It's April, which means the NBME is right around the corner! And with that comes finishing basic sciences! 

A lot of people have been asking me if I am stressed about it and honestly I'm more stressed thinking about taking the STEP in (hopefully) four months from now. 

Here's a hilarious take on NBME questions: http://whatshouldwecallmedschool.tumblr.com/post/79993459706/how-nbme-questions-are-written

We had our final class last Friday, which gives us about a week and a half to study on our own before we write the exam. I'm currently reading First Aid and doing Kaplan questions (trying to aim to hit at least 1500, currently at 1329). 

Oh ya, our school has merchandise now! (woo!) Starting next semester, school uniforms will be made mandatory. (boo!) I snagged myself a long-sleeved sweatshirt just to wear around the house when I'm back in Toronto.
