it is indeed a bad sign when you're going over your notes from class and you find one concept that you've circled and written WTF?! next to it.

I also must wonder if it is a bad sign that I've written the above statement in the second person.

That's right...6 of the suckers. I wonder if that could imply that I could pass physiology. Don't get me wrong, I love the class. I love it. I love the material. It's interesting and engaging. Want to know how a heart attack kills you? I can tell ya. Want to know what's going on during an asthma attack? I can tell ya ( Read more... )

I think I can stay in med school. The entire ordeal was actually a lot easier than I imagined, but then I am a bit of a worrier. I was in the same group of people that I'm always in. They always break us up into small groups by alphabetical order. As a result, I'm good friends with Deidre Wyrick, Kristin (formerly Harshfield) Wheeler, Lynn Wink ( Read more... )

I have to say, I love physiology class, but the exams are just nasty. The past few weeks have been some intense respiratory physiology lectures. Well, tomorrow, we get to put our knowledge to practice on a 32,000 dollar model patient. His name is SIM-MAN. We're going to be able to take his pulse, blood pressure, heart rate, etc. We can even ( Read more... )

In the South, we love to overreact to ice and snow and anything that might make the road be a little bit slick. On Thursday, we had a trivial amount of wintry mix precipitation, followed by more on Friday. We had two inclement weather days, despite the fact that the school handbook says ( Read more... )

Actually, this is a dean and a professor ( Read more... )

This is nothing new for my fellow classmates, but for those friends of mine who aren't in med school (if I have any left), here is a little treat for you. Hopefully I won't get a negative non-cog for this ( Read more... )

and I have to say, it didn't freak me out as much as I thought it was going to. I was a bit apprehensive going into the locker room. There's been a scarf covering it this entire time, leaving me happily ignorant. I've been thinking of the cadaver as a learning model more than the remains of a human being but felt like this might destroy the ( Read more... )

I went to a Baha'i service today. It wasn't a real service--just a Baha'i fellowship/potluck thing. I certainly liked the people. I am interested in learning more about the faith. I think world religions are fascinating, even if I don't really belong to one anymore. We got to listen to a college kid who did a year of service to the Baha'i ( Read more... )

Yesterday, when I got home from class, I went to wake up my laptop to do some work, and it didn't turn on. I restart it. It doesn't turn on. It started to, but the only thing that happened was that the light by the power button turned on and the cd rom made its usual start up noise. Then nothing but a simple blue powerlight being on and an ( Read more... )
