An update on my life:
I am three weeks away from finishing my first year of medical school. This year went by so fast and I can't believe it is almost over and I'm about to begin the last summer break of my life (third year starts at the beginning of June). Thats not to say it was easy; med school is possibly the most difficult thing I have ever done. I've also done some things here that most people will never do, mostly, ya know, cutting up a human body (which was so amazing by the way, I miss anatomy!), but other stuff too. I'm also really enjoying seeing patients, which surprised me. What I am not looking forward to is the hour and a half long standardized patient exam that is in two weeks, but I haven't thrown up on a patient yet, so I'm hopeful.
I've met some really awesome people here, but the educational environment is so different from BMC that it really shocks me sometimes. The weirdest thing is that I have all my classes with all of my friends, because as first year med students, we take all the same classes. I'm so used to not seeing my friends except in social situations, but I'm getting used to it and I really like talking through class in the back of the lecture hall and passing notes like we are in fifth grade.
I noticed when I was at May Day last weekend that I'm not surprised at seeing boys all over the place anymore. I didn't miss having them around at Bryn Mawr, but now that they are around, I have to say that I like it. I really like having guy friends, especially when we can scare them by talking about girly stuff. I was sort of seeing this guy for a while, but not anymore. Don't be sad for me though, I'm honestly more upset at not having someone to hook up with than I am at not having a boyfriend. Yes, my maturity astounds me too. All in all, I was pretty slutty this year, but I'm okay with that.
In conclusion, my life is pretty much all about school, but it's pretty good anyway!
