I'm seriously bordering on insanity. For starters, watching Se7en for the first time last night was not such a good idea.
 
Third block burnout. It is a bad, bad thing. Make it stop.
 
At least I'm feeling better today than I did yesterday...

It's not even like this is third block. This is still second block, in one solid mass, extending all the way until Christmas.

I figure it's third block because we're coming up on the third path and micro exams. The status of all the fuzzy-butted classes is irrelevant.

This month is going to suck so hard.....I mean, seriously, cumulative exams in psych, CER and ethics? IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?? I feel like the fluff classes are overtaking the main curriculum.
 
At least the Ethics exam shouldn't be so awful, and neither should the Psych.
CER...at least it's stuff I'll need to know some day.

Your glass is half full innit?

Ok Psych -- yeah, hate psych. Psych = evil.
Ethics, you've got no idea what kinda crap they're going to test.
CER... LOL! At least that test has a nice curve.

Psych should take about an afternoon of my time, but it would be nice to honor it, but that's really not what I'm too concerned about. I'm kinda scared of what might be on the ethics exam, and I know I should know CER material, but that doesn't mean I do yet. Either way, they're just like mini-hurdles when I'm trying to focus on the big ones.

I can't even find the darn glass. Actually, I'm a very gifted pessimist. I could win the lottery and manage to make myself depressed about it if I didn't watch myself. That's a lousy way to live, so over the years I've learned to find a bright side even if there really isn't one. You can spin anything if you shove hard enough.

(gasp)

I thought you were the Comb Fairy. You know, he wears a bag and horns on his head and comes and combs your hair at night when you're sleeping to prevent split ends!

You mean you're really some freaky serial killer?

are you saying I can't be both?

No. The Comb Fairy uses his power only for good.

Or my personal convenience.

There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing.

Does it make you feel any better to know that your creepy confession has made me sad and perhaps a bit squicky? I would hate for my suffering to be for naught. Like yours is.

should I quote something from Yellow Submarine to make you feel better?

No. You should lie to me and tell me the Micro virology exam won't be that hard.
At least then I could have a good laugh.
 
Virology hurts my little princess brain.

But it still beats workin' for a living.

Probably.

I'll sure be peeved if I go through all this and then I hate being a doctor.

If I could landscape for four years and come out as a doctor, I'd definitely be tempted to do that instead. For the most part, I don't mind working, so I'm really hoping I like being a doctor.....

That's really the beautiful thing about medicine. The prospects are so broad, that it's likely you will find some specialty that you will like.

This book is a great read, and I wish someone had pointed it out to me during the basic science years.

jeepers, at 30 dollars for that book, I'd sooner just take a gamble on something that seemed fun during the one month I was minimally exposed to it, then dedicate another 3-7 years of misery being poorly paid and overworked for it, only to find the malpractice is too high and that I'm required to spend 100+hours at work a week and so I never see my family and my children become prostitutes and drug addicts or worse yet fans of hip-hop music leaving me bitter and alone and hateful of my own family and my patients until I slip into a deeper and deeper depression and become without emotion and feeling until i go on a psychotic binge of blood and killing until I ultimately steal a school bus and plummet myself into the ocean with it. 30 bucks...cripes.

Wanna split it? 😉

Thanks for cheering me up, guys. I'm mostly just tired and cranky. I saw a sleep specialist and there's a good chance I'll be sleeping through the night by January, and just about no chance I'll be doing so before three or four weeks from now. I just want to sleep 8 hours in one night with no interruptions longer than 30 minutes. That would SO ROCK.

Go ahead, cheer me up some more! I dare you! 🙂

Ambien?
 
This **** is getting ridiculous. Waaaaay too long of a studying binge. We had a slight reprieve on Nov 1/2, but it's more or less been near full throttle for me since the first week of October, and the end doesn't come until December 20th, and it gets worse before it gets better. The stress is really getting to me, and as I just found out, apparently it's getting to my wife and in-laws too. I'll have plenty to say on my evaluations about not going so close to Christmas because we practically started in September, and using better spacing on the exam schedule.

yeah, for f's sake. I'm tired of studying. Hope the virology exam is easy.

Spending all weekend studying for psych? Then, spending all week catching up in path and then studying for the micro final in 2 weeks?

On Saturday, I'm going to try to do a quick review of CER, and maybe type up a study guide for that, so I can review it a little at a time, because there's no way that a Monday afternoon review of CER will be anywhere near enough for a cumulative exam. Likewise, I'm probably going to try to do an hour a day of block 1 and 2 micro, and then yeah, catch up in path.

I remember when I was tired of studying in block 2 last fall :laugh:

hahahahahaha. My body chemistry LAUGHS at Ambien. Actually, I haven't tried the CR yet, which might work. But the sleep specialist wants me to do three weeks of Melatonin, and if that doesn't work, three weeks of Rozerem, and if that doesn't work, THEN the Ambien CR (we're trying to avoid that morning hangover), oh, and see a sleep psychologist, although he thinks my sleep hygiene is already pretty good. With any luck, I'll be sleeping by the new year.
