Okay okay, a month into med school and I haven't written crap. I'll try to keep this up. I'm not planning on making these entries much more than a paragraph, otherwise I'm very likely to put off writing this forever. I'll just jump in where I currently am. I'm currently juggling an amazing array of classes: Medical Genetics, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Gross Anatomy/Embryology, and Foundations of Clinical Practice 1 (or FCP). Of my entire class load, only one of the courses isn't self explanatory. The beauty of FCP is that it is broken into two additional acronyms: CBL or Case Based Learning and PPD or Professional and Personal (I think) Development. To give you, the reader, the same treatment that med school has given me, I will never refer to these classes by their full names again. Ever. I have an antomy/embryo test this friday that I'm studying for right now. The embryology portion is fun to study for; since fetuses are so small they decided to print our notes off equally tiny, so you can't read any of the words on the powerpoint slides. Not a single picture looks even vaguely like a person, either - in fact, most of them look like day-to-day items. A fetus at 1 week looks like a mulberry (and I kid you not, the latin term for this phase is called just that, a morela). At 3 weeks the fetus has progressed to look like a mushroom, or, in a different view, a computer mouse.
Okay, I'm seriously going to study now. I'll see if I can do a better job of writing as I get into the swing of this blog crap.

ha!
Like the blog. Remember, just give one interesting story from the day or week or whatever. Maybe two, but it better be worth it. You have a much harder job then I did because EVERYONE wants to read about traveling through Europe and NO ONE wants to read about wordy medical stuff that makes it damn near impossible to understand.
Keep it simple. Keep it safe.
...however you DO want to throw in one sentence that uses as much medical jargon as you can muster in order to illustrate how much smarter you are then every non-medical person reading this.
The only problem with the medical jargon part is that I can refute any and all that is absolute gibberish. and I will :)
I actually understand a lot of medical jargon, so I am probably smarter than you, Jordan (-: Even though I may understand the jargon, I won't be able to tell you if the information is correct or not, so I will have to leave that to Naomi.
Just a hint: I can sound completely convincing when I believe something is right, but it works best if I'm the only one that would know it's correct, so try using this strategy to your advantage, Brandon!
I look forward to reading more!
