2 more weeks til my last exams start, and 5 more weeks of study until I'm done with my formal medical education. On Friday, I had my last lecture of 24 years of schooling. You would think we'd be a bit nostalgic about it, but no...all of us are just ready to get out. Our class has seen some rough times and it's only going to get rougher with this politics nonsense regarding jobs. I hope to god I get an intern job...otherwise I will be very very depressed and basically have no clue what to do.
Anyway, what's happened since the last blog... I took Step 2 CK, and while I didn't think I did brilliantly, I thought it was ok. I was a little unhappy that I wasn't completely confident in flying it, but c'est la vie...that rarely happens with these kinds of 8 hour exams. I could always narrow it down to 2 answers and then was trying to choose between them. Hopefully I chose right! Not as difficult as Step 1, but given limited time to study for it, think I may have been able to do better. A few of my classmates are taking it in May, and that gives them more time...but I'm happy to have it out of the way and not doing them after finals. I honestly don't think at this point in time that I would do better now than I would have 4 weeks ago.
A big plus for me was that my girls won their novice colours race :). That was brilliant, and they stuck to the race plan exactly, and they rowed better than I thought they would. That was fantastic. And nice validation for myself and Anthony that we are doing something right in the coaching area, as the coach we were up against has been coaching for awhile. Everyone had a good night out but I wasn't drinking and left early. Ironically, I was hammered later in the week when we had Commons dinner for final meds. The malaysians weren't drinking so we took all their guinnesses and wine, then went to the Pav and Gingerman afterwards...all of us were fairly smashed after like 2 pints. hhehe.
So two weeks til the finals. They always say things will come together and consolidate. Maybe it's happening a little...but I'm still waiting to feel solidified!
