I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to use unusual vocabulary. I just chose the words with which I could best express my thoughts on the matter. Clearly they have fallen on deaf ears:

Based on these further remarks, I have further choice words for you, Justin, which would be unbecoming of my position in this community. Needless to say, however, in my relatively few years in teaching and working with children, I have encountered toddlers with more wisdom than you.

If you recall some of his remarks a few weeks ago that lead to a temporary ban, it is pretty obvious you can't reason with him and that he also just likes to get people riled up. At this point it would probably be best to stop responding in such a manner and farther provoking him and this silly arguement to contiunue, especially in a thread dedicated to someone like garçoncanadien. I just vote to ignore the stupid remarks and maybe he'll shut up?

But anyhow back on track. Hang in there garçoncanadien, I've always enjoyed reading your posts even back when I was just a guest lurker. Your contributions to the French learning section have really helped me a ton. We are all rooting for you. Stay in touch.

Well my block 2 scores (second exams) have come back and I feel like such a ridiculous failure. I have never felt so horrible in my whole life. I know all the pep talk tricks to keep myself happy, but failing eight exams really gets me down. like 62% fail. I have never been such a loser in my whole life - Im really sorry guys to tell you this I know it seems out of character.

Bottom line - I need to get my butt into shape for my third and fourth exams or I repeat the class again. 5 years in medical school. What on earth do I need to do? What on earth is wrong with me?

Hi GC,

I suspect it's a watershed, sink-or-swim environment. I remember Advanced Calculus: people who were used to acing HWs and tests were getting 60% on everything. They don't want everyone to become doctors; they need to find people who can take a beating, get knocked to the floor, and drag themselves up for another round of punishment. Medicine's tough; you'll never cure everyone, your tools will never be good enough, you'll never know enough, and the latest state-of-the-art treatments you learn today have a ~ 50/50 chance of being considered cruel medieval leechings in 20 years. You have to be able to handle that kind of burden to do your job effectively and I suspect they want to burn that into you with a trial by fire. So few people even make it in; you made that cut, and you're doing your very best to make the next one. Give it all you've got; if it's what you really want to do, then you'll push yourself as hard as you can and get as far as you can.

There is nothing wrong with you. Keep trying and work hard. They will throw a lot at you. They are trying to filter out those who don't have the stick-to-it-iveness to persevere.

In the end, either you will be successful or you won't. Either way you will know you gave it your all.
