I wake at 6:45, English muffin, coffee, school. We start relatively on time today and learn about hearing loss and ear infections. Give some stern feedback and constructive criticism at the feedback session for the rotation and head off to the next class at the other hospital.
We learn about plastic surgery: skin grafts, flaps. I head home to eat lunch and head back the original hospital only to find out that I read the schedule wrong and that I have to head back to the other hospital. Luckily, I still arrived on time. We learn about head injuries.
Head back (for the third time today) to the first hospital and get a lecture on neck masses.
I head home to study. I get all set up, books and notes everywhere and I whip out the question book I printed only to find out that my copy is missing half the pages. I go back to the copy store and they offer to give me a complete one tomorrow, no charge. I really wanted to study those practice questions, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow; at least I don't have to dish out the $18 again
I get home, again, and I settle back down (FINALLY) to study everything from hernias, to breast masses, to urinary retention, to transplant surgery. I have no idea what to really really focus on, but considering everyone is in the same boat and reflecting those feelings back in conversation or on MSN, I feel a little relieved. We have objectives, but there's 70 questions and they aren't distributed evenly through the subjects.
The clock strikes 10:30 and I head to bed to get a good night sleep before the dreaded last day of studying.
