1st Medical School Exam

Yup, yesterday I had the pleasure of experiencing my first medical school exam. Sarcasm is difficult to detect in writing, but to clear things up I wouldn't say that taking a biochemistry exam was at all pleasurable. It was doable, but not fun.

I had studied soooo much. Probably spent way too many hours on my preparation because my notes were all over the place because I took a good majority of the first week of classes figuring out how the heck to take notes. So I had to get things organized in a manner in which I could study.

Despite the difficulties in preparing, I got a good mark on my first exam. It wasn't super, duper, awesome, but it was above the class average and I am absolutely thrilled with that :) I can't wait to take a look at my exam and see where I made my mistakes. I am certain a couple of the questions I guessed on were incorrect. As well, I betcha any money that I made some stupid mistake on a concept that I actually did understand. Oh well, as long as I learn from my mistakes and am able to build upon my knowledge in the future, then this learning experience has been a success.

Well, now it is off to the university to study some more biochemistry. I am trying to keep up with my school work so that I can take all day Saturday off because my parents are coming here to see my White Coat Ceremony (which I am super excited for). I picked up my very first white coat two days ago. It even has the school's emblem on it!! I feel so professional! :)

Bye for now!!!!
