Time for a change!

Coffee House was amazing. There 25 different performances and about 400 people showed up. Performances ranged from skits, traditional dance, music, singing, piano, bands, and a rapper. Coffee House just gets better every year!

Here is our class skit - Give it to me, MD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEQcUBvLUsA&feature=related

Have you ever been down and realized you need to snap out of it? We all have ups and downs in life. Sometimes you decide to make changes and most of the time you just get over it. HSF(Human Structure and Function) is an amazing course - since we doing what we all thought medical school will be - dissecting Cadavers. But HSF not only includes Anatomy, but Radiology, Physiology, Clinical Anatomy, Embryology, and Histology and all within a span of 18 weeks. We have to learn all about the human body (except head and neck) in 18 weeks! We have about an exam a week, and sometimes 2 in a week. It can be overwhelming and tiring at times.

Not doing as great I was hoping in the first few weeks of the course, lots of responsibility as MSEC President, not living the healthy lifestyle I desire, and more led me to not being the happiest person in the world. I was regretting why I chose medical school - is this what I really want in life and have I made the best choices?

After realizing that there was no real reason for being down, I realized, I cant be like this anymore. I needed to make adjustments in my life.

So for the last week or so, I am running, eating healthy, strictly studying at college, abiding by my study schedule, sleeping properly. Hence - I am a much happier person.

Sometimes, you start hating a place, your life, or everything, but just little changes can make a big difference!

After Cardiovascular Exam

Even though I was studying for the exam all weekend, I only slept for three hours last night. There was way too much information to get through in the short period of time. I guess this is the story of our lives.

Well, after the exam I felt extremely tired, but also relieved. No exam for a week! And my weekend is finally here. When everyones weekend is over, our short weekend begins. It is really only Sunday, when I can excuse my self from not studying. I can go out with friends and do some of my chores. Tonight we are going out for my friends birthday -- bowling and then to Garden, an Indian restaurant that we have been wanting to try for a long time. Supposedly it has amazing food!

Coffee House is this Thursday! A few of us in my class are going to be doing a skit along with a song that we have written relating to our medical school experience.
Coffee House has become one of the most popular events of the year. Its an outdoor talent show hosted by Cornell! Students from all EC universities are invited and Cornell faculty.
