The First Test!

So today was the first medical school test in Developmental Anatomy. A little background: it was 100 questions and covered 6 lectures, yes, I said only 6 lectures. I would have to say it was a pretty fair test though. The questions definitely progressively got harder, but maybe my brain cells got weaker as I progressed thus making it more difficult?!?!

The teacher posted the answers outside his office, and most smart people (not including myself) had the time to write down their answers so they could figure out what they made. I will just have to wait until the wonderful computer department posts it online. I think I did okay though...I am at least confident that they cannot throw me out after this test, which is a good thing.

What is different about med school as opposed to any other type of school (maybe not law) after a test is that you still have to learn a lot of information after taking a test. For example, we had a long and strenuous biochem lecture right after the test, and to say that i could not focus, would be a stretch. I don't even think I understood any scientific words during that time. Then to further compound my insult to injury, anatomy lab covered the nerves and muscles of the hand. Now those of you that don't know, the hand has WAY TOO MANY muscles and nerves and other stupid things that we have to remember. It was insane. So basically, I am now back at step 1. I have a biochem test on thursday which i must incessantly study for (don't know if that's the right usage of the word incessantly, but english is not my first language), and we have a gross test coming to.

so the studying continues....as does school.....and lack of enjoyment and no ARSENAL, at least not in the near future

Fabulous use of vocabulary. "Incessantly" is used correctly. I'm glad you think you did okay on the test. I'm sure you did.
