The first pathophysiology test was horrendous. Averages were really, really low (1/2 the class failed). We had a huge meeting with the directors of the course as well as the other courses, the Dean of Students, the Provost of the school, and so on....after about 2 hours of student complaints we were told the course would be curved.....good thing?? Who knows, all I know is I'm doing just fine and I haven't studied for pathophysiology since this first test and I stopped going to lectures back in September. I have been watching Kaplan videas and doing questions and studying my ass off for Step One. On the second test I did even better. So no worries here.
Speaking of which....Step One. I decided to not take a Kaplan course like many of my fellow students. I couldn't see spending $3,000 on a course for 6 weeks. Not to mention I would have to sit in lecture for 7-8 hours per day for 6 days a week. My attention span would not hold. So, back in July I decided to use this whole semester as my study time. So far its working really well. Once I get back home, I will do some practice tests to judge my weaknesses and strengths and then study my butt off for 6 weeks. I'm hoping to take the test the end of January which is much earlier than most of my friends (who will be taking it in March). I guess I'll have to see how my plan works.
Mit, Marie, Dy, Shelly, and Laura all came to visit me. YAY!!! They all came on November 8th and stayed for a week. I was so excited....its nice when friends or family can come to visit. We had a great time. We went on a hike, and river tubing, and on a sailing trip. And we went to the beach alot!! Here are some pics for you to enjoy:
Did I mention that the boat trip above had all you can drink alcohol. :)
My internet is SO slow right now....so, i'll have to end here for now but I promise I will write again soon....and besides I have to post pics of me in a dress!!! What??? A dress?? You heard it....come back for more real soon!! Have a good night!!!
