I'm in my 3rd week of medical school, and I'm super bored (thus the SDN perusing). I've got a good head on my shoulders, but I'm not as brilliant as I'm sure some of you are. However, I thought medical school was going to be really challenging and exciting. So far it's a lot of review from undergrad and people lecturing on things you learned from SDN years ago. Meanwhile, almost all my classmates are saying they are studying their butts off and pulling their hair out. I feel way ahead in anatomy from taking and TAing a tough human anatomy course in undergrad, and the rest of the stuff is just replication, transcription, translation, yadda yadda etc. The quizzes and anatomy lab evals we've had were super easy, and everyone has been telling me that you almost have to try to get held back a year. I'm starting to wonder if I'm learning everything I need to be learning. Am I in for a rude awakening? Am I alone?
