Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, things have been extremely hectic. This past week I had an anatomy test on Monday and a Cell and Tissue Biology test on Thursday. Needless to say, it was a week (and the week before) of studying and not sleeping. My anatomy test went alright. It is definitely the most challenging course for me. I don't understand how I can study so hard (harder than my other classes) and still do worse. It is frustrating. One exciting thing is that I am more than half way done anatomy. This rocks! I will be so happy when it is over.
My other exam in Cell & Tissue Biology went extremely well. In fact, I surprised myself how many questions I got right on the exam. I studied, well, no...let me correct my self...I CRAMMED so much for this exam that it is good to get a reward for my hard work and lack of sleep. The night before the test I managed to get between 3 and 4 hours of sleep. This was NOT cool, but it had to be done.
Having had an extremely busy few weeks I am taking three days off of school work. I have already taken two of them, and I should actually do some stuff today, but my birthday present to myself is to not do ANY school work on my birthday. Ha! You know you are in medical school if you give yourself a day off as a present to yourself. :P
Last night I had so much fun. The family medicine club, (plus some other clubs) went around in the neighbourhoods and trick or treated for canned goods for the local food pantry. It was really fun. I was in a group with four other medical students and we went and collected 126 cans in 1.5 hours!! It was awesome. And after, we had hot chocolate (with marshmallows) and cookies- which was much appreciated since we were cold to the bone. We also won first prize for the group who collected the most cans and got a t-shirt and work-out bag for our efforts.
So today it my birthday and I am going to do some fun stuff. I am going shopping this afternoon, then out to dinner, and then out to a Halloween party. One of the guys in my anatomy lab group is hosting a party and invited me. So I have a sweet costume and will have a great time tonight. Talk about being social - going out 2 nights in a row!
Well, I think that is it. I am going to make some coffee and lounge on the couch for a bit before I get going. Ahhh, I love the lazy mornings! :)
