I suppose this is what X-mas eve feels like (kinda) for most people (or at least lil' kids)...
That feeling of excitement/suspense that hangs in the air, almost tangible. However, in my case, it is slightly different... it's excitement/dread/fear and a bit of apathy mixed in for good measure.
Why?
It's pre-exam eve! And just like what I assume it's like on Xmas eve, I too will be going to sleep early, so that I'm ready for the god-forsaken exam that is coming tomorrow. On one hand, it's a bitch of a thing to study for - O+G AND Paeds - probably close to the 2 aspects of med that I dislike - lots of counseling and sick little kids (now don't get me wrong - I love little kids [not in the pedophile kinda way!] but I don't like seeing them sick!). On top of that- in O+G, everything is so similar that you forget which risk factor goes with what. With paeds, you have no fucking clue even as to figure out WHAT SYSTEM is effected let along give a DIAGNOSIS. They'll either not be feeding, not be themselves, bleed or vomit. Great! Just gotta pick right one of these million diagnoses to treat!
But hey - I've finally, in a marathon effort, finished all my DLAs for paeds, not that I know any of them that well (except that PDA presents with a mechanical/machinery murmur) and have covered a bit of O+G. Hopefully enough to pass...
Now here is my other problem with pre-exam eve - what do you do? Do you:
a) study like a madman, panic and then have difficulty sleeping?
b) eat cake/cookies/ comfort food and become obese and die before tomorrow? (preferable - no test!)
c) Be procrastational like me (yep - it's a neologism) and blog about it?
