Dunisms

As of now, I am a second year medical student. It is amazing how much these little victories mean, but in ten years, when I look back, I will remember moments of this year and some of the struggles, but I will not look at it as a momentous event just to get to my second year. But right now, I feel accomplished.

I actually kinda went out with a bang this year. As I was studying for Neuroscience, and trying to understand how the brain works and memorize all the pathways involved, I realized that was not working. So I changed tactics. I treated the last test as a word association game. I went over the syllabus and the study materials and tried to get a good idea of what words and phrases were next to each other. Then, come test time, I simply went in there and if the words in the question matched with the words in the answers, it was right. Yeah, I may have also applied a little old fashioned memorization, but mostly it was word association. And it worked.... very well.

On an unrelated note, all of us have lost something and then spent hours looking for it. Sometimes even enlisting help. Sometime we have even wished that we could have used a bloodhound. What if what you lost was a bloodhound? I saw a poster for a lost dog, a bloohound. Now how are you going to find that.
