13 days remain until the next exam!

Yikes! So this is an eye-opener! I have an exam in 13 days and I still have so much to go over from all of these last lectures. I'm definitely not looking forward to this exam but I am, however, looking forward to going to Canada to see Kristen and AZ to see everyone else! It will be nice to have one part of the exam over with. We are only being given the multiple choice exam and the written portion is in May. I am really looking forward to the summer break as I will have almost 4 months off! I will finally get to enjoy some NICE weather for a change!

Speaking of weather, when I woke up this morning, there was snow all over! It has melted since this morning, but there was quite a bit. The rain melted the snow in a matter of an hour once it started though. It snowed out at the campus yesterday as well. Yesterday was a long day. We had two lectures, a differential diagnosis practical and then we had a mock history taking with an acting client. We were basically given a scenario and we then had to go up to the client as if he/she were a real client and obtain a history for the doctor that was "in an emergency". It was 3 hours long and I was so tired by the end of the practical. It was interesting though. I've taken history hundreds of times from clients at the clinic and I felt that it was very good practice for others who haven't had much experience in history taking.

I am currently working on Ophthalmology and trying to finish all of the lectures so that I can move on to Dermatology, which is another long section. Once I get through Derm, all of the other sections are relatively short, so I should be able to finish in time so that I have a week of straight review. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and I look forward to seeing you all VERY soon!
