....is like nailing jello to a tree
I dont have a real clever comment to " insert here" but I can say that Im having the time of my life. Yeah Im busier than Ive ever been but I cant get enough of it. I have a good routine down and I get through material just fine and have some time on the side. All in all, I feel like I have found my niche. By the way, if some of the regulars may recall, I HATED undergrad.

I remember vividly saying, "I can't wait until Anatomy is over" about 6 or 8 weeks into it. Two weeks after it was over....I was crying nightly and wishing that Anatomy would return. The second semester I was praying that first year would be over soon. The second year I was hoping to go back again. It just got worse and worse......until third year. These days I'm doing really cool stuff like pulling a newborn's slimy head out of a vagina while trying not to drop it and suturing the episiotomy. Never thought I'd like OB, but here I am on my fourth rotation and there's nothing so far that I haven't totally loved so far.
You may very well have times in the next couple of years when you wonder whether or not you made the right decision in trying out this whole "med school thing." But, it's worth it. Just don't give up because it's really worth it in the end. You really do have some fun times around the corner
If you don't mind posting your study schedule and how you go over the mass amounts of material with the best return. I'd sure like to hear some other ideas. My ideas haven't worked like I had hoped they would. Thanks
It's greuling but its interesting, its stimulating and its worth the hard work.
It's like coming from texas, and not being a steer or a queer...
(FMJ for you folks who don't get it)
...a casual walk through Farmer's Market on a warm, breezy day, next to the River Front. Seriously, I think the first two weeks of medical school are actually very easy compared to what you have ahead of you. Every account I've heard is that it tends to get worse before it gets better. It goes in phases, too. I mean, school seems grueling and tough during your first year, but in the middle of 2nd year, you feel on top of your game with respect to studying, then you fall back to the bottom when you start your rotations during 3rd year. When you begin your 4th year rotations, you are happily on top of your game again, only to be kicked back down again when you begin your internship. You get the point.
Stick with it. Good luck!
The folks that don't get that probably won't get what "FMJ" is either.
I've done it. It hurts until you figure it out, and then it still stings. Be careful what the pumper (the fire truck) is hooked up to: hydrant water isn't always safe to drink.
I suppose you could always bribe the guy on the pump panel to dump the pressure and then use a large diameter hose line so it's just a dribble, but that wouldn't be any fun. Far more interesting to use a 1 1/2" hose with high pressure and open the nozzle up full. BTW: also not any advantage to using a fan spray pattern vs. a tight spray pattern.
