In The Beginning, We Wait For The End

Tomorrow.  Tomorrow is the last exam; the end of my degree – provided that I have passed everything.  I go into tomorrow’s exam only needing one percent to pass, so for all intents and purposes, I am finished.

3 years we’ve all waited for the end.  From the beginning, we wait for the end, but now that it’s here it feels absurdly sudden.  Tomorrow, the real world beckons.

It’s strange when your life is built around the fact that you are a student.  When it all ends, what do we do?   What are we supposed to do with all of those hours in the day if not study?  What are we supposed to do with all of the horrible, frightening freedom?

 Tomorrow.  Tomorrow it all ends.

 So this is the end of the roadmap to medical school, and the beginning of medical school…year one.

Soup of the Day

  One horrifying exam down, two to go.  A few mates and I have been locked-up in a computer lab at the university studying over 10 hours a day for yesterday’s Molecular Medicine exam, and we all felt as though we had covered all bases in terms of what to study.  We were a little nervous, but quietly confident.

The exam took care of that.

All we can do now is move past it and focus on Pharmacology and Infectious Diseases.  What to do with all those molecular medicine pathways?  Alt + Del.

Here we are again at the computer lab, studying for the last of the exams.  We’re not too worried this time; nothing could be as terrifying as yesterday, right?  At least after 3 years of biomedical science, we’ve learned how to keep ourselves properly nourished (besides twisties and candy) – a couple of cans of soup warmed-up using the heat from the exhaust manifold cover of Zac’s Camry will do for dinner.  Mmm… Pea & Ham, anyone?
