What I Have Been Doing The Past 9 Days That Has Kept Me Away From My Blog: [NOTE: this blog post was written 3 weeks ago...]
  • Cardiology final exam on Monday - scored a B for the class! Woohoo! (It is notoriouly the hardest course of the year)
  • We hosted a wine and cheese party here on Wednesday to celebrate the end of cardiovascular system - had about 20 friends over until the wee hours. Awesome time!
  • Started the Renal System on Tuesday afternoon, which is heavy on the acid-base chemistry aspect of kidney functioning. So, I have also been studying a lot. Eager to not get behind (which we always are), we started our group study sessions for this section yesterday afternoon. A study group on a Friday afternoon after a long week meant a 4-hour chips, beer, sangria and hors d'ouevres eating festival, followed by a 45-minute "let's take each others blood pressure" session, which lead to the realization we are all hypertensive, except Peri, which then lead to realization that we need to relax and laugh more or we will certainly die, so we spent the rest of the afternoon listening to the Jerky Boys, Lisa Lampanelli and Wanda Sykes. Effective.
  • Playing doctor and seeing patients - speaking of which, tune in from home to watch the Angels baseball game. I will be working there (as a student doctor) taking care of injured/sick fans, players, etc.
  • Last night, after the previously mentioned study session, I was at musical gig/party at Beth's. Pizza, beer, wine, hot tub, giant fire in the fire pit and live music. I'll say no more.
  • Acting in a video production my class is making for the current 1st year class - it's a tradition to make a "mockumentary" of the new kids at school.
  • This afternoon, I am heading to the LA County Fair with Deb, Karen, Pete and some friends.
  • Planning my trip ... to NYC! Yes, I am going back east (in a month) for a weekend - it will be "business" as I am going to a paleopathology conference. I'll talk more on this soon.
And now I must start studying! All this socializing is cutting into med school! ;) Posted by LA at October 20, 2006 09:58 AM
