Test Week Approaches

Alright, so life has been crazy and hectic, but that's mainly due to the impending test week starting this Monday. We have 2 days of dissection, a day for review, a day off and then it's 8-5 testing on Friday. It will probably be the most time consuming test I will have taken since the MCAT. If you're looking for students on the brink of mental breakdown, visit the UFHSC this Friday.

---Mental Saturation---

Well, at this point of learning, I feel that I can't fit any more info into my brain. I'll just blank completely on information that I knew perfectly a week before. Hopefully I can train my brain to bring all that old info to the forefront before I hit test day. Thankfully, there is little to no more information that I have to learn. This week is all about packing it in.

---Weekend Partytime---

I feel that I am partying just a little too much on Friday nights now. I feel completely demolished by Saturday morning and it kind of robs the gator games of their typical joys (although that might be due to the way the Gators have been playing recently). I'm going to try and moderate my fun times over the next couple week to hopefully find a good balance.

---Undergrad Peeps and Piano Bars---

At the Gator game this Saturday, I had the pleasure of seeing my friend David from undergrad. We had a fun time at the game and then went back to Mother's Pub to have a few beers and watch the Alabama-Penn State game with my friend Joe. The game wasn't that great, but David, Joe, and I had some awesome conversations. I learned about the "Angry Dragon" I think it was called as well as David's experience with cougars. Overall, it was a great time. Enough so that this upcoming weekend after my big test, I am probably gonna head down to Tampa/Orlando to visit Dave and go to a piano bar and have some fun. It's just the something I need to look forward to after my test.

---JO Buddies and Trolling---

So I believe some of my new friends in med school are some of the most ridiculous people that I have ever met. For hours on end, we'll carry on talking about Craigslist ads and the term "JOing". Additionally, they have started going on the SDN website (a website for premed students to talk about MCATs and interviews) and trolling ("maliciously playing with" for you non-internet savvy people) the kids looking for info on UF interview days and the school. It's quite hilarious, because no one is more serious about med school than a pre-med student going into interviews and they're being met by the least serious (and probably least sane) people out there, current 1st year students. Hilarity ensues everytime. I love these people.

Regardless of how hard/tiring/burdensome/wild/crazy/overwhelming/sanity-grating it gets, I am having a blast through it all. Med school, FTW.
