Let the craziness begin! I began my second year of medical school on Monday, and boy has it been intense. We are starting with the cardiovascular sequence and they are definitely not easing us in this year. I was in class from 7am-5pm on Monday, 8am-4pm yesterday, and 8am-3:30pm today. Tomorrow is another 8am-4pm day, so needless to say I am pretty exhausted. There is a lot of information to learn and its going really fast. A few lectures have been easy to follow, but there are definitely a few that will require some intense re-studying because they were pretty confusing. I will be so happy when this sequence is over and we have less in class time!
Besides class I have caught up with my classmates during lunch and between lectures and spent some time with my sister at home. I also got the privilege of signing up for my required male GU physical exam session where we all get to learn the ever so exciting prostate exam. Not looking forward to that next month at all. I foresee a severe lack of social life for the next two and a half weeks. This is intense stuff! For now I'm just trying not to get too far behind (I'm already behind, it's impossible not to be with this schedule) so I can enjoy all of the things planned for this weekend! I have a pool party with my FCE group on Saturday that we've had planned since last April or May, and the Stanford new freshman send-off/alumni BBQ at Gallup Park on Sunday. Should be fun, and will be even more fun if I can get my act together and quiz early! Back to studying a bit before bed. Not getting a lot of sleep tonight either it looks like.
