Update on Life....

Hey everyone...

       So since last post there was this giant thing called Mini 1...I know sounds small but its what they call our big exams at the end of each module. So Monday was Mini 1 that covered everything and I mean everything Neuro/Psychology/ and Endocrinology related! I of course had my nose in the books of the past 6 weeks of material...I ended up doing well on the mini which I was super excited for! So with that behind me I got to take my very much needed day off! I got a hot stone massage (I know rough life you say) and hung out with friends, had some nice long skype sessions and got to be a bum for a bit all in all pretty successful. But since mini on Monday it is back to the books with a new module...Gastrointestinal, and Renal and so far this week its been all about...well #2 (for all you faint at heart). The next mini is on Halloween so its not too far away which means back to those books! It also means I get to celebrate my day off on Halloween which should be fun.

Since my last blog I also participated in a REMA advanced intubation event. That I got to practice my intubation skill on Sim-man. I was able to intubate him on my first try and I got lungs not belly so that is a plus! This week I also had my very last simulation on Sim-man for school. It was an alcoholic case with esophageal varices who was bleeding out and who ended up going into hypovolemic shock...we ran a good case, and once again saved our robot!

Great news...I booked what will hopefully be my last flight from Dominica to CT for December 17th! Yay the finish line for the island has a date now! In other news I am def. missing Fall in CT, but have put my sister Brittany on a mission of taking pictures of leaves and foliage for me :-) even so the more the merrier so send some pretty fall pictures my way! I miss you all terribly!

Till next time....
