Week 1 recap

What a week! It was the first full week of classes, the previous week only having two school days. For the most part I am wondering when he will be totally busy to the point of not being able to even eat with us. This week, with the exception of yesterday, Richard had been able to play with Tilly and I every day at least an hour. Yesterday was different because he had an American Med. Student Association (AMSA) meeting at lunch, then went straight to volunteer at the community health clinic.

He has been learning the embryonic cycle of development in lecture, and dissecting the arm pit and back muscles in lab. They also had a lecture on breast cancer which was interesting to hear about because my mother just had her lumpectomy two weeks ago and is going through the radiation in the coming weeks. It's nice that Richard is able to tell me the meanings behind some of the things she is going through. Richard also saw a patient at the community health clinic that had already had a lumpectomy and had discovered another lump in her breast, so now he knows what to feel for, hello monthly breast exams =)

Today we went to BBQ with the 1st years and 2nd years. Tilly was loving 'walking' around meeting all her new friends. The two classes have a lot of great people, I'm so excited to get to know them better over the next four years! I am especially excited to watch the cutest med school cheerleaders you will ever meet grow over the next four years!
