today it just dawned upon me that we are technically supposed to know ~50% of what doctors should know since we are already halfway through our course, though we know that what we have studied so far is only the tip of the iceberg. we have SO MUCH MORE to learn in the future. scary. but i look forward to clinicals because that's when we actually get to make sense out of all the crazy stuff we're saturating our brains with right now.
mich was pointing out how cool it is that we now actually know all the 206 bones in the body. but then if you think about it there are 33 vertebrae; the 12 ribs x 2; the sternum; the bones of the skull, some paired; the 3 ossicles; the hyoid; and bones of the lower & upper limbs all crammed up in dr nilesh's TWO notes... so actually it's not that impressive, really.
but it's good to take pride in little things like this. at least you get through the day knowing your memory isn't quite failing you... yet. haha.
you know what, i'm beginning to love my current daily grind of being a nerd. am i crazy to say that i actually ENJOY preparing for EoS 5? i don't know, maybe it's cos my routine is about the same each day that everything i do is somewhat automatic (no need to plan or think about what to do), or maybe it's because we are less than 5 weeks away from bidding farewell to each other that i'm appreciating the times with my friends, which, unfortunately, are spent in the library, nerd-ing. whatever the reason, i'm glad i *seldom* feel depressed and am not on the verge of giving up.
for those who have absolutely no idea, this has been my schedule for the past few weeks (though i wish i had started this wayyyyyyyyyyy earlier):
wake up
wash up
eat bread
drink coffee

dinner

surf net

okay doesn't look that fun after all. but i feel at peace. SO BE HAPPY FOR ME!
