I am at a loss for words, and therefore cannot even come up with a suitable title for this blog.

Tomorrow starts our first found of tests for term 5/6. I have pathophysiology at 1pm. Am I excited? scared? nervous? feeling like I will rock it? NO....none of the above. This is actually the first test in medical school that I have no feelings. And maybe that has alot to do with this department. See, this is an old class with a new look. The school decided to change it up a bit....which is great...change is always good. But in typical SGU fashion, they did it without a plan in place. And because of that, no one knows what to study, where to study from (lecture handouts, books, wikipedia), or really what is going to be on the test. These last 5 weeks have been extraordinary vague and we typically get the following response from the department: "please bare with us and be patient as we are new at this too and we are trying to work out the kinks". Great!! Thanks....and while you are doing that...you are playing with MY FUTURE AS A DOCTOR!! So, needless to say I really don't know what to expect for tomorrow's test. I'm just going to go in and do the best I can and know in the back of my head that I have 2 more tests this semester to make up for this one if I bomb it!! :)

Then wednesday is clinical skills....this class is funny. We have to come in and take a midterm that only counts 8% of our total grade. No, you didn't missread that one.....8%. What a waste of time and not to mention paper. I will definitely not be studying for this one.

No...all my time after pathophysiology.....from monday night until friday at 1pm will be towards pharmacology which happens to be the biggest bear I have encountered in grenada. Now, i hate to memorize with a passion which is why classes like parasitology and microbiology gave me such trouble. This class however, takes the gigantic 5 tier wedding cake. The amount of absolute bull**** and minute details we have to "memorize" and "know" is mind boggling. I thought once we get into the hospital we have PDAs....oh, and those wonderful people that go to school for 5 years straight knowing ONLY medications....hello pharmacists!! So, i will be spending my entire weekend cramming info into my incredibly shrinking cranium only to forget about it next week.

Although I must mention that the season premiere of Grey's is thursday for 2 hours!!! So excited!! I will definitely be taking a much needed break for that.

Alright, well before I go let me fill you in on some of the things that have happened over the last few weeks:
- IGA has no ice cream (bastards)
- IGA has no soy milk (AHHH)
- Union made up of security guards, bus drivers, and other ancillary staff went on strike last week...from my perspective, this was kind of funny (only because I live off campus and have a car)
- My headphones broke (but I learned from term 2 and had a spare pair....i'm too smart!!!)
- I stopped working out for 1 week (tweeked my back)
- OBGYN prof pronounced "centimeters" as "sontimeters" (and she said it ALOT in regards to the dilated cervix and the size of the baby's head....9.5 sontimeters)
- Tom Brady got hurt (BOO FRIGGIN HOO.....little whiner)
- Farewell Yankee stadium (just tonight....how sad)

Alright....i'm off to bed for some sleep before the big day of fun tomorrow. Have a great night.
