THIS IS IT! It has ALL come down to this!! Liberation Day is finally upon us!!! (Well, upon me that is.) My performance on tomorrow’s 8-hour long, 280 question exam will be the result of all the endless studying I’ve committed damn near all of my waking hours to these past five weeks. Even more […]
Read MoreI’m about eight days out from taking my Step exam… And I’m just about over this insanely repetitive lifestyle of intense daily studying. To be real, I highkey just want to take this test and move on with my life. It’s cool and all to be able to synthesize everything I’ve ever learned plus more and to think […]
Read MoreLiberation Day (Test Day -April 10th) is sneaking up on me faster than I expected it to…which just means that I’ll be free even sooner than I expected to be! I’m only two weeks away from taking Step and to tell the truth, I’m much more calmer about it than I ever thought I would […]
Read MoreWELLLLLLP. The time has finally come. I’m officially stepping into my Step Study Block period. I took my final subject exam last Friday, which effectively ended the five-week long Endocrine/Reproductive block that actually happened to fly by pretty quickly. With the end of that block comes the end of my basic science curriculum. Well, I […]
Read MoreSo I’m still out here grindin’. But y’all already knew that. This Endocrine/Reproductive exam that we have on Friday snuck up so fast on me man. March snuck up even faster! How we’ve already managed to get through February, I’ll never know. Also, with March comes Step Study Block. As a matter of fact, the study block starts […]
Read MoreWhoa…when did we get to mid-February?? I swear it was just February 1st like two days ago…but then again, I shouldn’t be surprised at how fast time flies at this point. But being in mid-February means that I’ll be starting my dedicated Step Study Period in about three weeks. Which then means that I’ll be […]
Read MoreWinter Break is Here!!! And you already know what that means… I’m three semesters deep into my MD program!!! After next semester, I’ll be halfway done with medical school! Isn’t that insane? And soon after next semester, I’ll be starting my clinical rotations in the hospital! I can hardly believe it. The closer I get […]
Read MoreOkay first things first. I saw Presidential-Nominee Hillary Clinton and First Lady Michelle Obama on Thursday! It was awesome getting to see them, especially since I learned that they were going to be in Winston only a few days prior to the event. As you can see, the rally was stupid packed…I barely got into the […]
Read MoreAs you can see from the title of this post, I was back in the good ol’ town of Lenoir, NC this past week. Unlike last time though, spring break isn’t starting…instead, I’m starting my Gastrointestinal block tomorrow. Le sigh. It’s okay though, this is the last block to get through before Thanksgiving break! And […]
Read MoreTell me why I went into this weekend TEN lectures behind in material. TEN LECTURES BEHIND. The sad part is, I was actively trying to keep up all last week. But between the SIXTEEN lengthy lectures given to us just last week, my three and-a-half hour clinical skills class, my Clinical Practice Assessment Exam (CPX) where I had […]
