1
00:00:10,986 --> 00:00:15,986
came to the library to study today

2
00:00:20,833 --> 00:00:25,633
Tea time

3
00:00:39,066 --> 00:00:44,133
Free snacks heh

4
00:01:01,266 --> 00:01:03,566
My first final exam is tomorrow.

5
00:01:03,566 --> 00:01:06,100
I have 7 finals in total.

6
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,800
Exporting my lecture notes to Notability

7
00:01:20,833 --> 00:01:24,733
These are all of my objectives notes that I took.

8
00:01:24,733 --> 00:01:27,433
Just going to go through this a couple of times

9
00:01:27,433 --> 00:01:30,066
and I think I might call it a night after that.

10
00:01:30,433 --> 00:01:33,566
I saw a huge spider literally this big.

11
00:01:33,566 --> 00:01:34,566
I couldn't catch it.

12
00:01:34,566 --> 00:01:36,166
I'm in my bedroom right now

13
00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:38,433
and now I don't know where it is

14
00:01:38,433 --> 00:01:40,366
It might be on on my bed.

15
00:01:40,366 --> 00:01:42,066
That's going to keep me awake.

16
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:48,433
I need to get 4 pathology questions right to pass the course.

17
00:01:48,433 --> 00:01:49,933
4 out of 27

18
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:52,733
There's no way I’m not getting at least 4 right.

19
00:01:52,733 --> 00:01:57,666
So, that's okay. I need to get 2 out of 36 clinical questions right

20
00:01:57,666 --> 00:01:59,533
I'm okay with that.

21
00:01:59,533 --> 00:02:02,266
The catch here is microbio

22
00:02:02,266 --> 00:02:05,166
I need to get 8

23
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:07,566
out of 17 of those questions right

24
00:02:07,566 --> 00:02:08,866
That's scary

25
00:02:08,866 --> 00:02:11,266
I am not down to remediate anything.

26
00:02:11,266 --> 00:02:14,600
This exam is the only one that I'm scared about failing.

27
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,000
The other 6 exams I'm not worried about failing those,

28
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,533
but they're just stressful because

29
00:02:19,533 --> 00:02:22,133
they're practicals and I still have to practice for them,

30
00:02:22,133 --> 00:02:23,933
Basically, how practicals work is that

31
00:02:23,933 --> 00:02:25,633
you work with a standardized patient.

32
00:02:25,633 --> 00:02:27,533
They present with a chief complaint

33
00:02:27,533 --> 00:02:30,666
and then you do a focused history and physical to figure out

34
00:02:30,666 --> 00:02:33,433
your working diagnosis and 3 differential diagnoses

35
00:02:33,433 --> 00:02:37,200
and then from there, we would have to present our findings to

36
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,966
the preceptor, including treatment options

37
00:02:39,966 --> 00:02:42,400
like medications, imaging, labs , etc.

38
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,600
The patient is going to present with fatigue (for this practical)

39
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,733
and it's so stressful because there are so many

40
00:02:47,733 --> 00:02:50,400
possible differentials for fatigue.

41
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,833
Fatigue? Omg, do you have sleep apnea?

42
00:02:53,833 --> 00:02:55,533
Do you have leukemia?

43
00:02:55,533 --> 00:02:58,300
But anyway, you guys, after this final exam,

44
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,833
I'm not going to be using any of my brain cells

45
00:03:00,833 --> 00:03:04,033
this summer break is for no brain cell activities.

46
00:03:04,033 --> 00:03:07,000
I'm going to be sleeping. Hibernating.

47
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,333
Should I even bother studying for anything other than microbio right now?

48
00:03:11,333 --> 00:03:15,533
Because this Google doc is 32 pages long.

49
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:17,766
Maybe I should just go to sleep right now.

50
00:03:17,766 --> 00:03:19,733
No, that's definitely not a good idea.

51
00:03:19,733 --> 00:03:22,933
Dude, renal is supposed to be my favorite system.

52
00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:24,633
What’s going onnn

53
00:03:27,566 --> 00:03:31,433
Morning of exam

54
00:03:37,933 --> 00:03:40,200
microbio stuff that I need to cram.

55
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,933
I took this to New York and back.

56
00:03:42,933 --> 00:03:44,466
This has been through a lot.

57
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:58,766
No more energy to study

58
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:05,233
I passed.

59
00:04:06,566 --> 00:04:09,233
I got all of the microbio questions right.

60
00:04:09,233 --> 00:04:10,833
I didn't even need to worry about that.

61
00:04:10,833 --> 00:04:13,333
50%? Ha, easyyyy

62
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:15,700
now I have 6 more exams to go.

63
00:04:21,566 --> 00:04:23,066
Now that today's exam is over,

64
00:04:23,066 --> 00:04:24,933
I'm feeling a lot more at ease.

65
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:31,000
I'm going to go to campus soon to practice for the practicals I have tomorrow.

66
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,700
I'm not super stressed out about them anymore.

67
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:34,900
I'm kind of just like

68
00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:36,966
it is what it is. It’s whatever.

69
00:04:36,966 --> 00:04:38,900
For the first practical I have this semester,

70
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:42,633
I was very underprepared. It wasn't my best performance

71
00:04:42,633 --> 00:04:46,333
and then I ended up overpreparing for my second practical.

72
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:47,233
The outcome is the same.

73
00:04:47,233 --> 00:04:48,800
I'm still passing, regardless.

74
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,566
So for this practical, I'm just going to prepare enough for me

75
00:04:51,566 --> 00:04:54,166
to feel confident in myself going in, but

76
00:04:54,166 --> 00:04:58,066
I'm not going to stay up trying to memorize every single thing.

77
00:04:58,066 --> 00:05:01,400
I have a very bad stomach ache right now.

78
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,466
Hot girls have stomach issues.

79
00:05:03,466 --> 00:05:06,900
I’ve been sitting here because my stomach hurts so bad.

80
00:05:08,833 --> 00:05:11,366
I feel so underprepared for this practical.

81
00:05:11,366 --> 00:05:14,100
It's actually terrifying.

82
00:05:28,833 --> 00:05:29,433
help

83
00:05:31,533 --> 00:05:35,166
I only prepared for a handful of diagnoses last night

84
00:05:35,166 --> 00:05:36,500
cuz I was too tired

85
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:38,766
I'm just hoping I get one of those.

86
00:05:42,933 --> 00:05:45,233
Thank you to Skillshare for sponsoring this video.

87
00:05:45,233 --> 00:05:47,533
Skillshare is the largest online learning community

88
00:05:47,533 --> 00:05:49,766
with thousands of classes led by industry experts

89
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:54,166
across film, illustration, design, freelance, productivity, and more.

90
00:05:54,166 --> 00:05:55,066
As you guys may know,

91
00:05:55,066 --> 00:05:57,200
a lot of medical students, including myself,

92
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,200
use Anki to study for exams and prep for boards.

93
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,633
Although I've been using Anki for over a year now,

94
00:06:02,633 --> 00:06:04,700
there is quite a learning curve to the study tool,

95
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,166
so I never got the chance to fully master it beyond the basic functions

96
00:06:08,166 --> 00:06:10,500
Luckily, I was able able to find a class on Skillshare

97
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:13,166
that covers everything you need to know about this software,

98
00:06:13,166 --> 00:06:15,500
including the optimal settings to have for medical school

99
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,800
and how to create your own flash cards to study with

100
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,900
With summer break coming up,

101
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,666
I'm excited to use skillshare to build healthy study habits

102
00:06:21,666 --> 00:06:23,300
and explore new productivity skills

103
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,733
that will better prepare me for the new school year in the fall.

104
00:06:25,733 --> 00:06:27,433
There are also tons of classes that can help

105
00:06:27,433 --> 00:06:28,866
you build your small business

106
00:06:28,866 --> 00:06:30,666
or explore new creative skills,

107
00:06:30,666 --> 00:06:32,400
so if you want to spend this upcoming summer

108
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,466
investing time into yourself and your goals,

109
00:06:34,466 --> 00:06:36,533
Skillshare would be the perfect place to start.

110
00:06:36,533 --> 00:06:38,900
The first 500 people to use my

111
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:41,733
will receive a 1 month free trial of Skillshare.

112
00:06:41,733 --> 00:06:42,533
Get started today.

113
00:06:42,533 --> 00:06:44,466
I'm so devastated right now.

114
00:06:44,466 --> 00:06:46,566
I was able to come up with my diagnosis

115
00:06:46,566 --> 00:06:48,500
pretty early on in the practical,

116
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:50,766
which is good cuz then I can start thinking about

117
00:06:50,766 --> 00:06:53,333
what tests I'm going to do for the physical exam so

118
00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:56,233
everything was good. I had enough time to finish everything.

119
00:06:56,233 --> 00:06:58,233
We're given a piece of paper to take notes on

120
00:06:58,233 --> 00:07:00,066
and also just gather our thoughts

121
00:07:00,066 --> 00:07:04,133
before we formally present everything to the faculty.

122
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:07,300
They tell us when we have 6 minutes left on the clock.

123
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:09,533
That's when students usually start start talking.

124
00:07:09,533 --> 00:07:13,600
But then last time, I regretted not spending enough time on

125
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,766
gathering my thoughts before making my presentation

126
00:07:15,766 --> 00:07:18,033
because there were things that I remembered in hindsight

127
00:07:18,033 --> 00:07:20,100
that I could add to my presentation,

128
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:22,666
so this time, I took my time formulating my thoughts

129
00:07:22,666 --> 00:07:25,933
before I started presenting, but I ran out of time.

130
00:07:25,933 --> 00:07:27,100
But it makes sense that I ran out of time

131
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:28,033
because I was spending the extra time

132
00:07:28,033 --> 00:07:29,633
adding more to my presentation which would make it longer.

133
00:07:29,633 --> 00:07:31,600
I had more labs to order, more medications and stuff to talk about.

134
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,800
I should have known to start earlier

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,466
It’s frustrating knowing that I could have done better

136
00:07:35,466 --> 00:07:38,433
but I wasn't able to bc I was just like in my own head.

137
00:07:41,033 --> 00:07:43,033
little kith from cat 😽

138
00:07:50,566 --> 00:07:54,266
I'm just going to air fry some tofu for dinner.

139
00:08:11,533 --> 00:08:12,900
I took a nap I still have my coffee from

140
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:14,566
I still have my coffee from the morning.

141
00:08:14,566 --> 00:08:16,966
After I filmed the no caffeine challenge,

142
00:08:16,966 --> 00:08:20,500
I honestly don't even crave caffeine as much as I used to.

143
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,333
This was my only cup of coffee or source of caffeine

144
00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:25,933
and I didn't even finish it.

145
00:08:25,933 --> 00:08:26,433
Who am I?

146
00:08:26,433 --> 00:08:28,800
I mean that's probably why I slept for so long though.

147
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,933
If I wanted to stay awake, I would have had to have coffee.

148
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:36,500
nice

149
00:08:37,633 --> 00:08:38,966
nice

150
00:08:47,666 --> 00:08:49,666
stop being tired

151
00:08:49,666 --> 00:08:53,166
I got a restock of energy drinks from Alani.

152
00:08:54,866 --> 00:08:59,500
I have 3 more exams left and all of these are didactic exams.

153
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:00,500
Thank God.

154
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:03,400
I literally cannot do another practical.

155
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,466
Now I just need to go through a bunch of practice problems and

156
00:09:07,466 --> 00:09:08,833
everything will be good.

157
00:09:08,833 --> 00:09:10,700
One of the exams, I have to pass.

158
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:13,033
The other exam I don’t really have to pass.

159
00:09:13,033 --> 00:09:17,166
and then the last one on friday, I have to pass, I think.

160
00:09:17,166 --> 00:09:18,666
But, I'm not too stressed out about it.

161
00:09:24,566 --> 00:09:28,300
Time to take another exam

162
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,800
I took an exam this morning.

163
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,833
I've been really bad at vlogging myself studying,

164
00:09:43,833 --> 00:09:47,366
but I did stay up until like 3am studying last night.

165
00:09:47,366 --> 00:09:48,800
I feel like I overstudied.

166
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,233
I have another exam in the afternoon.

167
00:09:51,233 --> 00:09:54,100
I think it's only like 1% of our grade.

168
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:57,300
I am going to check real quick

169
00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:02,133
and see if I actually have to take this because

170
00:10:02,133 --> 00:10:04,233
I have a feeling it's going to be a long exam

171
00:10:04,233 --> 00:10:08,300
and I'd rather just give up the 1% and not go

172
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:10,866
and start studying for my exam tomorrow

173
00:10:10,866 --> 00:10:12,700
cuz I haven't started studying for that exam

174
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:14,000
and I’m more worried about that.

175
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,933
At this point, I'm not even excited for summer break anymore.

176
00:10:17,933 --> 00:10:22,400
I need at least a week to emotionally recover from this first year

177
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,200
and then maybe I'll start feeling a little bit more alive

178
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,166
and more excited for summer break

179
00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:32,300
but as of right now, I look forward to nothing in life.

180
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:33,533
I don’t- I don't care.

181
00:10:33,533 --> 00:10:35,733
Guys, worst case scenario happened to me.

182
00:10:35,733 --> 00:10:39,400
My laptop died halfway through my exam.

183
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,166
I didn’t have my charger with me.

184
00:10:41,166 --> 00:10:44,100
That was my fault. I should have known to bring my charger.

185
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:46,966
I had to borrow my professor's MacBook charger.

186
00:10:46,966 --> 00:10:48,933
He was like, “Please give it back to me”

187
00:10:48,933 --> 00:10:50,933
I'm just like emptying out my fridge at this point.

188
00:10:50,933 --> 00:10:53,200
I have some egg whites and these umm…

189
00:10:54,233 --> 00:10:56,666
I actually don't know what these are, but they're…

190
00:10:56,666 --> 00:10:57,966
They taste good!

191
00:10:58,500 --> 00:10:59,900
I have some barbecue sauce

192
00:11:03,966 --> 00:11:07,833
These were actually mushroom patties (?)

193
00:11:15,966 --> 00:11:20,766
Going through my notes and ppt slides

194
00:11:31,966 --> 00:11:33,933
last final exam

195
00:11:33,933 --> 00:11:37,666
I never look this put together to go to school

196
00:11:37,666 --> 00:11:41,366
but I'm like actually not in a hoodie today.

197
00:11:43,833 --> 00:11:45,100
Let's go!

198
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:48,566
That was actually a pretty rough exam.

199
00:11:48,566 --> 00:11:51,433
I passed but it was…

200
00:11:51,433 --> 00:11:53,566
not a good score lol

201
00:11:53,566 --> 00:11:55,400
I think I studied the wrong material.

202
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,333
I decided to skip a few lectures,

203
00:11:57,333 --> 00:12:00,633
but those two lectures were very high yield

204
00:12:00,633 --> 00:12:04,366
and I guessed on like half the questions

205
00:12:04,366 --> 00:12:05,633
but I still passed

206
00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:07,766
Cheers to finishing my first year of med school 👍

207
00:12:07,766 --> 00:12:09,900
Thank you for coming along this journey with me :)
