This pace is starting to catch up to me. Every time I finally get one lesson down we get presented two more. For instance today we finished wrapping up the renal system (with a kick ass cadaver lab I might add) and then went straight into renal pharmacology before switching gears and going into gas exchange which is going to be tested next week with mechanics of ventilation which we learned a couple days ago. Problem is I'm just now getting done learning about the damn kidney!
The hardest part of all for me has actually been staying awake. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we have PT at 0545 in the morning. Since I live a ways away that usually means my ass is up at 0515. The big problem there is I don't usually get home until around 5-6 most nights. By the time I eat, do laundry, call family, etc... it's 8-9 pm and I still have to study. So by the time I get to sleep it's around 10:30 or later.
However all is not lost, with the glorious aid of Red Bull I am usually coherent enough to scribble down somewhat decent notes and keep the light switch in my brain on long enough to absorb at least some of the material we are going over. And all is not lost, because we are already down to three months until we get to clinicals and it should all start coming together by that point.
So I'm sorry my posts haven't been more frequent, but if I'm not doing something school related, my ass is probably sleeping!
