4th Year Beginnings

Whelp, I finished the last semester of my 3rd year. Not all the course grades are uploaded (last exam was April 29th) but I didn’t fail anything, so onward to 4th year. I should be packing for my externship out in the country (the one I posted about before, stressing about my ranking, and being so thankful and relieved that I got the slot)...but that’s not happening for many months still because of the shut down. Hopefully, I still get to go. (This got long.)

TL;DR I’m now a 4th year and doing summer “clinic” on-line and I’m still sad about things.

As of now, we will be doing 12 weeks of summer classes on-line. 3 rotations of 4 weeks with different instructors. I wouldn’t have any exposure to some of these specialties without this summer so I guess I could look on the bright side, but I’m still moping about my summer externship delay. 

I took a few days off after finals (4 days) to watch a bunch of disney movies and build some gates and crochet. I have one week before class starts and I was semi-tricked into doing my Grand Rounds presentation/paper the first week of student presentation.

With a week left to my own devices, I’ve started writing a rough outline for my paper/presentation so I know what holes need to be filled. Then, I’ll bounce back to studying for Boards Part 1. I’m pretty sure I already posted about my devastation that it was cancelled 2 days before my exam date. I haven’t gone back to it for a number of reasons. Classes were ever shifting, administration was being...shifty, and course exams were getting closer. Plus, I was just really sad and it’s very hard to study for an exam when you don’t even know when you can take it. We still haven’t had any updates on when the scheduler will be reopened and what dates will be available for us to take the exam. All of US and Canada were cancelled, that’s a lot of exams. But it has been too long and I need to get back to it. 

Thankfully, all my half-days of “clinic” will be in the morning, so I won’t have the chance to flip my sleep schedule and become the nocturnal goth my soul yearns to be. (Just in the last 4 days, it’s started to creep into being unhealthy, hopefully studying will keep me on track.)

Yes, of course it’s a very big country where many different curricula are used, and of course it doesn’t cover special-needs kids, and of course a million other reasons why it won’t work.

Now go make it work.
