Twelve hour dental school days aren’t even long anymore. They’re just typical. At the end of them, you come back home (starving, if you didn’t pack a dinner) and just settle in and try to concentrate on more work until bedtime. Thankfully, nothing is hard per se… it’s just a gigantic pile of things to memorize.
Mykala has been keeping me sane; she gives me perspective and food, as needed. Both of very high quality.
So, yes — lots and lots of memorization. As time progresses, this will give way to skill building and understanding. In the meantime, the information dam has broken, and the weight of the water crashes down each day.
Give me a snorkel and a pencil, and we’ll press on until December.
