Two weeks done

I'm two weeks into medical school, and I'm glad that I had a chance to consider what it would be like. Because I knew what to expect (a lot of material, much detail, and a lot of talented fellow students) the long hours pass much more quickly. It's a lot of reading (our school uses textbooks and many other resources, including lectures, of course). Just keeping up with the material and memorization is timeconsuming. On the plus side, I believe I'm learning as much as possible and thus far, I'm finding the experience energizing. Some of the students have had much of this material and are having a great time. Others, like me, that aren't recent graduates with a Biology or Biochemistry degree are finding ourselves memorizing a lot of anatomy and other material.
