hide and seek

So, it was back to school today. It was a bit easier than I had thought after two weeks of the sedentary lifestyle. Six hours of classes came and went, we made more headway on drafting the Honor Code, and I managed to pretty much plan out my schedule for this month. That was until I found out that we would be having our 4-hour COMLEX I diagnostic tomorrow afternoon. That's right. Its the "find out how much studying you need to do between now and May" exam. Even though I know it doesn't count for anything, it makes the thought of taking Boards much more real.

Along with Board diagnostic exams comes Board Review weekends. These entail about eighteen hours of lectures on one subject over the course of 72 consecutive hours. This pretty much shakes out to four hours on Friday, and seven hours on Saturday and Sunday. Now that's a riveting time to be sure. So Day 1 of classes in the New Year has pretty much come out even with some setbacks and high points, including the broadcast of the new season of Scrubs and Rose making a huge pan of spinach lasagna.
