The blog itself got a wee face lift as well. Just a little spring cleaning!

Today was makeover day here at Synaptic Reorganization! I have added a Tumblr page so that I can add miscellaneous content and photos without disrupting the flow of med school-related news. On the side of the page is a handy Tumblr feed (thanks to Jeremiah!), or you can subscribe to the Tumblr feed by a separate means. Or you can go on ignoring me....

After nearly 3 years of neuroscience research and a few publications to show for myself, you'd think I'd be down with this neurology course. You'd be thinking WRONG! I feel like I am fumbling through this material with beer goggles on (hello, chorea!).
On the bright side, I have planned my summer vacation and just purchased a swimsuit and 2 new books for the break. It may be 2 months away, but it's all I've got to look forward to, people.
Summer goes like this:
Otis, MA: 6/25-7/1
PDX, OR: 7/1-7/23
With a reading list of Bossypants and This Won't Hurt a Bit (and other white lies): My Education in Medicine and Motherhood by one of my favorite bloggers!

Time sure does fly. Women's health ends on Friday and then we only have Neuro and Musculoskeletal before "Crunch Month" begins. The month in which I crawl into my study cave and emerge a month later as a butterfly...or hopefully something resembling a human being, at which point I will take my Board exam and get on with my life.
Today I met with Dr. Costanzo to go over my study plan. Although it was silly of me to have any doubts, most of my fears were calmed and she definitely left me with a sense of I-can-do-this-ness.
Here is roughly what life will look like for 33 days:
8 hours of studying, 3 hours to exercise, eat and relax, 3 hours of practice questions, bedtime. Lather, rinse and repeat.
In other news, this was a big week in my medical training! Yesterday I completed workshops on rectal, pelvic and male genital exams. Though I am far from proficient, hopefully when it comes time to do these exams next year I will at least give patients the impression that I know what I'm doing!
