  Pre-entry is complete. I feel SO much more ready for school now. I’m kind of in awe that such a program was available to me, and that the past five weeks went by so quickly. The gears in my head are now turning. Props to Rachel and to my tank group [...]

  In lieu of studying

  The last week of the pre-entry program is upon us, including four exams. One - at least I - might have thought this weekend would be one of studying, with the occasional break for consumption or sleep.
  While there certainly was studying, there was also fun. The whole week was rather extracurricular heavy, even [...]

  Yawning while typing

  So I’m still finding my stride, to include prioritizing my limited computer time. I’m keeping up with reading all the blogs I read, and not so much updating my own.
  We had a good visit the past several days with Joel’s Mom and sisters. My Mom is in Wisconsin with my Dad at a [...]

  A week with no posts?! What a slacker!
  This program is no joke. I’m loving it. I mean it’s crazy hard and I’m sure it’s only going to get crazier in the semester proper, but what an experience. My classmates get more interesting every day (in a good way), and slowly but [...]

  Right now

  Right this second I do not care about figuring out what my particular study style is. News flash: I am in this program in large part because I did worse in science classes and on the MCAT than my peers, which is because I do not know how to study.
  Can’t someone just tell me [...]

  Intermission

  This is a brief study break to say a couple of things:
  1. My school is Apple unfriendly. Joel put Vista on my MacBook so I can dual boot. The result is the unshakeable feeling that my machine has been violated. I’m even using IE to write this post. Yeeugh.
  2. [...]

  So far so good! We had our first set of lectures today - biochemistry - and a brief talk about coping with the medical curriculum. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity of this program. I am a wee bit rusty, and this is just the jump start I need. [...]

  Welp, here we go!

  Tomorrow the pre-entry program begins! My Mom arrived this afternoon, the house is unpacked with mostly everything in its place, and I think I have the details worked out to get to school in the morning.
  I would say that I hope I’m doing the right thing, but I am more confident than that. [...]

  Another long rambling one…

  Zoe is still a little on the sick side. Snotting continues, and she fights her decongestant as if it were hemlock, causing most surfaces to be crusted with the stuff (both snot and medicine). Her fuss to play ratio is roughly 80/20. My remaining handful of nerves are shot - ask Joel [...]

  Welcome Weekend

  We all survived the weekend separation! Zoe had such a great time with her grandparents and aunts that she didn’t seem too happy to see us when we picked her up last night. She cried when we took her home. I was expecting a warmer reception, but such is life; I would [...]
