In Deep (that's what she said!)

School is tough right now. We are covering about 150 pages of in depth anatomy and physiology material every week. It's extremely challenging to stay on track. Today is Monday and we are just starting week 3 of the 6 week block called "Cardiovascular Pulmonary Block". It is really interesting, we are learning about the heart and lung system in depth for 6 weeks. I have been playing catch up with the material since last week. Almost caught up, and then more gets piled on!!

This past weekend was Martin Luther King weekend and the student group I am with at Rush called OCP held a medical fair, where we provided free medical screening for people in the Latino community. It was great! I took blood pressure for about 20 people.

The best part was the little kids that wanted to be doctors, we inspired them to want to get into medicine and it was neat having them listen to their hearts!
So as I am starting week 3, I truly am in DEEP. It hurts, but at the same time it is awesome. Medical school is a way of life. STUDY. EAT. WORK OUT. STUDY WHILE WORKING OUT. COFFEE BREAK. IPAD GAME BREAK. STUDY. GAME BREAK.
