nerdtopia, stress, and other stories
this week i brought home my brand new microscope and slide collection. if my digicam were here, i'd take a photo of it. that not being the case right now, i'll have to make do with a word picture.
my microscope is so much cooler than the ones we have in the lab at school. yay. (actually, they work just the same except that mine is much, much newer. and mine's off white, not black.)
and my slides are also new (not old and cracked), and they show the histology ofdifferent parts of the human body. pretty neat, if that's your kind of thing. obviously, it has to be mine, or i wouldn't be in med school studying these things for the next four years. most of the cells are pink/blue, owing to the hematoxylin/eosin stain commonly used on the specmens. and they come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and patterns, too.
i can't believe i'm gushing over a microscope and tissue slides.

got stressed a while ago because of this one reason compounded by this other reason. good thing my sister is here to tell me not to get so worked up over things. and to make me a nice, steaming cup of hot cocoa. mmmm. what are sisters for, right?
anyhoo, i'm getting pretty close to okay now =)

teej and gino, had so much fun last saturday! next time ulit ha. teej, so proud of you, you're working aredy! gino, i hope your first week of med school's going aryt. me, i'm still frustrated because i haven't been able to see as many movies as i used to in college. hehe, kidding.
but, seriously, med school's so much more work than college. i'm still getting used to the workload. and to the class schedules, which change like every week. after the adjustment period, however, i intend to have the time of my life. in med school.
was that a contradiction? but still, i suppose it could be possible...
