Four things

Aside from the time I was sick, I've yet to have a legitimately bad day up here (knock on wood!). Most days are just regular days but some days are actually actively good days, if that makes sense. There were four things that made today a good day:

1. No immunology! While the material itself might be very interesting, the way it is arranged and presented...just don't do it justice, shall I say? Today might have been a very bad day because we had two scheduled hours of immunology but it was cancelled entirely at the last minute. Therefore instead of struggling through any immunology lecture, I was able to come home and study some physiology. Yay, producivity.

2. Gross pathology rounds! After a couple weeks of having cancelled gross path rounds, the first ones were finally today. The unfortuante part was being late. My anatomy group had to stay a little later than normal to skin our dog's other rear leg because the one we're supposed to be using is black and smelly and crusty. So we were told to see if the other leg was use-able - which it is! - which required skinning it and thus more time. But I did make it to gross path rounds and saw some interesting tissue presentations. I prefer entire necropsies myself, but it was still interesting. If I can remember what the diseases were called, I could look them up. I wonder if Google deals with phonetics?

3. Dr. Pack! One of the college's radiologists, Dr. Pack has been integrated into our anatomy lectures. She's from Louisiana and nothing makes me feel better/less homesick than hearing her accent and experiencing her personality. She reminds me of my southern family members and it's just delightful. Not to mention the woman is freaking hilarious.

4. Free food! I bought a bag of chips from the vending machine in the cafeteria and on the back was a sticker entitling me to all I can eat food at the dining hall. Not that I can eat that much, but maybe I'll hike my butt over there one day at lunch and stuff myself enough to hold over until breakfast.

So yeah. Good day :)
