Pass!

I passed my first semester of medical school! That probably doesn't sound like a big deal, but anyone who's familiar with Ross University knows that just making it to 2nd semester is a milestone. Like I may have mentioned before, I was doing ok until the final. I never really struggled with grades and was never really borderline pass/fail until I finished the final and could have sworn I failed biochem so badly that I wouldn't get promoted to 2nd semester. Well, I definitely did do VERY badly on the biochem portion of the final, but thankfully, good enough to allow me to get promoted.

So now I can relax and enjoy the rest of my winter break without TOO much worry. 2nd semester will definitely be difficult. Some say it's the hardest semester of basic sciences, but we'll see. I know I really studied well 1st semester. I didn't struggle too much with the workload because NYU prepared me pretty well. And thankfully, I maintained pretty good study habits all throughout the semester. However, I know I have to step it up and have more of that urgency to really master the material as best as I can on the day that lecture is held. Hopefully, I can improve.
