busy busy
Feels like a long time since I’ve written something. It’s been a busy weekend. I have 3 manuscripts on my desk, two of which need urgent attention for upcoming journal submission deadlines. I had a friend’s grant application to read through. And, of yes, I’m studying for my medical licensing exam, USMLE Step II CK.
To make matters worse, I cut a chunk of tissue out of my finger tip last night when I ripped the top off of a beer bottle and didn’t notice until it was too late. I’m not even sure how it happened but I think I threw the bottle opener under the lip of the bottle rather than under the cap. WHAT? It was a little dark and I wasn’t in the mood to look. Anyway, it’s making typing an awful chore since I am trying to avoid smashing the open would on my keyboard.
So back to studying, so far I’m getting crushed on the practice questions I’m doing on USMLEworld, which does not bode well for my confidence. But I’m working on it. Spent a solid 6 hours doing practice problems today. Maybe more tomorrow.
Off to bed now with plans of a more informative post for you all tomorrow or the day after.

Just a curiosity from a fellow MudPhudder (G1): how did the clinical transition go when you started up year 3 again? I felt like it was kinda a mindf*ck to go from big picture back down to nanoscale detail, I’m dreading going through the reverse. Was it really bad competing against kids who just went through Boards studying? Did you have to do a mock Boards-studying to get back up to speed?
