The Exam

I never posted about the first pathophysiology exam and so because I got my grade back today, I think it's time. The test was last Friday. I felt that given the amount of time I had in the early morning and late at night that I studied as much as I could have to prepare for this beast of an exam (I signed up to work too many shifts at the hospital and now realize my mistake) Anyway, I thought the test was fair. There was a mix of difficult and easy questions. Unfortunately, I glossed over the "easy" material while studying and focused on the more complex material. I was pretty bummed about getting stuck on the easy questions and thought, "I should have spent some time on this, but I can't believe it's on the test." I ended up with a B and am ok with that for now. I have to be, the test is over.
So, after the exam ended, we had a generous 10 minute break and spend the next five hours listening to the first cardiac lecture of the semester. Again, I'm amazed by the complexity of the human body and feeling overwhelmed by the amount of material I have to shove into my brain before the next exam in three weeks.
