Half way through 1st year

Well, I'm half way through my first year and I'm having a good time. We just finished our Block 4 exams and it feels great. The immunology test was certainly the most challenging one, but that was no surprise. Classes keep me busy because there is a lot to learn. I spend time on research and my family. I'm surprised it all works out.

I know that at some point I'll be in the clinics and I'll see my family less, but right now I'm enjoying the flexibility of a first year medical student schedule at Baylor CM. I have found a few research projects that I'm keeping up with. They are only a few hours a week, but I enjoy them, and I'm surprised how often I'll know the answer to a test question because I studied that topic in my research.
