First week down

Its the end of the first week and its been pretty chill so far. They keep telling us that we don't really learn a whole lot of new information, we just take our existing knowledge and put it in a clinical setting with clinical reasoning, so with any luck this year wont be so bad! Here's hoping! Now that we're all back it really feels like we never left so its really just back in the swing of things. We're in a lecture theatre that doesn't totally suck, except the AC is on all the time so its freezing but at least its better than the one from last year. We appear to have a schedule that is correct, only 5 emails of wrong ones later, so that seems promising! Friday we had a day of role playing which was actually pretty fun, as lots of our comm stuff can sometimes feel a little tedious. First we had a crashing dog that we had to get from a car into the hospital with a crazy owner yelling at us, and then later we had to rescue unlucky the horse from a ditch, which was surprisingly fun. Then I had my first rugby practice! Yes, I'm playing rugby this year, so we'll see how that goes, fingers crossed for no catastrophes! Tonight a bunch of our friends came over and we played some games and had a bunch of crazy good food! It was fun to all hang out, since I suspect that, for fear of failing like previous years, once this year really gets started in earnest we wont be seeing much of each other. Other than that not much happening really, its going to get pretty boring on this blog pretty soon after such a fun summer, but thats school!

A picture of our smorgasbord! And that wasn't even all of it in the end.
