Sorry it's been a while since I posted. This week was the first week med school required anything out of us, so therefore I was really busy. We had a homework assignment due Tuesday and a "quiz" on Thursday (which really covered an amount of material like a test). And we didn't have a single lunch talk! Now they are making us study harder and they stopped feeding us? What's up with that?
I can't think of anything really clever to say right now, which is perhaps why I haven't posted recently. Med school is really fun and occasionally miserable, but it comes in waves that give me an overall happy impression of my life in med school. For instance, yesterday I wanted to vomit when I cut open my cadaver's stomach because it smelled so bad. Anatomy yesterday was terrible in general. The lecture was really boring and the lab was really smelly. It just put me in a bad mood. Plus I was tired because I hadn't caught up on sleep yet. But after that, I spent the entire rest of the day hanging out with friends, which made me feel happy about life in general. I love the flexibility of my schedule and the amount of time I get to spend socializing (at least at this point). In my view, what I'm learning is important, but establishing relationships and spending time with people is more important to becoming a great doctor. How can you relate to your patients if you've spent your whole life reading a book? Then again, maybe that's just the excuse I'm using to have a fun weekend guilt-free. :)
