studying my Friday night away...

Yes... I should be studying, but instead I am making an excuse by updating the blog. Before I started PA school, I would read other blogs of PA students doing this exact thing and thought to myself "I would never do that, studying will always come first"... boy was I off! It really takes a lot of dedication and stamina to keep up with all the hard work of PA school... Of course it will be rewarding in the end, however now, i'm just trying to muscle my way through it. 

One of our professors this morning mentioned a disease or some physiology we learned during the summer semester... and I was really scared to discover that I didn't remember it at all! 

There is so much information!! 

I keep hearing... trust the system, just get through it, you'll be surprised at how much you remember when you're out on rotations. And while I can recall a lot of info... its going to take a lot more exposure to get it stuck in my brain... everything is just flying by so quickly. I am loving the school process, yet every once in a while I have moments of frustration wondering if i'm really going to remember all of this stuff.

Ah the joys of PA school... surviving learning one disease at a time.

By the way, for this module "Hematology/Oncology" I feel like I have about 1000 new terms and acronyms to learn just to understand what is being discussed... but one day at a time...

back to the books...
