el fin!

round one: check!

i'm officially done with 1/4 of my didactic PA schooling... well, time-wise.  they definitely cram in a LOT more classes during the year.

anatomy was a lot of fun and i definitely realized how incredibly applicable and useful it is in any area of medicine, or even just in your personal life.  it's pretty amazing to me that i could point to any spot on anyone's body and say exactly what is (or should be) in there... and most likely i've also seen what it looks like too.

studying medicine, or really any science, is so intense.  everything is just so... PERFECT.  everything fits together exactly right and is shaped or formed in an exact way so as to complete it's purpose in the most efficient way possible.  amazing.

our last anatomy exam was monday.  the rest of this week we started gen med.  we learned about genetics, imaging, infectious diseases and a general intro to clinical medicine and had a test on it all today, which wasn't too bad.  they just wanted to give us a jump start on the fall.  it's supposed to be pretty bad.  i can't wait!  this past week was so interesting learning about all the different diseases and processes.  so i'm sure it will only get better.  it blows my mind that less than a year from now i'll have all the education, as far as classroom stuff, that i'm going to get before they're putting people's lives in my hands.  eek!

my roommate moved in last week also.  i think we'll work well together.  she's really easy-going, and she didn't hesitate to switch stuff around in the cupboards in the kitchen and the bathroom to fit her stuff in, which i like.  she just moved right in.  it's a little bit of an adjustment going from living alone to having a roommate again, but i'm sure it will be fine.  the hardest part is just having to remember to close the door when i go to the bathroom now.  ;P

i've got a week of nothing to rest up and get ready for the craziness in the fall.  it should be fun.  eric is coming on tuesday and staying for a week so we have lots of fun things planned.

hurray for a week of no worries!
