If I take one set of boards on June 14 and the next set of boards on June 22nd, I have enough time to study, right? RIGHT? Like, if I've already started studying, and doing questions and such...right? RIGHT?
OMG. I will not panic.
*panics*
Hope my head cold feels better this afternoon so I can go on a short jog or something. I'm in need of endorphins.

'ello again
Long time, no post. I'm sorry.
Ok, I'm not really sorry. I'm stressed. Very stressed. Second year courses are drawing to a close (yay!), but before they do, I have two exams to take; one tomorrow and one next Monday. Then, my school, like many other schools out there, does another course that is meant to transition us all from our pre-clinical years wherein we sat on our asses for like 8+ hours a day to working as a member of a medical team in a hospital. Oh, did I mention that we get to take this course while studying for boards?
I'm taking two boards, USMLE and COMLEX. This is basically because I am uncertain about what I want to do, and think that I should hedge my bets. Some programs are totally down w/ COMLEX scores, others are a little confused by them. I'll save them the time spent being confused by giving them something that they understand.
Hopefully.
Husband and I got some awesome shoes. The goal is to strengthen our foot/lower leg muscles. They're fun, if nothing else.
Question: is biochem relevant in practice? I don't mean like acid/base stuff; that's clearly relevant, as is blood glucose and metabolism. But when will I ever need to know how many ATP are generated by a specific pathway? That seems a wee bit excessive to me. Not that I hate biochem. I actually really like it...
