Happy Friday!
Good Morning, yesterday was the first day of Neuroscience! Although the information was dense, it is very interesting! Later that evening we celebrated a friends birthday, she turned 23! Today I have my first neuro physical exam skills session, it should be fun. Have a wonderful weekend!

Evening Breather
Greetings! Time continues to fly by, there are only 8 more weeks left of the semester! I took my exam today and passed; all glory to God! To celebrate my friend and I had dinner at this new Indian restaurant they opened near campus. For the first time I had chicken biryani and it was delicious! I will definitely be back in the near future for their butter chicken! Tomorrow morning we begin our next block....neuroscience! I'm looking forward to it! Enjoy the rest of your week!

Flatworm, Roundworm, Pinworm, Hookworm....
Who knew there were so many worms!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful week! My next exam is in a few days, at this point it's just constant repetition through all the lectures. Today was pretty productive but I'll be up for a couple of more hours. I'm looking forward to tomorrow....RCF is having Worship Night; the theme is "Revival", I will be singing. Have a great upcoming week :)

How to Stay Organized in Medical School
I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! I just finished up a small group learning session and now I am in the library for the rest of the day. Before I began studying I thought I would share my thoughts and tips on remaining organized in medical school.
Any medical school student will tell you that everyday time is of the essence! From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep you want to have a game plan in mind. Personally, I found that an hourly planner works best for me. It allows me to keep track of each lecture, clinical skill meetings, and important dates. If I did not have a planner I don't know what I would do!
When I get into the library I like coming up with a to-do list of things I want to accomplish and I write it down on a sticky note. This way I can be most efficient with my time. At the end of each week I like to reflect on what worked the best for me and what I can adjust to have a more productive upcoming week.
It's also important to pinpoint when your brain is most alert. Some people study better late at night, others study better early in the morning. I like getting a head start on the day and waking up early; I feel more prepared to take on the day.
But life happens. Things don't always go according to plan. I may not accomplish everything in one day but I'm okay with that. There's always tomorrow. The main thing is staying focused on your goal, working hard, and putting forth your best effort!
Happy Studies!
