The first week of medical school has past by very quickly. I feel like I have been tossed into a blender. The cadevar lab is getting easy, but there are still moments when you realize that you are working on a "real" person. Embryology started yesterday. It is like a whole semester of Developmental Biology in one hour! I fought to stay awake, because I like the topic, but it was a challenge.
So far I don't have many complaints about medical school. I knew that I would have to work hard, and I was right. One tip I have, it to swim after lab, that way you smell like chlorine instead of formaldehyde.
My apoligies to my body buddy Bilal, today I sent "juices" flying into his face....yuck!
Tomorrow is the Psi Chi Party. I am going to meet some people and to not think about anatomy. I do wish that Matt, Karen, or Jenny could come next weekend to help me celebrate my first exam being finished, but I will just have to wait until Labor day.
Band started in Fargo. It is going to be weird listening to Matt talk about it and NOT be involved. It is sort of like steeping out of one life into another. I guess that is something I should get used to, because I will forever more be intwo worlds, the world of medicine, and the world of everyone else.
Back to anatomy. I have to learn the posterior thigh tonight (Gluteus maximus!)
