I've been living in Philadelphia now for almost 3 months. Crazy how time flies!! Medical school is going well. The first block was anatomy, so of course I was so excited and loved every minute of it!! The block we're in now, is just a little bit less motivating and exciting for me, so I have been lagging a bit. I find myself studying all the time, even though I do think most of this stuff is boring right now. I came to the conclusion that studying in med school is like studying for finals....except every single day. It's alright though. We get to practice patient interaction and learn how to do a proper physical exam so it breaks up the monotony of studying biochem.
I have been finding lots of fun things to see and do while in Philly, although I haven't really had the time to get out and actually do them. I did finally make it to Reading Terminal which makes me very nostalgic for Seattle's famous Pike Place Market. I am looking forward to checking out some of these other markets and unique artsy things that Philly has to offer. Not to mention the MLB Playoffs. It has been pretty crazy the past couple of weeks since the Phillies have made it to the playoffs. Hopefully we make it to the World Series and win!! I would literally just have to walk out of my apartment to get to the parade route, which would be CRAZY!! :)
I haven't gotten to take very many trips, but I did get to go to Six Flags in Jersey in September. I also got to visit my family in New York. It was good to get out of Philly for a little while, I was getting a bit stir crazy being in the same place for to long.
Well that's all the time I have to update....but i'll update again soon!!
