Well, first exam of the year is over and still dont know my grade but its probably not gonna be great. I mistakenly thought I could have a life this weekend since it we had 3 days off to study for our Tuesday exam and it ended in disaster. After staying out late on Friday night and sleeping in far to late on Saturday, I begin to study around 6pm on Saturday night and then had about 12 panic attacks throughout the next two days as I realized I had too much information to learn in a very short time. So, Sunday I got to school at 9am and stayed until 9pm and then Monday I got to school by 9am and stayed until 5pm [only because it closed early] so then I went home and studied from 6pm to around midnight when i just gave up. You know its a lot of stuff to learn when you study that much and you STILL are unsure if you passed the exam. It was 127 questions and took me a little over 2 hours to complete.

I went out a bit last night but its back to the grind right away. I have to start getting serious about doing practice board exam questions each day. I will be working at Montclair clinic tonight [will be my 2nd time of the month] so maybe that will help motivate me to study. It helps me remember that I dont want to be stuck treating diabetics and hypertensives for the rest of my life...and to do that I need to do well on the boards so I can go into something fun like cardio [wishful thinking haha]
