Exams finished.....2 more weeks of internal to go!

Today marked my second, and last exam in Internal Medicine. I had my oral exam with the Director of the program. We only see him once.....for 15 minutes....for the oral. And its worth 20% of our grade. So, I studied extremely hard because I really wanted to impress him. Did I impress??? Not to sure. But I did get a "you did a good job" at the end and a handshake to go with it, so hopefully he was impressed!

Last week we had the written exam. I didn't even try to impress on that one. In fact, I didn't study at all. I figured if this exam was like any of the others from our school, it would be full of grammatical mistakes with questions written in one language and translated into english and answer choices that range from obscure....to maybe this fits....to none of these are even correct! I was not disappointed in my assumptions. I always seem to walk out of an SGU test thinking "I hope to god that the adminstration of another medical school never sees this test".

I did get some good news from our current residents. They love me!!! They said I was one of the hardest working students they have had, I always seem prepared, and I have been a tremendous help to them. They both gave me an excellent evaluation.

Well, I only have 2 weeks left....actually I have exactly 8 days. I found out today that we have next Tuesday off. Apparently voting in NYC is a holiday. I'll be voting for my favorite beer on that day!!

I hope everyone has a great night. :)
