Long time no see.....

Good morning!! I was reading Valuemd.com and quickly realized that I have not posted in a while (who would have guessed?). So I decided an update is in order. When I last left all of you, I was about to take my test February 18th. Well, that didn't work out too well. Some personal issues came up and I didn't feel prepared. So, I rescheduled it for March 4th.

To be honest, I wish I would have taken in on the 18th. I figured the extra 2 1/2 weeks would help. It didn't. I think by then I was just too studied out. I couldn't concentrate on learning anything new. I would do a few blocks of questions and then my brain would go blank. It was hard to focus. So, about a week before my test date I decided to do less. I stopped reading First Aid and all my review books. I instead just tried to do as many Uworld questions as possible. I wasn't at all nervous on the days leading up to the test. In fact, test day I wasn't nervous at all.

The test: Not bad. My first two sections were extremely hard. After them, I took a 10 minute break and told myself not to worry. It's okay. I still have 5 more sections. Then I went back in and to my surprise, blocks 3-6 were so easy. I flew through them with hardly any trouble. My last block was medium in comparison, doable definitely. And then I was done. And driving back home to get drunk :)

So here I sit, 2 weeks and 1 day out of my test. Results are released 3-4 weeks after the test. So, next wednesday I may be a happy....or sad. We just have to wait. And of course, I thought studying for the beast was the hardest part. Everyone have a great day!!!
