Study Day

I wanted to catalogue my day of study for Monday's exam, but I forgot to bring my power cable so my computer's not going to hold out for more than a couple hours at the most.

But here I am, in my little study room in the 24-hour study area on the med school campus;



Isn't the lighting classic? Such an uplifting atmosphere. Okay I have to get to work now. I just got here. It's 11:00.

1:04: This is some really, really boring stuff. Because it's kind of review (meaning I've had this stuff in other classes, but can't remember the details). So I don't really feel like I'm learning anything new, I'm just trying to memorize the different enzymes that allow different processes to take place in the cell. Ugh. I enjoy the cancer genetics stuff, because that's mostly new to me. But the stuff I spent the past two hours doing... blech.

I brought a mountain of pocket change so I could eat out of the vending machine. But I've told myself I have to wait until I've done at least 4 hours of work. I don't know if I'll be able to stick to that.

Along with forgetting to bring my power cord, I forgot to bring blank notecards. So I only have about a dozen cards. How am I supposed to memorize enzymes without flashcards? This is a disaster.

7:00: I studied for five hours. I got a 93 on a practice test. I came home.
