Definitely

Just rocked the histo exam. Yay!

UPDATE: Ouch. Let me clarify. Rocked the practical. Written, not so much. But its over none-the-less!!!!

After Tomorrow

I'm done with Histology! Just got to make it through one month of Neurology and a couple weeks of Inflammation and I am DONE with 1st year! Well, minus those make-up exams I have to take during the summer.

Irritating

There is something about smelling marijuana in class that really irks the shit out of me. I'm not sure why, really... cause I really don't give a crap if people smoke pot or not. It's not particularly my cup of tea... but I'm not against it either. But for whatever reason, when I smell it on people in class I get really pissed off. Maybe I feel it is disrespectful to our learning environment, or maybe I'm jealous that other students are so ahead of the game that they can come to class totally gorked, or maybe I just can't stand the smell.

I mean, is it really not possible to take a shower or at least roll the windows down in the car instead of coming to school smelling like bud? I guess that may, indeed, be too much to ask. I mean some of these guys wore eau de dead body for all of first semester. Whats a little MJ compared to that?

Um, guys...

I love that you all read my blog... for which I am eternally grateful and in return I will try my best to entertain and motivate you towards med school.

But I have just one request.

Please don't send me your homework problems. As a first year, I have tons of my own homework... and my medicine/science knowledge level is somewhere between a grasshopper and a dandelion. I'll probably just mess you up. My best advice, go find someone smarter to ask :)

Larger than life

When I jumped off the elevator on the third floor today, there was, staring me right in the face... a research poster (the Urology Dept. was obviously proud of this one) with a very large photo of something similar to what is shown below. Only the one on the wall at school had a (very) real penis in it. The poster was on Peyronie's Disease, which is a disorder of the fibrous tissue in the penis. Ok, fair enough. But really? A big penis picture as a welcome to the 3rd floor? I'm not normally a person who laughs when I hear the word "vagina" or snickers when the professor says "clitoris".... but this made me laugh. Good for a giggle and a double take.

This is your brain on physio...

Physio test in an hour... and my brain is totally fried. Literally, I CAN NOT study for even one more second. Yet I feel as though I know nothing. We'll see how this plays out.
