It's almost over!
I did not believe the elder MD/PhD students when they indicated they did not enjoy the first two years of medical school. The last two months are why I now understand. Between courses and the ever impending boards, scheduling, and lab work I feel like I am being pulled a million directions at once. Tomorrow is our last final, a COMPREHESIVE pharmacology final. I have not had to take a comprehesive final (ie for a whole year) since HIGH SCHOOL! One could argue that since all my exams in college and medical school assumed you having taken previous courses, that they are comprehesive, but believe me, they are not like this one. How am I to remember 800+ drugs with multiple methods of actions, side effects, interactions, and names! ARRRRRR!
Needless to say, I am taking the rest of tomorrow off. What do I start on Saturday....more studying!

Good luck to my cousin Doug. He is having his second operation tomorrow. My study breaks will be seeing him in the hospital. Hopefully this one will as well as the last one and he will only be here until Sunday or Monday.

Well, I need to get back to pharmacology. Wish me luck!
