New Space

I decided this new path deserved a new blog. Today was much better than yesterday. I was forced to use Excel yesterday, and that was a problem, since I have very diligently avoided learning how to use it. I honestly believe one could get a degree in Excel. Anyway, after three frustrating hours I found someone to help me. Voila! All I had to do was some algebra - that I can do.

I love medical school - so far. I've watched the second year students this week; they have finals. They are a tired and ratty-looking bunch of people right now.

Next week is my first exam - biochemistry. I'm nervous, because biochemistry was a disaster for me during undergrad, and it seems far too easy right now. Well, my first biochemistry teacher was a roaring drunk. Unfortunately I am being completely honest. His tests rarely matched what was taught. However, that lousy training made me ever-so-grateful for my current wonderful professors. I have one professor who could explain the derivation of the Michalis-Menten equation to a six year old.

After class today I worked out. I'm trying to get my fighter body back. We'll see how that goes when things get tough.

And now I bask in the glory that is medical school. For right now it is manageable and quite enjoyable. Today we started learning about the anatomy of the back. That, my friends, is some seriously cool stuff.
