anything but studying...

tonight, i am studying in our anatomy classroom--i figure learning the material in same environment that you're expected to demonstrate it on evaluations is probably worth something--and i was in my normal form, with headphones on, head down, pretty immersed in what i was doing... all of the sudden i hear this noise coming from behind me, and i swivel my head to catch a glimpse of whatever it is...

i don't see anything, and i look around the room and, still, no sign of anything to explain the ruckus, so i go back to my book, and forget about it briefly... a second later i stretch, and standing right in front of me is one of the staff--totally freaked me out...

nice guy, we had a bit of an amusing chat at my expense... he's cleaning up in here as i'm writing this. and he just introduced himself to me. Bruce, a very pleasant chap. I'm sure I'll be running into him again...

anyway, the week is almost over... it's at the point where it really has nothing to do with monday to friday, but rather the week is over once all of the quizzes, exams, and presentations cease, and you can take some time to clean up, catch up, sleep a bit more, hang out, or whatever you choose--emphasis on YOU choose--to do with your time... you can pay for it later...

so after tomorrow's presentation and quiz, I will have finished this weeks three big things, and I will take a long, long nap, watch a movie and just chill out... and possibly do some of the reading i need to catch up on... but that won't be a big deal, because of how casual it will be... my apartment may finally get that cleaning it's been beggin for all week...

also a big plus is that i smacked the quiz today in our histology-ish course, which is a nice turn around from last weeks slightly disappointing quiz... and today's quiz was a pretty significant portion of my grade, so even better... i'm prepping for tomorrow's stuff purely on the adrenal of that great performance, because i really think i would have crashed a couple hours ago if it weren't for my good cheer, ipod, and a lot of diet cokes...

sox pulled it off tonight after a disappointing drop with schilling's blown save yesterday, and, as a good friend pointed out, rivera blew a save and it was a full game swing in the east back to a 4.5 game lead for the sox... but that bullpen still gives me such butterflies...

I'm trying to schedule my first preceptorship this coming friday, so not a full three weeks into medical school, i'll be having my first contact with patients... I know, I'm just as shocked as you (don't worry about their well being... other professionals will be involved)

ok, that's it for now... i've got to get back to clinical correlations of the upper limb and pectoral region...

tomorrow, i'll have a bit to say about anatomy...

back to the books,

cheers,
