Recon mission

Just a little thing we med students do that adds to our obsessive pre-test compulsiveness. This morning Mel and I staked out a pbl room to study in. The only problem is that they don't put out the lists for what is going on during the rooms during the day. These are study rooms often have meetings, classes, etc going on during the day at random times. The jackpot is when you find a free pbl for the entire day. We were studying this morning, waiting for the lady to come put up the sheet outside the door to tell us if our room was free. It wasn't. We waited a little while to give her a few minutes to put up the signs in the other doors and then.... reconnaissance mission.

That's what it felt like anyway - or maybe that's just my nerdiness coming out. Anyways, we gathered a few things so we could stake our claim if we were lucky enough to find a free room. Mel with her gigantic purse and coffee mug, and me with my half empty backpack and binder. We leave and as any good scouting mission should proceed - it was understood that we would go in opposite directions and meet at the other hallway, hopefully with one of us being successful.


An example of pre-test studying. Not from today though.
