Last quarter flew by just like I expected it to! I made it through unscathed, and got a very comfortable grade, which makes me expect to be able to continue on in the program indefinitely (or at least until June 2009).
This quarter is starting up just as rapidly as the last. We just started our third week of class, the last week before a series of tests starts up. So far I've gotten a lot of my fun out. The first weekend a few friends and I went out to Entiat with my family. We went sledding and got bruised up, definitely ate and drank to our hearts content. Last weekend I went skiing with some girls from my class and a couple of second years. We had a complete ball and I really want to go again. Its too bad that we don't have another "free weekend" (that is, one without tests right after it) for about 3 weeks, but when one comes I"M THERE! Now we are looking to what will be a slough of really hard tests. I am in the midst of what everyone is telling us is "the hardest quarter of the program". We are taking Neuroscience, Functional and Clincal Anatomy, Diagnosis in Pathology, and then a couple of Seminar classes. The first four are definitely going to keep all of us busy, the seminars are going to give us enough busy work to drive all of us over the edge. This is where having a good balance of studies and play time becomes really important.
Notable moments from this quarter thusfar include:-Watching my professor saw a face in half (right down the middle)(the picture is of everyone's reactions to it... sorry, no visible gore here)
-Knowing almost everything for my Neuroscience class (YAY FOR MY MAJOR!!!)
-Becoming one of the "Social Secretaries" for my class (that means I get to plan all of the parties)
-Playing Ultimate in 6" of fresh snow
