So. Step 1. It's kind of a beast, but honestly I didn't feel like it was too awful. The questions that I got (they basically comprise the test out of a huge bank of different questions, so everyone's test is different) were all in all very similar to what I saw on my USMLE World question bank in terms of content and how much of a subject you saw (i.e. there was a lot of path, decent phys, little bits here and there of other things). My anatomy questions, thankfully, were pretty easy and understandable, as opposed to some nightmares I heard about from friends. There was not nearly as much micro or biochem as I expected or prepared for. I got a couple of really out there questions that I was lucky enough to know (thanks to random UWorld questions), and a few questions that were simply classified under the WTF category (but that's to be expected). I should get my score in 3-6 weeks, hoping for closer to 3 but not going to hold my breath.
I expected to be absolutely overjoyed at the end, but really it didn't sink in for about two days. If anything, the night of the exam I just felt...tired. It didn't hit me that I was done until I'd gotten to sleep in for a few days, but now I'm thoroughly enjoying my vacation. Other than our trip, I've basically just been chilling out, but now that I have a week or so before orientation for third year, I'm hoping to get some work done around the house and yard. There are a couple of closets here that are dying to be organized, and the mulch looks atrocious. Tomorrow, though, is reserved for D and I to celebrate our second anniversary! Not sure exactly what we'll be doing, but I know it will involve at least dinner and a movie, so I'll update on the exciting events later.
