Hey,
So I'm a D1 and the way my school is set up now we are doing entirely medicine (no dentistry, aside from a dental anatomy course). We have yet to even see a real tooth lol. I never had an interest in med school.. so I'm not too surprised that I'm not overly enjoying school right now.. but it's just so hard to sit for countless hours studying the pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease or the anatomy of the scrotum and feel excited whatsoever about that!
We're in exams now.. we have 11 exams in three weeks and I am just finding that the constant studying of these med courses is getting really depressing and overwhelming in the medical details.
Does anyone have any feedback/can relate to this? I am happy to be here.. it took a lot of work to get here.. but I am finding it harder and harder to keep my eye on the light at the end of the tunnel (when we start drilling.. or learning about dentistry!) esp with exams.. although they're more than half done which is good!
Hopefully this doesn't ruffle anyone's feathers.. just needed to get this out so I can concentrate back on school! And bring on Xmas break!!!! (all 10 days of it lol)
Thanks for the vent sesh
