bottom of the barrel.

i've been promising myself that'd i'd write about the remainder of my Summer of Awesome since july 12.

i had such high hopes for this entry and all it's going to be is a stupid rant about how poopy life's been since i came back to philadelphia and started school.

shadowing in infectious disease during the summer was most excellent. consequently i was looking forward to micro being our first block of second year. and then we get an entire ream's-worth of bloody handouts that would cover only the material up until the midterm. the course is poorly organized, we have no competencies for our lectures, and the course notes are just random collections of loosely arranged facts. and of course we have seventeen billion people presenting the material following no consistent format. half of me wants to say screw class and just work out of a textbook but then other half gets all anxious and neurotic about passing the exams.

then it starts to get plain tragic when i start thinking about how it's only been a week and a half into second year and i already feel like i'm drowning. i'm trying to study for boards at least for a little bit each night then i feel guilty not doing micro and....blahhh.


please let rotations come soon.
