Looking forward

OK, let me start this post by first apologizing for the string of negative posts there. I've had a rough last several days and I just vented on here. Thankfully things are starting to look up this week (and by this I mean no major events have happened yet) so I'm hopeful we can all start to move past a lot of these things.

The next several weeks are going to be intense, followed by several weeks of board studying ending in the whirlwind of board exams I'll be taking. Here's what's going on in the near future...

Tomorrow: Leave at 6am for Jefferson City, MO (the state capitol) for D.O. day in Jeff city; this is kind of a precursor event to Washington D.C. in a month. We'll be talking to state representatives and such about the important issues in the Missouri house and senate tomorrow. When I get back around 5 or so, there's a meeting about 3rd year rotations that I'm going to.

Thursday--Sunday are filled with classes and studying for the last repro "quiz", the repro path practical, and the repro final which are all next week.

Monday morning: take Repro quiz #2, then more classes

Tuesday: More classes

Wednesday: OMT lab and the Repro Pathology practical

Thursday: Repro written final

Friday through Tuesday--home for a quick visit that will be filled with mostly studying for the OMT cumulative practical that is on Wednesday; it covers both years so I'm a little nervous!

Wednesday: LAST OMT PRACTICAL EVER!

Thursday: Board Stuff

Friday: Shelf exam covering the first two years

Saturday and beyond (until May 29th)--board review daily (at least 8hrs), integrative classes, Kaplan classes, and trying not to burn out.

Tuesday, May 29th--9am to 4pm--taking the COMLEX step 1

More studying for a week....

Tuesday June 5th--9am to 4pm--taking the USMLE step 1

Wednesday--most likely leave for Toledo to find an apartment for 3rd year

The next Monday--start summer classes....

Yikes...I have a lot to do! I should go get on some of that studying.

This is all to say if you don't hear from me a whole lot for the next few months, I'm sorry but I'm buried under books somewhere! Take care!
