A Day In The Life Of A Meharry Medical College Medical Student:
8AM-10AM: Biochemistry Small Groups on Glycogen Storage Disease & Mucopolysaccharidoses
10AM-NOON: Gross Anatomy Lecture on Face & Parotid Region
NOON-1:00PM: Biochemistry Lunch & Learn = Review of material in preparation for Block 1 Exam
*note, despite the name NO lunch is provided- it just takes up your lunch time!
1:00PM-6:00PM: Gross Anatomy Lab Dissections
these will consume your life if you let them!
7:00PM-9:00pm: Nap & Dinner (finally some food)
9:00PM-5:30AM: Block 1 Exam Preparation
this entails reading, reviewing, doing questions and yes you guessed it, back to the lab
Look closely at the clock. That says 5:17 AM
And no I didn't wake up early to get there.
I looked at my calendar and realized I haven't known the date for the last 3 weeks. Where does the time go?!?! Luckily block went well, and I've come to the conclusion that the couch is the best place to lay my head when I'm anticipating less than 5 hrs of sleep, you can't get too comfortable! Often times I'm forced to choose whether to shower and wash my hair, do questions, or rush to sleep. It's a tough decision, but I usually pick the ladder :( After block was over, I capitalized on restaurant week: eating out 5/7 days and this past weekend I went to see Boyz II Men along with the Nashville Symphony, what a beautiful show! I've also managed to join my classes' Intramural Softball team (M16 Gunners) and dye my hair bronze! Never a dull moment. Keep me in prayer people. Most of this med school stuff is for the birds and I'm afraid I may just be one!
Pre Boyz II Men and Post Carrot Top :)

Love the hair Color.....its called dare to be. The hours sound draining but I believe in you. You have been and will always be my rockstar......I will continue to pray that the angels watch over and guide you. They know you are not a quiter and you are the true change that you want the world to be. Hugs and more hugs. I will be at the finish line waiting because I have no doubt that you wont meet me there. I patiently wait for your next update. #God continue to watch over her.
