Oddly enough, this entry is also post-studying, pre-test in nature. We have out last histology exam at 11:30am. Luckily, I'm doing well enough in the class that I don't have to worry too much about the outcome of the test, but I'm still going to try to do my best. I spent the weekend studying for it, so I think I'm pretty well prepared.

Normally, I don't study the day of the test, but I got bored so I looked at slides to jog my member about cells and microscopic features. I figure that it's going to be 10% of the test, so I should pay a little bit of attention to it.

I'm counting the weeks until I get to go home. I now stand at three weeks and one day. Just gotta get through anatomy and MCB, then I'll be headed back to California. I miss it already. The niece and nephew are getting bigger everyday and I really feel like I'm missing out. I can't wait to get back into "uncle duties", which means lots of playing and goofing off.

This marathon they call med school has barely begun, and already I'm starting to feel the the burn. I think I'll work on pacing myself better for the coming semester. Step one is passing all my classes; step two will be passing while being more efficient with my time. They say second semester is the hardest, so I'll make sure to hit the ground running when I come back, but I'll need the recharge.
