1ST WEEK OF MED SCHOOL!!!

and I am still alive.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, hello guys, I have just survived my first week in Med School!!! Its not that bad...yet. Since majority of the classes were orientations on subjects to be covered for the year, doctors introducing themselves, exam policies, grades, and, for some subjects, the first topic of the year.



A view of the room, and my classmates.

Inspiring. Dunno how I'll react when I start studying for Biochem and Anatomy (act like a crazy woman, I guess)

The school's guidance office oriented us on the different policies, and ran through the handbook. 

The week went by in a blur, and I cant really remember the order of subjects unless I look at my schedule, but basically, we had Biochemistry, Bioethics, Physiology, Anatomy, and Community Medicine.

All the doctor-lecturers were amazing, funny, and very accommodating. Even if classes were 3-4 hours long,  the doctors really had a way of making you pay attention and understand and not mind the long class hours. It also helps that the new classrooms are comfy, well ventilated (which is extremely important because of the heat outside of the building), and conducive for learning.  So from 8-12pm, one class, and from 1-5pm was another class. Usually, most of the professors don't use up the whole four hours, and dismiss us early.

A view from the back.

Classes are awesome, just kind of worried aboout Biochem, Aatomy and Physiology because I have nooooo background whatsoever. But, I just have to double time. 

As all the doctors advised, " You only need to do three things to survive Med School...one....study...two....study...three...study."

    1. Hi! How are you? :) in the class, there's 308 students, and they would be divided into two sections. :)

    1. There are usually no seating arrangements unless you have quizzes in anatomy-- you have to be seated alphabetically.
