We are back from spring break and I think that helped
everyone get ready for the rest of the semester! Yesterday we had an Intro to Disease
Mechanisms exam and it was on a lot of information. My biggest piece of advice for this class is
try to study in advance. With exams in
other classes it can be difficult to study for this class every day, but if at
all possible, make the time! It is too
much information to learn just a few days before the test! I had my second gross room rotation yesterday
too! I was much more comfortable and I
felt like I knew what I was doing. I did
a few breast core biopsies, a prostate core case, a gallbladder, an appendix,
and a bunch of GI biopsies! Although the
biopsies are not complex specimens, it is really nice to get some repetition in
and practice dictating. I was excited to
do the gallbladder and appendix because we have an Anatomical Techniques test
on Monday and we have to know how to dictate these specimens so it was some
good practice!
We found
out that Michelle loves college basketball so when we came back from break, we
had an extra assignment. Everyone in the
class had to fill out a bracket for the NCAA tournament and turn them in. The winner receives a gift card to Kroger
(the grocery store in the area). What
broke grad student doesn’t want free groceries?!? Unfortunately, I do not think I am going to
win. I only have one team in the final
four left as of this morning and they haven’t played their game this round so
we will see! This year already has a bunch of upsets! Who knows what will happen with the rest of
the tournament!
