2 more weeks til Step 2 CK! AAAAAAAGH! At least it's slightly easier than Step 1, but still...AAAAAAGH!! I think I've planned my study a bit better than Step 1 though, so that's good. but there's always something to not know. I'm pretty much skipping the next 2 weeks of hospital to study for this exam, and a bit worried that that's going to bite me in the butt. I'll just have to work really hard to make up what I've missed and go see some patients! But I really want to nail step 2 cuz I recently received a couple fantastic recommendation letters from attendings at my last rotation which should carry me a good way during interviews as they come from a prominent hospital. That's always a confidence booster ;). But now I need the rest of my application to be solid, as I already have a blip in it from step 1. Sometimes I think I should have waited til May to take Step 2, but seriously...I do not want to take another exam after my finals!

Other than that, have mainly just been coaching. I'm really annoyed at the fact that I'm missing all the rowing parties (yargh!) but just have to have a willpower of steel to get through the end of med school. The girls have had a couple of races and I think they're starting to understand how to move together. If we can just find a way to solidify it (and quickly), regatta season should be a blast !

There've been a couple med parties - one was after the end of the biosoc inaugural and I stayed later than I should have, but it was a lot of fun. One of my Irish friends was really cute and telling me how much she'd miss me and kept hugging & kissing my cheeks. We were really starting to look gay, but ah well. And for med ball ...that was just messy. Another of my friends was hammered, puked on the carpet and left quite early cuz he was so drunk. I called him the next day and he wasn't hungover one bit, the bastard!

Anyway, speaking of drink, I want one. So I better stop before the temptation becomes too great and I end up drinking by myself at 4 pm.
