one more sem.

second sem just started. one more sem and i'm gonna be slaving myself in the clinics--seeing more patients, extracting more histories & doing more  PEs.

this sem is even tougher than the previous one. same clinics time of 7am-11am, but almost all our classes will be till 7 pm. lots of challenges this time, with the addition of 4 new subjects (derma, rehab med, radiology, community med) on top of the previously hard subjects. worse, we now have half day saturday classes in addition to the usual five days. barely a week into 2nd sem and we'll have our first surgery quiz on monday. here i go again, staying through wee hours of morning reviewing anatomy, memorizing cancer staging, surgical indications and thinking of what would be the most probable questions for the long quiz..which are quite unpredictable.

again, i'll unwillingly submit myself to reading lots of chapters in Harrison's and in the end of the sem, get the grade i think i don't deserve. maybe i'm just too lax, or just too confident about myself that sometimes, i think that scanning my books is enough. one more sem..so much things to do in a little time.
