Hell Week Day 1

Today's accomplishment consists of shading 50 small, rectangular boxes for the last Module Quiz ever. To show how serious I was, I even bought a new pencil.

I don't want to think how many more small, rectangular boxes are yet to be shaded.

Tomorrow, we start with the Block Finals. Block Six consists of 4 modules: Reproductive System (6 cases), Endocrine system (4 cases), Neonatology (4 cases) and Connective Tissue Diseases (3 cases). And of course, there's the countless lectures in powerpoint format to read through. All of these, I have to cram inside my head for the next 14 hours.

It's a Herculean task. If I had started studying a few weeks back, maybe it would have been easier. But the thing is, a few weeks back, I had a lot on my plate. There's never a dull moment in medschool.

The reality of the situation is, it is NOT remotely possible for me to read and retain everything with the remaining time that I have. It's not remotely possible for anyone. Our last resort is photocopying the Block 6 Final exams for the last three years, run through the questions, check our books for stuff we have forgotten, and keep our fingers crossed in the hopes that some questions get repeated.

I really have to do well for the next three weeks. I barely have a glimmer of hope when it comes to bagging that scholarship. But then, I must not give up. Miracles still happen.

Besides, I must become an intern in April so that I'd get to wear that much-coveted pleated white intern skirt (cheerleader skirt)!
