I just need to take a moment to SCREAM…

Sometimes in my less mature, less Christian moments, I feel like the most unlucky individual. I mean I won the genetic lottery for weird and rare diseases. Last week I won the class lottery and got put in the first group for our clinical reasoning exam/project. The first portion of the exam was a 2 hour time portion where we had to make a list of symptoms and hypotheses and then put down what tests we wanted to run and WHY. Well my friends since 2nd grade when we started writing longer than sentence I have had extra time for written exams. HOWEVER, I seemed to have forgotten this fact in light of the fact I have not had any written exams in med school. I thought it though about 15 minutes before the deadline when I had to leave off two symptoms in order to write down tests before the deadline. I turned it in incomplete with 2 seconds to spare.

I am so frustrated. I had it right too. I was on the right track and now on the second part I have the diagnosis which was very, very,very tricky. I can’t write about it till after Friday because it has not been released to all of my classmates. But that first form is half my grade and could still fail me.

all I had to do was march in Student Services and ask for 30 extra minutes. Where was my problem solving super power, where was my head….

SCREAM.

done now back to it.
