I must be nuts. I swear I'm beginning to dream about equilibrium equations, ion countercurrent exchanges, and hormone interactions. It's a good thing that I only have a couple of months left or I would definitely be certifiable."Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berzerk?
Well, you left me anyhow and the days got worse and worse and now you see I've gone completely out of my mind.
And They're coming to take me away H...

I am beginning to think that "old people" (meaning anyone over the age of 40) are considered to be less than capable by the med school community.

Sometimes I get so discouraged that I just want to give it up--especially on the VR portion. I can take a timed sample test of 10 questions or so and I end up with 50-60% score. What is the deal with this? I am much brighter than this. Practice, practice, practice--if at first you don't succeed.... I hope that one day it will all just "click" and I'm getting a handle on this.I'm doing OK on the biology part, though (I should hope so!)
Today I'm going to work on physics ...
