M1 year is over!

Last Friday, June 17th, was officially the last day of our first year of medical school! It cost me $68, 654.41 for this first year! OWCH. I my last block with a 70.77%! We needed a 70% to pass!! I can't believe its been a year since I started this blog sitting at work in the Corallville office last summer during a conference. I know more about the workings of the human body than I could have ever imagined! It was definitely a really challenging year.

Hardest I would say during the spring semester. It felt way harder. I feel like I've forgotten alot of what I've learned, which scares me! We have to take a huge exam at the beginning of next summer, with alot of what we learned this year on that exam. So, today is officially the first Monday of my summer! I'm starting my orthopedic research on Wednesday.

 It should be really fun. This summer should be EPIC! Ill be hanging out with Kevin alot, and also alot of my medical classmates that are sticking around and doing the same thing as me!! Today I went to music in Millenium Park. There were TONS of people, the whole park was filled up. I couldnt beleive it. It was cool. I went with some classmates. So hears to a great summer, and the end of my first of 4. Half of the M is complete in MD, very exciting

Memorial Day


Memorial Day I went to the beach in Chicago with my buddy Kevin, who is here this summer for an internship. He and his roommates and I went to the beach! It was incredible. Packed. Beautiful women everywhere. Perfect high 80s weather. We just chilled. It was a perfect Memorial Day. Now, tests next week and almost done being an M1. It's the CNS block. Brains and neurons. Its the hardest ever. Time to get back to the books. Almost summer. So nice out lately!
