Proctor troubles

Im having trouble with my remote proctor once again. And the proctor troubles not only stops me from doing my quiz, it slows down my whole Mac. And.... I couldn't connect at all until I unplugged the darn thing. Ugh. Technology, eh?

So I'll do my quiz tomorrow some time.

I finally have a night off tonight. I studied for a while this afternoon, then I watched a movie - Something Borrowed - a total chick-flick. I needed a real night off from everything. Feeling better.

I feel like I haven't absorbed much from last week, which was on the pituitary gland. I guess it's lucky the diseases are fairly rare, but I think the endocrine system is highly testable on the USMLE. I will have to look at it in revision week.

So this week is adrenal, which I'm finding difficult as well. It's just all so new to me and there is a fair bit of biochemistry in it. The case study was dense and I had to just basically skim it and delve straight into the readings to make any sense of it all. So, that is what I'll be spending tomorrow doing for sure. More adrenal.

I ordered a Doctors in Training lecture on Endocrine from their new Internal Medicince course, but the streaming stuffed up. I think my Internet connection is a little slow ATM and I don't know why. I hope to get to watch it tomorrow some time and maybe the adrenal one too, and the associated pharm lectures. I'm missing the appropriate Kaplan lectures for these two weeks, so DIT it is.... I'm so glad I can purchase some of the lectures individually.

That's about it. Worked a lot at night this week which is good for money but bad for study time.

Such is life.
