2nd round of tests happened last week. Out of my three classes, I had one paper and two tests to take.
I felt stressed for about two weeks straight. The paper was a group paper which can go either great or really bad, depending on your partner. My partner is a smart girl so I didn’t think any problems would come up. Also, we are all in graduate school now, so I would think undergraduate excuses have been exhausted at this point. My partner and I had planned to meet one weekend afternoon and discuss our research on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPAC) and it’s affect on US Health Care costs and expenditures. Long story short, my partner ended up in the hospital and could not meet with me to write the paper. No biggie. I just had her send the articles she found for the paper and I would write the paper. After a few days, I had a decent 7 page paper.
One of my tests I was really worried about because I didn’t feel as comfortable with the material as I did with the first test. There were a few multiple choice questions that I did not know. I guessed and turns out, I guessed right on all of them. I received an A on the test, but I feel like I dodged a bullet. My grade could have been worse, so I am trying to learn from those weeks and study more efficiently now on.
I don’t know what my last test score is because the professor was in Baltimore last week for a public health conference.
I plan on moving this blog to a broader name instead of a focused, themed blog. I don’t feel comfortable discussing about topics outside of my goals to get into medical school in this blog. I have not dropped my goal to get into medical school, but rather have writings that reflect more of my broaden medicine experience. I’ll work on it in December.
