from cramming over 100 Organic Chem reactions
Ha ha ha. I remember doing that! And in the next few years I'll be doing massive data crams and dumps in med school.

It's a rite of passage. Before you can become a doctor, you must thoroughly floss your mind clean with our bzillion strands of useless information! My GP says he never, never, never uses ANYTHING he had to study in college. GRRPH! I'm now surrounded by mostly premed students who HAVE to get A's. Poor saps. But it makes it harder for me to take advantage of curving when the chaff has all been blown away. :-)
I just wrote to the profs in Biochem and Organic Chem to tell them what's happening and that I'm still going to get As in their classes. I am dropping P-chem as the writing is on the wall in that one. (WORST TEXTBOOK I HAVE EVER USED. Full of errors and it has totally undermined my confidence with thermodynamics...and I got As in all of the prerequisites. 62% on the first exam. GRRPH.)
You all are in my prayers tonight. I've never ever in my life felt so close to so many people I don't even know personally. The pain and fear is so much less than it was--even the negative stories give me a more realistic view of what's happening to me.
