My day as a 1st yr. medical student

So, Friday I went to school with my roommates who are all first year medical school students. Yes this is very nerdy of me, but...I did have a good reason (or so I thought). My reasoning was, since I didn't have class on Friday, and when I don't have class on Friday I usually stay home, and don't study much because I get to easily distracted, that if I went to school, and sat in a class that I really didn't care about -that I would actually be more motivated to study. Especially since I would have nothing else to do, except study. So...I sat through 4 hrs. of medical school lectures on how personality factors influence illness behavior, thyroid and thyroid disorders, and male anatomy. Needless to say, I got A LOT of studying done, and i'm not being sarcastic. I finished 2 chapters of material which is the equivalent of 3 weeks of information in 4 hrs. So I was pretty proud of myself. The thyroid class was harder to pay attention in, because the professor lady had a really high pitched, penetrating sort of voice that was hard to tune out, so I used my faithful and trusty mp3 player to mask out her voice. Worked wonders.

Oh yes, well anyways. Since I was going to class, my roommates talked me into dressing up with them for sports day. So i was a jockey, Melissa was a tennis player, Natasa was a scuba diver, and Vlatka was a swimmer. Props to the guy from their class who came all decked out in his dirtbiking/racing gear. He even sat through the whole first half of the class with his helment and goggles on. Very impressive. The teacher for that first class paused after the break and said something like, since he got his degree in psychology he was allowed to ask questions so why was robo-man (the dirtbike dude) and aqua-girl (Natasa in her scuba stuff) in class all dressed up abnormally. So everyone laughed and explained that it was spirit week and that that class was sports day.
Anyways, it was a good day, got a lot accomplished, and studied, and etc. But I'm glad i'm not in medical school. Their classes are very boring and some of their professors are really hard to pay attention to for long periods of time, they just have that "teacher" voice that's really good at making students tired and putting them to sleep. Not that my professors are super better, just my classes are smaller so it's harder to fall asleep and not get called out/caught. Although I did fall asleep this week in one of my classes, so sad.
