I felt smarter in RJ by virtue of the basal level of general genius around me. Medical school, however, is a morass where politics matters more than intellectual or academic pedigree, where tutors assigned are more content to let trainees flounder daily since accountability for student performance is zilch, and where the reward for graduation is years upon years of the stuff you are supposed to have graduated to from.

It seems I've disrupted from the military school of the OCS, only to be enrolled in this military school of the mind. Is this what vocational school feels like?

There's a student revolution underway, to increase tutor accountability, to reduce the number of days wasted in a clinic where random chance allocates you a tutor fain to silence, broken only by a request for you to run down to the Radiology department to retrieve reports.

There is a student revolution underway, but I fear it is too feeble, and too late.


Motivation level for today : Just do well enough to get by. Not surprisingly, same as in OCS.
