Week 6

So Week 6 officially over, not to mention, D and I have been living here for 2 months now. Hard to believe. So this week has been packed as far as school is concerned.  Midterms are all of week 8, so this coming week is our last week of lectures. Week 7 is actually a light week, not much new material, and several review lectures, which will be nice. The only problem is that to have a light week next week, we have had a crazy hard one this week. It is getting very intense, as we are counting down the study hours left before midterms! Midterms are almost 50% of the grade. Also finals are not cumulative, so it is like have a final for the first half of the term. It is really crazy when I think of how my "normal" has changed these two months. It is perfectly normal to look outside and see goats in the back yard, however due to the drought, there is not much grass for them to eat. Also normal to smell burning garbage on Saturday, because this is typically when people burn there trash. Still not really used to that smell! Also normal for me to start studying, realize that I am very hungry, look at the clock and am shocked to see that I have been studying for 4 hours. Hopefully having learned something in that time. Also strange to recognize people here. When we first got here, we obviously did not know anyone, but now, we see people we know at the grocery, and even just walking down the street. Which does make you feel like you are not in such a strange place. Oh, and my hair is growing.

Ok, now I am just having too much fun with the camera on my computer. This is what happens to your brain on med school! So as a study break this weekend, D and I caught up on Survivor. It was wonderful, we downloaded them, and we even had popcorn. It was cooked on the stove but still. What a treat! I will probably have to wait until after midterm to watch anymore, but good season so far. Well, back to studying, talk to ya in March.
