Last Stretch

Finally, we are in the last stretch as Second Semesters. We survived (well, maybe not all of us...at least most of us...ok, most importantly I survived) what was supposedly the most difficult test that us medical students will take at Ross. After we took the Renal & Digestive System exam (Mini II) on Tuesday afternoon, we were so graciously given the night off from studying, only to have to start the last block the very next day. But taking the rest of that day and night off was just what my mind needed. I was so sick and tired of taking tests and studying that I decided to what? Partake in trivia night at DeChamps! That night I was able to enjoy a few refreshing beverages and hang out with friends for a little while, but had to quickly get back in the swing of things the next day for the start of the Reproductive & Integument module.

That's right. You heard me. We get to spend 2 and a 1/2 weeks studying one of the most uncomfortable topics concerning the human body. Splendid. But if there is one thing that I have learned so far...med school is not med school until you see your first mangled penis. Yea, I just said that too. You know that feeling when you see someone else hurt a part of their body, for example they break an arm, and then your own arm starts to hurt? Yep, I have been having that feeling a lot lately.

I guess I would be lying if I didn't say that I have been counting down the days until I go back to Florida. We are less than a month away from finishing Second Semester with only Mini III, a Micro Anatomy exam, a Gross Anatomy exam, a CCSB exam, and our Semester II Final standing in our way. Oh gosh, just writing that made me realize how much there is left! That equates to a lot of hours studying.

This upcoming week starts off quickly with lab tomorrow ("Male & Female External Genitalia"), 2 sessions of SGL, a Beginner's Suture Lab (put on by Surgery Club), and the usual...lectures everyday. It should provide for an eventful week. Anyway, that's all I have for today...
