No Pressure

So as of now I'm passing all my classes for 2nd year. Not by a huge margin, but passing. Some better than others. BUT... I have to take the 2nd year NBME shelf exams on Tuesday and Wednesday and those count for 25% of my final grade. Which means I can still fail 2nd year. Which means I have a year of my life and $70k riding on those two days. Which is not good. I took a practice exam yesterday and it wasn't pretty folks. Sigh. Well, if I fail out you'll know what happened.

    we all go through those times... but here's the thing they don't tell you. you pass 90% of the time. and the remaining 10% well it's learning experience. But focus on the huge 90%. You can do it.

    Breathing and positive thinking Ella!! You've studied already - you just need to remember and know that you've studied.

    It WILL work out.
