I finished my second week of medical school this week, and I've been overwhelmed with the amount of content. As my classmates say, a whole one-hour lecture in medical school is literally an undergrad semester's worth of content. One thing I thought I could do to save time is watch lectures on 1.5-2x speed. I mean, a 30-minute video in 15 minutes ? Heck yeah ! I would try to watch Bootcamp Med's…
Yesterday was my first day of medical school. We had anatomy lab to kick off the school year and my labmates seemed nice enough. I skinned a cadaver and asked a lot of questions. After, we had a short lecture then I went home and took a nap since I was exhausted. When I woke up, it was already 8PM. Luckily, it was the summer time, so I still went on my run.

Why ? Those are two totally unrelated things. It's because her dialogue explaining the eyeball to Jaal has bothered me for the past…
Greetings, reader. This is my first blogpost. I figured I'd make it an introduction. I started this after a lovely lunch with the Literacy Volunteers training group at Yard House in Burlington. The ladies insisted that I start a blog when I told them I'd stay in touch regarding my career.
