GOOD LUCK TOMORROW !!!!!! x a million. You rock.

I cannot take credit for this lovely poem but i hope you enjoy it anyways. :luck:

Twas the month before Step 1, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
The laptop was open, the questions studied with care,
In hopes that answers could now be found there

The cats were nestled all snug on the bed
while I reviewed flashcards; drugs-- please stay in my head!
Clover in his sweater, me in my sweats
going through USMLE World, multiple question sets.

When downstairs from a cat, arose such a clatter
I went down to investigate and see what was the matter
Nothing was there, a ghost perhaps?
or maybe I'm losing my mind after trying to remember SIGECAPS

Mneumonics, mneumonics, mneumonics and more
how many diseases can I possibly remember these mneumonics for?
Cysteine, SAM, carbamoyl -- it's all a jumble
I wish I had time to cook since my tummy is arumble

Antibiotics -- bacteria they kill
Can i remember their uses? I hope I will
Viruses, it's you I really hate
dsDNA, proteases -- oh! you really determine my step 1 fate

Now Albendazole! Now Metronidazole! Now Flucanzole and Diazepam
On, Clonidine! On, probenacid! on, on Indomethacin and Lorezepam!
Into my brain! side effects and mechanisms too!
Oh so many drugs, my mind is turning to goo.

First Aid with chapter introductions to quote
and phrases to help with memorization, rote
NBME practice tests, I only have seven more
Now I only hope I can significantly increase my score

I exclaim, as I study on, only more diseases in sight
"July 27th -- it will be all over!", and over it already, I am this night.

Ugh. What a terrible experience.

Also Pro tip for spouses of students taking big tests: buying live crickets for the lizard the night before the exam and trusting the 8 year old to properly close the cage is a double failure that should be avoided at all costs.

I think I should use my drawing skills to write a cartoon of your life.... this and the dog chasing incident would be golden....
