I have exams next week (eek!). Histology/Embryology on Tuesday and Anatomy on Wednesday. I always find it so hard to balance my time leading up to exams. Not only do I have to find time for eating, sleeping and seeing hubby; I also have to decide how much time to spend on each subject.
I really need to study anatomy more, but don't want to blow off histology. I need to pass both classes, obiously, and got a 90% on the first Histology exam so am in no real danger of failing (while Anatomy continues to kick my but and I need at least a 73 on each of the next exams to pass). Now I realize 73 might not seem so bad but let me tell you, medical school anatomy is HARD!!
I have tried making schedules to study by but certain (read: MOST) sections end up taking me longer than the "alloted" time and I get so frustrated. Luckily, my migraines have been holding off these last few days so I have needed less time carved out for sleep than usual. I am trying to just get through each section and take the time I need but I am so afraid of running out of time to study that it stresses me out.
So much to do, so much to memorize and literally not enough time to do it. Now it is just about going on and learning as much as possible. (and hoping that "much as possible" is what is on the exam!)
By the end of medical school I should be excellent at balancing/managing my time. Good practice for having kids maybe?
