notes and what works for me. So I've been trying to catch up, but it's so darn hard when things are put into fast forward.

Aside from biochemistry, the behavioural medicine class that I am taking is pretty interesting. We have physicians lecture on how to treat a patient with respect and get the most change and action from a patient as possible. It is so doctor-ish and I love it. It's just a hint of things to come!

Now tomorrow I have my first lab. Maybe I'll write about it here (that is, if I am not cramming too much tomorrow night for my biochemistry exam in the morning).

Peace out!!!!!!!
