OK. And so the studying begins for me. This last week on the kidneys was definitely the hardest week for me. The complicated physiology definitely brought flashbacks from undergrad. I guess this is the first taste of what med school is really going to be about these next 2 years.
Yesterday, we had our anatomy lab dissection on the genital area. I realized what an idiot I was when I was looking for the spermatocord in the female prosection. Everyone was laughing at me, including myself. For the record, I still haven't changed my anatomy lab coat since day one. And this never bothered me until Kaila my colleague reached over and gave me a hug with her soiled gloves after she got a little flustered in explaining to me the female genitilia. I spent some time talking to Emily after anatomy about how being in med school is still so surreal to me. And for the first time, I saw lightning flashes sitting in the LSC, which was pretty cool since the building has an all-glass roof. In PBL, for the second time, my new PBL tutor told me that I had a great personality (I have no clue why since I don't speak excessively in PBL, except that when I have something important and unique to contribute). But I guess personality doesn't always have to conveyed through words. Maybe it's the way I sit or the different ways I can make my face look puzzled when I'm thinking. I absolutely have no idea.
Weatherwise, Vancouver has definitely gotten a lot more rainy this past week and a lot more windy too. In response to this and preparation for the colder weeks ahead, I bought a dark blue puffy jacket and a dark grey flannel wool pea coat. Both are great investments. The puffy jacket brings out the street style and the pea coat brings an air of sophistication with it. The puffy jacket definitely kept me warm while I was trying to keep my ice-cream from melting before handing it off to my friend today by standing outside (this is how you improvise when you don't have a freezer on hand).
