So probably another vent thread here. I was actually enjoying my intern year and having quite a bit of fun. This all pretty much stopped once I registered for Step 3 and started studying. Now I absolutely HATE being an intern. I HATE having to do anything involving work; I feel that it takes up time I should be using to study for Step 3! I HATE the idea that, were I to fail, I will have to keep doing this **** for countless more weeks.
To top it off, the military is not gentle with people who don't pass. Unlike civilian programs, they give us until June 30 to pass. If we don't pass by June 30, we get put on 90 days of administrative leave to pass. If we have not passed by this date, we are terminated from our residency and force to be administrative officers for the next four years. I have studied, studied, and studied. Then studied some more. I feel GUILTY for feeling burned out and just taking one day to say, "screw it all" and relax. Just when I start to feel comfortable with my knowledge base, I think of something I don't remember well or may be weak in and go at it hardcore again but find that I can't keep it up for long before I start to feel apathetic and just want to stop.
This sucks. Please let it end ....
