Tri-3, Wk13, Day 187 - Monday

Holy you know what ...

where to start.... Well, for whatever reason the test that had been scheduled for well over a week had some people wanting the test changed and at the last minute (ie today) our class voted to change the test to Friday. I don't agree with the last minute change. Not everyone was available to vote and many people had already made sacrifices to take the test tomorrow - it's kind of screwing me up but guess it's something to deal with. As a class officer, I might shoot out an email suggesting last minute changes not be made anymore - certainly not with less than 24 hours before a test. And, of course, we have another physio test coming up - also this Friday or perhaps the following Mon.

Irene Gold Prep payments were due today for National Boards and I got that taken care of. I've also been working on the actual application for National boards online but had some problems w/ the system and submitted an email to the NBCE for help. The application for National Boards is kind of like submitting for a passport, right down to the picture which must be submitted w/ the application.

We have a review for our physio final exam scheduled for this coming Saturday at noon or 1 ...dang it - I just submitted a volunteer request with Barnes Jewish Hospital and requested midday on Saturday ...guess I'll have to change that....
Also, on Monday is another review for the physio final to be held at the Double Tree hotel close to school from 3 to 5 p.m.

And, of course, much of my future plans are predicated on successful completion of Tri-3. Assuming I get through that, here's what's going on and when...

  • 12/01 Tue - Irene Gold NBCE prep $ due
  • 12/03 Thur - Pathology review @ 4
  • 12/04 Fri - Pathology Exam 4
  • 12/05 Sat - Physio Final review at Logan
  • 12/06 Sun - Volunteer w/ BJC at St. Louis Science Center
  • 12/07 Mon - Physio Exam 5 and Diversified Practical and physio final review at Double Tree
  • 12/08 Tue -
  • 12/09 Wed - Microbiology Lab Exam
  • 12/10 Thur - Orthopedics Final Practical
  • 12/11 Fri - Basic I Final & Public Health Final and NBCE application due
  • 12/14 Mon - Diversified Final and Pathology Final
  • 12/15 Tue - Philosophy Final and Microbiology Final
  • 12/16 Wed - Physiology II Final & Embryo Final
  • 12/17 Thur - Orthopedics Final
Tri-4 should start on Jan 12th, which is a Tuesday. That coming Fri, Sat & Sunday on Jan 15, 16 & 17 we'll have NBCE study reviews and we'll have more study reviews the following Fri, Sat & Sunday. Then again in February on the 12th, 13th & 14th we'll have NBCE reviews again then we'll have until the NBCE reviews at Logan to keep studying. During the week before we actually take the boards, our classes will be replaced with school sponsored review sessions every day leading up to our actual testing.

For anyone reading this that's starting at Logan this January, you'll be in the same boat I'm in and will need to have an extra $835 next December to cover the cost of prep & testing fees for Part I of the National Boards.

I guess I'll publish this post then stare at my blog and try to come up w/ a plan for tackling everything that's coming up.
