Study Smart

So these past few weeks have been the Basic Pathology 2 Module in school. When they had said that it would be the hardest module -- they were NOT kidding. It's been 4 weeks of head buried in books and a barrage of super-long, never-ending exams. No matter how much you study, you still aren't able to fully memorize the details and perfect 120-140 point exams.

It's crazy.

I'm starting to see friends, classmates, (even myself at one point), starting to doubt themselves. People who aren't used to failure suddenly faced with week-after-week barely-passing grades.

I'm one of those struggling to keep it together (we dont have 'recovery time'; after an exam, NEXT lecture right away, so theres really no time to fall apart),. But Im takin a short break from staring at histopathology slides (i swear, they all look the same to me!), to share this quote I heard from someone who found the right style that complements this module. I turned it into a doodle on a piece of scratch paper to remind myself:
Study Smart not necessarily Hard.

I'll get back to you when I've found MY appropriate style -- when I fully understand this quote. For now, back to histopatho.

XOXO, Joanie
