I finally started memorizing the notes I made in the previous week. I was initially angry at the direction I had gone, but going over some of the concepts today, I was surprised at how much I still remember. Nonetheless, there's one overarching reality of med school, and that is:
In order to succeed, you need to understand a concept, make notes, and spent time memorizing them. In medical school, you only have time to do two of the three.
I don't know if its the nap I took midday, or the coffee that proceeded it, but I've been wired and in the flow since 4pm. just going to take a short nap and go for another 2 hours. I've also decided that instead of doing giant concept maps that connect everything, I would be much better off just keeping them small. It makes the number of files harder to handle (I already have 20 different files, one for each system) and its only been one week. Fortunately, its a short week, with friday being a research day.
Nap time! oh and dinner I suppose. yeah. food would be good.
