Man it gets so much better once you get past 2nd year. I mean 3rd year has it sucky parts so far, but its far better than the hazing of 2nd year. I look forward to seeing u around campus.

I love the job but not the studying part. I haven't consider dropping out seriously but it sometimes gets pretty hard to get motivated to hit the books. Well, per aspera ad astra, no? Wish us akk good luck with our studies :) I accidentally came across your blog and being a bit confused med student too I found myself in this post.

I didn't realize that you had a twitter, so I've just been waiting for a blog post to pop up in my google reader. Anyhow, I think the leave of absence was a wise decision. It allowed you some time without jeopardizing your chance at graduating. I know how hard those first 2 years can be... but believe me as hard as 3rd and 4th year are, it gets better. I'm sure you have had extensive discussion about this with these deans, but the learning beyond 2nd year is so different. It's much more practical and hands on learning. When you go and read, it's usually because you saw a patient with a certain ailment and want to learn more about that disease, or the diagnostic workup or the treatment. It makes studying much more interesting and useful. Good luck this September and I look forward to more posts from you! It helps keep me grounded... I don't want to forget what it was like to be a med student. Welcome back! I didn’t realize that you had a twitter, so I’ve just been waiting for a blog post to pop up in my google reader.
