don't take this as a gunner question but...

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For one who hates studying, you sure are doing a lot of that.

I didn't study prior to 2nd semester, but I'm sure some people did. It wouldnt have helped.

haha it's more of an anxiety thing driving me to wonder if I should be rather than something I'm actively enjoying
 
I started reading my Neuroanatomy text rather half-assed, simply because the prof. said we should start "getting acquainted with the language".

is neuroanatomy normally a MS2 course???


We do it in MS1.
 
I think that's less of a gunner question and more of a "i forgot what to do with my time when I don't have stuff to study". So the answer is... kinda. I am going through USMLE books (i have it in 4 months). I would call it perusing books, not actual studying. That said, I would recommend reconnecting with old friends, playing with children in a park, and maybe going to the snow. But I do feel your pain.
 
Peri, but you have the USMLE in 4 months, so that's understandable. I've began studying for the boards as well as it's coming up.

Honestly, I don't remember doing anything more than relaxing, spending some time with family, shadowing a few docs, watchin movies, having fun, etc. Don't waste it on studying, but if you must, then I'd take a look through immunology. I know a lot of my classmates had issues with that.
 
"i forgot what to do with my time when I don't have stuff to study"

This is me. I got a public library card and checked out a stack of "fun" reading books. I am not used to having time to do nothing at all. Its kind of unsettling at first, like I should be doing something.

I started to read abdominal anatomy since we are starting that next week, but I was just wasting time and not retaining anything since I wasn't under the gun yet.
 
I've been reading a bit of my CV physio textbook, but a pretty relaxed pace. I only started, because my brain started to hurt from the amount of bad TV I was watching. Besides, I commute to school, so it's not like I flew across the country for the holidays.. because I if I did I totally would not be studying.
 
I have a SP on Tuesday so I did have to crack open Bates. And I did start looking things over for the next week but nothing serious....still I hate that I even opened a medically related book over the holidays!!! 😡

CV physio! Me too. I'm in the ATL airport for the next 9 hours waiting on my sister's flight, and I'm trying to K.O. the first two wks of physio reading.

woah 9 hours! You poor thing. Although maybe I should head over to LaGuardia to see if it works (ah the life of med students and the pursuit of a perfect study space).
 
...have you guys started studying for your second semester classes yet?

Happy New Yearr

I studied ALOT in med school and did well, but if you're seriously asking this question, you need get a life...I feel sorry for you.
 
What is this "studying" you speak of?

Classes start up on Monday, so I am trying to cram in as many gin-n-tonics and naps as I can 🙂
