As carnival comes to a close, all I can say is wow. Mardi
Gras has been without a doubt one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences
I have ever had. Seeing old friends from Emory and spending time with all my
new friends here, I felt like I was able to do it all. That being said, I may
have to go into hibernation for a while.
We have finally finished up Principles of Pharmacology and
Medical Pharmacology. Looking back, it seems like it was just yesterday that we
were learning about chemotherapeutic agents in the Neoplasia block. The vast
amount of knowledge I have accumulated is both striking and impressive. Now
begins the strenuous 15-day period of reviewing for the NBME Shelf Exam.
Working in Dr. Katakam’s lab has continued to be enjoyable
and demanding. Learning to think outside the box and use critical thinking for
creative problem solving has really challenged me to expand my horizons.
Writing my thesis has also been a difficult process, but I am excited and eager
to see the finished product in just a few more weeks. As a whole, this semester
has been off to a great start.
I have continued my volunteering with KIPP, which I am proud
and happy to be doing. I truly have enjoyed my time with the staff, and hope to
continue throughout the semester and next year.
