A few extra hours...

Please can I have a few extra hours each day? Or alternatively a few extra days in this week? My main problem at the moment is that I don't think my revision is possible. I feel less stressed about these exams than I did about the ones in the summer, but I think its because then I knew that if I worked really hard I would manage to cover eberything (it was actually possible), whereas with these exams it doesn't feel possible. I have to learn everything we have done this term plus everything from last term by Monday. I have been trying to learn neurobiology today. I have gone through 3 sessions so far and there are 12 in total. I have to get through the entire of this module before I go to bed. It looks like it may well be a late night then, but it can't be too late seeing as I have to do another module tomorrow, plus go into the medical school for more lectures in the morning (and hence more to learn) and then anatomy in the afternoon. I am hoping that the 2 hour anatomy session is going to teach me the whole of the module. Not likely given that it took me a week last time. I'm most worried about the anatomy exam because it is a practical exam and so I will be on my own in the room with the examiner. However, despite being worried I can't actually revise anatomy at the moment because I still haven't finished this term's material. I guess I should stop writing this and actually get on with something useful but my head is swimming in neurobiology at the moment and I need a break. I think that I cup of tea might help!

Anyway, the point was that I don't think I'm as stressed as last time because I am aware of the fact that I won't be able to do everything. I just need to make sure that I do do as much as is possible.

On a positive note, yesterday we had an interesting lecture (although unfortunately probably no use for the exam), but the lecturer had some useful advice about choosing what to do based on what you enjoy rather than where the money is. It got me thinking that I may well end up back in public health at the some point. However, yesterday I was realiing how much better I would be at my old job after 18 months of medicine so hopefully it has been worth it.
