A *test* day in the life of a med student

 Fell asleep around 4 am last night...got up at 6 am to do some last minute prep for a my 8 am exam.  Potential for nap in about 4 hours!  Just gotta.....


=)

Test started and as expected, there was 3 questions on the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers!  Now, I know that's probably not really interesting to you unless you've had stomach ulcers, but I took this picture in class when they gave the lecture on the bacteria and I figured if I don't share it here, no one will ever see it.  Sad, right?  Whatever, I'm a nerd.  I admit it.  Anyway, the yellow things in the picture are the bacteria.  Everything else is your stomach lining. Medical art is pretty cool. =)


After the exam, I tried to convince my roommate that he needed a puppy.  Yes, I used the word need.  I don't think he's actually gonna get one, but I somehow managed to get him into the pet store!  They didn't have puppies to play with today, but they DID have this bunny.  I loved it and probably would've tried to convince my roommate that we needed this too, but (a) he was too busy getting bit by a ferret and (b) I saw little poop balls and all cute points were then null and void.


After the pet store expedition, we had to go back to class.  Our lecture was on ethics and religion in medicine.  We had 5 guest speakers: a buddhist, a hindu, a rabbi, a priest, and a molana.  It sounds like the start of a bad joke, huh?  It was a little interesting, but mostly I wasn't paying attention bc (a) I never got my nap, (b) a student in my class began to get philosophical about the uselessness of hope and I was sure if I listened I'd get gas, and (c) the following text message conversation happened with someone from an unknown number:

Unknown: You are the dumbest person in the entire free world.
Me: Likely.  Who is this?
Unknown:  Sorry that message was meant for Classmate's first name dumbass Classmate's last name.
Me:  No problem.  That's fair.  Still.  Who is this?
Unknown: His sister in law.

 ...That is all I have to say on the matter.

THEN, my baby sister took me to a yummy and fun dinner which provided me the strength I needed to....study and clean my room.  It just sparkles, doesn't it?

Next test is Friday.  I'm hoping it's another day like today.
