Med School Is Like Building a Snowman in a Blizzard!

Med school is VERY hard. We are all exhausted from going through the entire world of biochemistry and a quarter of the human body anatomically (dissecting as we go and learning radiology and embryology as well) in three weeks. It is humbling because the sheer volume of information keeps us perpetually behind with reading, not to mention practice--it's like building a snowman in the middle of a blizzard. Our first exam next Monday covers in depth about 20 chapters of molecular biology, cell funct… Continue

3 Minutes of Fame & Many Years of Study & Service Ahead

Greetings, Friends. As I was about to sit down and start homework for the upcoming 3rd week of medical school, I thought I would procrastinate a wee bit and give you all an update as to what is going on in our lives, since we've been undercover for so long. Needless to say, this has been a very busy year so far. Those 2007 Christmas cards are STILL in a box waiting for some TLC. I finally graduated with my degree in Biomedical Sciences. I was so happy to graduate at last--exactly 20 years from… Continue

My summer at home and abroad

I started out the summer just as I have many summers past, taking classes. I immersed myself in International Relations, a 4 week class essentially covering international politics. It was immensely interesting, and a great break from science classes. That class as well as the other class I am taking this summer will go toward my international development certification which I hope will boost me up on the list at my top medical school. The other class is Children and Youth in Global Context. I am… Continue

EMT Summer

I've been taking an EMT class all summer. The class is great and about half the people in it are pre-med or interested in some part of the health care field. The others want to go into fire and become paramedics. I've learned a lot and have had 4 clinicals in ERs around Denver, which have been pretty exciting. EMTs have a lot of responsibilities and can do a lot more in the ER than I thought. The main thing they can do is start IVs and draw blood. I have three weeks left and two ambulance rides.… Continue

What have I done so far??

Not much, really. I went back home for a visit and then came right back here to CSU for summer school. I have not done much except go to school until a few weeks ago when I started volunteering at an alpaca farm. I have never touch an animal like that before and it felt just like a carpet! Wow that is neat! I have learned a few things already like how to feed them, and how to halter and lead, and yes, even how to clean up the poop! I must say that I have not had quite an experience like that bef… Continue
