Pancakes Every Day

This video is kinda long, but totally captures it.

The Truth

Studying for the boards... what does that mean anyway? I'm supposed to "review" 2 (in my case 3) YEARS of information. And not just any info, it's tedious minute details about diseases most people (including me) have never heard of and quite frankly may not exist.

Anyhoo- I'm studying for this junk, and all I ever hear is that "you have to make a such-and-such percentage" on "such-and-such question bank" in order to pass your boards. I came across a blog last night of a previous medical student who posted his scores on such a question bank which were SIGNIFICANTLY higher than mine- and I freaked.

Now I'm to the point of "who cares?" That guy was probably a weirdie that can't speak to a bump on a pickle (I love that phrase) and I'm gonna stop comparing myself.

Really?

Probably not- I can't help it, but here is the truth... hopefully I pass.. the first time... and when I do I will promptly place exactly how I studied and my percentages on question banks. I'll title it "The Truth Part Deux"

I'm not posting now because, well, if I don't pass- that would just be embarrassing.

Lastly- I can hear you out there... your criticisms are coming through the loud and clear. Your saying "Well stop writing on this stupid blog and go STUDY!!"

Okay, I will. Right after I finish watching Medical Mysteries on TLC.

An update before the madness...

It's the last week of class.

I have a 7 days of finals followed promptly by ACLS (advanced cardiac life support) and then board review. My birthday is unfortunately squished in somewhere.

June 15th is D-day, June 17th we're off to COZUMEL!

I'm thinking that in the next few weeks I'm not going to see a whole heck of a lot of the family, including Clint. I'm gonna miss you guys, but I'm guessing you're probably not gonna want to hang out with stark-raving-mad-med-student-before-boards me, excluding of course Clint who is forced to be exposed to me since we sleep in the same bed.

Regardless, it's almost over... sort of. At least on to another chapter.

I haven't posted in a long while and due to the fact that myself and another friend automatically assume that people are dead if they haven't blogged in a month- I'm posting. This weekend was nice and relaxing, except when Zoe scarfed down a fried chicken bone. Saturday she got really sick.

We stopped 4 times on the way to Dustin for her to "do her thing" and finally we ended up at the Vet. She got a shot and some antibiotics and seems to be doing fine now.Clint and I are assuming this is what it is like to have children, except that children can eat fried chicken and they feel uncomfortable about pooping on the side of the highway.

These pictures are not from that day- just thought I needed some flavor...

This is from Easter- Max enjoying the air conditioner :)
