Tired....of....pathology.....

Oh man, I will be SO HAPPY when tomorrow is over and pathology is finished. I will have survived 32 lectures of pathology as of 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. And I am not looking back!

I don't know what it is about pathology, but I hate studying it. I shouldn't dislike it so much because the material does seem like it should be interesting. But it just doesn't strike me as something fun to study. Actually, I dreaded studying for this exam.

This may be partially due to the fact that I know that I am NEVER going to be a pathologist. I can't imagine working this hard to go and take a residency for 5 years to look at slides and specimens, sit in a lab all day looking at microscopic cells and then doing autopsies for the rest of my career. Nope. Never gonna happen. I think that I might go insane! I want to be a doctor that interacts with patients, gets to talk with them, take histories, do procedures. (Although, never having call at the hospital and making $250K / year does sound attractive...not enough to make me go into pathology though).

Enough about my rant on pathology. My studying is almost over and then I can say that I have completed another medical school course and move on to my next exams(neuroanatomy and physiology).

Night!!!!
