"It's just one point."

The point of coming to the Daly center was to be more productive. Too bad I have my computer in front of me. Well, at least I can kind of be productive and work towards my goal of writing more. I've hit a temporary roadblock in my studying at the moment, so I won't try to hurt myself by powering through it. That's kind of my goal in med school now... to just try not to hurt myself.

We finished up the second half of our Concepts of Health and Disease (CHD) exam today. It's a team-based learning course, so we did our exam in groups of seven. It's nice to only have to do 1/7 of the total thinking because I don't think I can muster much more out of my brain at this point. Yeah, I know, 1/8 through med school and going strong. At this rate, I'll be using 1/56 of my original brainpower by the time I graduate.

The nice thing about our CHD class is that it's pass/fail, and the questions on our exam all had point values assigned. Our team motto became "It's just one point." I mean, we could answer all the questions, but they also demanded complete rationales. You get to a certain point where you're all rationaled out, and that one point doesn't seem so important in the grand scheme of things. Don't worry, though, we answered all the questions completely, only because we're med students and don't know when to quit.

I've got 2 quizzes on Thursday and 4 exams the next couple of weeks. This is going to be awesome. I feel more on top of the material than I did before our first round of exams, but at the same time, I also feel like I'm a lot farther behind than before. I'm not quite sure how to summarize what I'm feeling right now. Maybe... impending doom?
