I'm still alive

Haven't posted in a few weeks...more a indictment of my laziness than of being overloaded or overstressed. The best thing about medical school is that studying isn't so painful as some of the studying in undergrad. No more physics, calc, random course that I really don't give a rat's ass about. No, using up valuable socializing time in the dissection lab or studying immunology is not my idea of fun, but the information really is interesting and I feel priviliged to be in the process of becoming a physician.

Yesterday was my first experience with the brachial plexus. I must say the hype is a bit much. I don't feel too intimidated by any of the structures we've gone over yet. Then I read the manual for tomorrow's lab... How many fucking muscles can there be in the forearm and hand? Talk about gross anatomy. hahahahaha, get it?

Other than studies, I've spent a bit of time at free lunches and dinners which are abundant in medical school. There was a posh dinner complete with filet mignon and free drinks last week, not too shabby. We've also been on boat cruises and an assortment of activities to get us to get drunk and bond, which I have been more than happy to do.
