Members don't see this ad.

First day of med school was exhausting. Fell asleep once already.

Haha. Mine wasn't quite that bad.

The money helped

Thanks for all the well wishes guys 🙂🙂 I 😍 y'all!

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Managed to make it through all of the material from today again tonight and pre-read for tomorrow as well. And it's only 9!

 

[Anotherface]

fun!


So, my first day of lecture was going well... then I got an email entitled "please see me ASAP" from the Dean of Admissions. Well needless to say I freaked out for a minute... then opened the email to find that he wanted to see me about some additional scholarship money he allocated for me...

After classes were over, I went to his office. It turns out the "little additional scholarship money" is almost 10k a year! 😱 Between this and my other school scholarship, I've got tuition paid for!!

God is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!

I had to exchange my white coat. The L tall didn't quite cut it and looked a bit.... small on me. So I got an XL tall today. Made some new friends. YAY for med school!

🤣🤣🤣Im trying to picture you in a small white coat. Try wearing the L may be you can set a trend.

 

[Akasha]

i hope not during class LOL
how long was the day?

Was during the lecture right after lunch. At first was ok but then I dozed off during the second half of it.

Our day is 8 AM to 5 PM, no breaks except for lunch.... And gonna be like this for the entire year.

BTW, just a reminder for anyone who hadn't heard, sometime this month we're probably going to open a brand-spankin new c/o 2013 thread in the Allo forum 🙂

Yay!

fun!

That sounds terrible🙁, is attendance mandatory?

Not really but I would probably still go unless if it starts getting really bad. Maybe it will be better tomorrow if there's no thunderstorm tonight.

Oh, yikes. Is it at least pass/fail?

We go 8-12 starting next week.🙁

 

[DrYoda]

I'm not sure how long our classes are, all I know is they are recorded and available on the internet👍.

except clinical skills, but that's only once a week.

 

[Akasha]

Nope, it's like a 3 tiered system + fail

 

[DrYoda]

I'm hungry

 

[Akasha]

I'm hungry

I'm sleepy but can't fall asleep 🙁

Don't worry, I will follow you in this. Sometimes I feel that I have borderline narcolepsy because I find it rather easy to fall asleep in class.

Our schedule isn't quite as bad, but we have MTWThF: 9-12 Biochem, and then on MTF: 1-2 Anatomy Lecture 2-5 Anatomy Lab, W: 1-2:30 Small Group/ clinical stuff, and we get Th afternoons off.

Nope, it's like a 3 tiered system + fail

We apparently have a 5 tiered system + fail, so it is A, B+, B, C, D, F. D is like a marginal pass and therefore equals fail. Plus we also get a GPA to complement the letter grades so it is like we are still in UG. My roommate told me that he knows people who have 4.0s and that is basically the same as know people who have gotten honors in all of their classes😱

Anyone getting cold feet/ second thoughts, cuz I am freaking out...



Oh and where are my manners, Good morning everyone!

 

[Akasha]

Today is going to be fun! Less than 2 hours of sleep lol. Med school anxiety or something.

Good morning!

After a day of classes I have realized that I am surrounded by brainiacs 😱. Our grading is just a straight percentage. I just hope to stay in the top quarter of the class

I like to call them 'pre-game jitters'. They should subside soon.

I think that's how I'm going to feel after a few hours

 

[aznb0y129]

That just means we have to work harder than everyone else 🙂

 

[DrYoda]

Good morning guys (well, afternoon at this point😀).

 

[DrYoda]

We do H/HP/P/F all four years.

Not sure how I feel about it yet
+Rewarded for doing well
-Will probably cause to worry more over test scores.

 

[DrYoda]

Hey! My email has spell check in all the languages I speak!

 

[DrYoda]

Of course, english is the only one that my spelling is poor in.🙁

 

[Dr Lyss]

[riceman04]

....and my class is NOT diverse at all

 

[Myuu]

....and my class is NOT diverse at all

Aww, sorry to hear that. 🙁

How is your first week of med school going?

I'm on week 5 and have an exam on Friday.


Edit: Feel free to answer that in 19 days.😳

 

[funkydrmonkey]

Good morning... I apparently have to go get a sleeping bag since our orientation is a retreat about 80 some miles away... And I thought I was done with shopping🙁

 

[Dr Lyss]

....and my class is NOT diverse at all

it's Cali, wat did you expect?


I singlehandedly made sure my class would be diverse. I harassed all the minority students I met until they agreed to go to Cornell

 

[DrYoda]

Damn, and I though we were starting on the late side! Enjoy the extra few weeks of summer.

 

[olemissbabydoc]

Good luck guys.

I never realized med schools had such frequent tests.

 

[DrYoda]

I guess it makes sense though, pretty much makes it impossible for large periods of slacking.

 

[DrYoda]

Do any of you guys do the speed up recorded lectures thing?

and if you do what program works, I will have to try this.

 

[Dissected]

yep, exactly. I didn't realize how much material we were covering till i sat down and reviewed it last night. in 3 days we've covered the same amount of material that would've taken two weeks or more in my undergrad biochem course .
