First two weeks

Wow, I haven't posted since I've moved for medical school! The last few weeks have been intense. We had orientation the first week, which was awful and boring. The first week of class was actually pretty easy, but we were also getting used to dissecting our cadavers and the pace of learning in medical school. This past week (the second week of classes), the intensity got turned up and we definitely had to work a lot harder to learn everything that was coming at us. So many PowerPoint slides and pages of reading...

We have a weekly quiz on Fridays, except for every third Friday, when there's a full exam and lab practical. I've done well on both the weekly quizzes so far, scoring the same on each one, but I'm trying not to let that influence me to let my guard down.

I'm also excited that our first exam is next Friday, right before the long Labor Day weekend, because that means I can go home right after the exam! I've seen my parents in the last couple of weeks, because they came down for my white coat ceremony, along with my grandmother, but I haven't seen Cooper, Abbey, or my other grandmother is almost a month. But soon! Soon I will have time.

So, yeah! Overall things have gone well. It's definitely a lot of hard work, but it is all relatively interesting, and it's nice to be learning clinically relevant information. I almost feel like I'm not an impostor now when I wear my white coat!
