Step 2s outta da way

This week was filled with obstacles yet i managed to survive and am proud of myself for it.

I took the COMLEX II on Monday consisting of 8 blocks of 44 questions, with an hour to finish each block. They are kind enough to give us a 40 minute break in the middle. I finished with a upbeat attitude knowing I did my best.

I then spent Tuesday hiking on the beach in SD and swimming in the ocean. My first full day off with no books for MONTHS.

Then came USMLE Step II on Wednesday, another 8 blocks with an hour to do each, ranging from 40-46 questions in each block... This test was no freaking joke. I was sweating through each block finishing with 30 seconds to spare. I got worked. I walked out feeling like I did not study enough and spent the next 2 hours driving back to LA in a fog of 'what the fuck just happened'. Needless to say, I am a little concerned about my score.

Now, I sit in the Salt Lake City airport [with free wifi thank you baby jesus]. I am on my way to Grand Blanc, Michigan to spend a month at a level 1 trauma center emergency department with a highly ranked emergency program. I am staying with a resident. Trying to not be nervous, think i am more tired than anything else considering i didnt get to much sleep last night. oops.
