I am so worn out right now. I am finished with 3 of 5 finals and all I want to do right now is take a nap, even though I woke up like two hours ago. Studying for the path final was very grueling. I woke up yesterday before the test and I felt like someone poured glue into all my joints and replaced my brain with cotton candy. I think half of what makes medical school so hard at times is just the fact that in order to study so much, you have to be stationary–a lump in a chair for hours at a time. Being sedentary for so long is not good for the body or the mind. So studying for path was tough because I sat in a chair for 12 hours straight for two days in a row trying to squeeze every last bit of information into my brain that I could. The truth of the matter is, though, that there is so much info there that there’s no way that just two days of cramming before a final can help if you don’t already know the information fairly well.
My next final is behavioral science, which is tomorrow. Then just one more after that. Then… I’m gonna try and take a week off before starting on STEP 1 preparation.

good luck with your tests! and step 1, alas, not so much fond memories of that one…ha. step 2 is proving itself to be a bit more fun to study for, just in that it’s more clinical and i don’t fall asleep as much when doing the practice questions…
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you do very very well.
