The Heat is On

This week has been a prelude to what I suspect people refer to as August in HOTlanta! It's humid at 6am, its humid right now at 9:39 pm, its humid in my 64 degree classroom. My hair is wavy despite the straight iron I take to it AT LEAST 3 times a day. But who am I to complain, I grew up in the dry 100 degree Fresno heat. It is really not that terrible, but I'll confirm/deny that statement within the next month. 

Other than the weather, school is much MUCH better this quarter! I am in cadaver lab again, this time looking at visceral structures. I must say, it is pretty darn stinkin cool to hold a human heart or lung in your hand! I have seen cases of melanoma, tumors, emphysema, and goiters amongst other things. It is pretty fascinating, but I must admit it is sometimes a little weird still. 

I have begun going to clubs and getting my hands on more and more people. I feel like the meat and potatoes are just around the quarter. It is crazy for me to think that in three years I will be done with this program, mostly because I can't believe I've been here for seven months!

I miss the west, but I love the south. I learn something new everyday about it's history and culture. It is pretty cool!

 

Summer Break

I finished finals, once again unscathed. Somehow finals week seems so calm compared to the rest of the quarter, even though it contains the most stress. It has been a great three week break, lots of good times & great changes!!!

I'll catch ya'll up on my life: 

• Friday Night of Finals week: A group of us went to a Braves v. Mariners game (Mariners won!!!) of course I not so secretly cheered for Ichiro with my cute new Braves hat!
