It's the weekend before blocks, which means I need to post on here to avoid studying. Currently, I am on schedule to finish up at a reasonable point, which I guess is a good thing.
I had my birthday this week, but it was mostly in name, since I was in the library. Apparently, having a birthday is not a good enough excuse to skip exams. Shuman came to get me in the library with a slice of cake, which I thought was pretty cool but it seemed odd that she didn't bring a fork to eat it with. So I was under the impression we were going to the cafeteria to pick one up. As I walked out of the library, I took a peak into the rotunda to see a lot of people I happen to know. And when I walked down to the first floor, they all surprised me. I was caught completely off-guard; I had no idea it was coming. I'm pretty lucky to have awesome friends, and it made me feel a lot closer to my classmates, oddly enough. Also, everyone who wrote on my facebook wall is awesome too.
After, I grabbed dinner at the Thai Savanh. All in all, it was pretty cool, although I probably should have gotten a little more studying between, but it was my birthday, so it was warranted.
Four weeks of material is a crap load of stuff to read up on. I honestly wonder how I'm going to be able to retain all of this information for my exams. The stack of notes is about 3 inches thick, which is a lot of information when you actually open it up and see what's inside. I kept up with all the material during the 4 weeks, but it almost feels like I saved it all until the end. On a cool note, I essentially taught myself cardiovascular physiology this week. I sat down with the book and read all the information until I felt like I had a solid grasp on it. And since it's pretty fresh in my memory, I'll should only have to review it minimally.
Alright, I'm starting to feel the hunger pains, so I think I should look into finding something to eat soon. I've basically run out of food at home, so I think I'll end up ordering out for the next couple of days until I can replenish after finals. I'm surprised the food I had lasted as long as it did, but daily peanut better and jelly sandwiches are starting to get old (although my $5 toaster could be my most prudent investment so far in medical school).
