...So this is what Med 2 is like

From what I can tell med 2 will prove challenging, but rewarding. I know I can survive this semester! I have been exhausted, and I don't see this changing, especially since epidemiology started. I just have to buck it up! All I can tell you is that I survived my first week and my first quiz now with flying colors! Epidemiology started this morning, though I have no clue what to expect for this 3 week class, it is a breath of fresh air to have a professor who is a practicing physician! Not only that but her background is pediatrics, and more formally neonatology. I am hoping I can sit down with her and talk about pediatrics before this class is over!

I got the pleasure of having my parents visit for a small amount of time last weekend. So much has happened at home since I left a little over a week ago. It is hard missing stuff but I know I am where I am supposed to be to get the job done. It was great showing them my new apartment and relaxing before the rev up of my classes this week. With that being said I spent time at dinner and in the sun with them. It was a nice break to the end of a challenging first week! Though I miss them a lot now, I know I will see them in 3 short months and get to have them down here for their vacation over the summer!

I have also gotten settled into my new apartment. I am also settling into living with my roomie (hey meg that's you!!) It is nice to have someone to share my day with other then Nicholas! It is nice not being alone, I know it has only been a week, but I know it will come in handy to have someone who shares so many things in common like being in med school, having a long distance relationship, and someone who loves smoothies just as much as I do! I just really hope we get our screen doors put in soon so I can open my large patio door and let an even bigger breeze come in!

All I can say is that this busy semester will help the time pass until Nicholas comes to visit in March and when I go home in April to do more wedding planning (not that I won't be doing that while I am down here!)


Until the end of this week
