Snow/Sleet = NO FUN...

This past weekend was the nicest it has been in a while. Nothing but blue skies with the occasional cloud and about 45 degrees outside, which wasn't bad if you were in the sun. This past weekend was not too exciting, mostly stayed indoors and studied for exams that are coming up in 5 weeks. I finished Endocrinology and Urinary systems a couple of days ago and have now moved onto Neurology... Still have a lot to go over yet. It seems like so much is being thrown at us all at once. We are doing Reproduction right now and have been going through a lot of histology this past week. I know exams aren't going to be easy on this section, but I am actually more interested in this stuff than I was with Immunology/Parasitology/Virology. The nervous system is absolutely amazing and I am doing a report on Hydrocephalus, which is very interesting to research. I am having a lot of fun reading about it. Now I have to pick another clinical disease and I think I will be doing Hypothyroidism. I cycled to school this morning in the snow (what was I thinking!). Probably the most miserable I have ever been going to school. It was snowing and I had to cycle up hill against the wind with snow blowing in my face. If it is doing that tomorrow, I may end up wearing my ski goggles! My hands were absolutely frozen today on the way to lecture.

The lectures today were all in different buildings. The first two lectures were at a building far away from the usual building. The third lecture was in a building slightly down the road from the first building and the fourth lecture was in the usual building. Talk about musical classrooms! While in the first building, we noticed at how much the wind had picked up and it almost looked like a blizzard outside! The wind was so strong! We went outside after lecture and noticed that the snow had turned into sleet, which is so much worse. About two hours later, you wouldn't have ever known if it had snowed outside since it all melted fairly fast with the rain. There was a group of us that was going to head to The Meadows (giant park my school) and have a snowball fight, but then the snow turned into sleet/rain and we cancelled. Would have been a lot of fun though.

Several reproduction lectures tomorrow and two metabolism lectures. Hopefully weather won't be absolutely horrible tomorrow morning. I will be uploading more pictures soon, so keep checking back for new pictures. Hope everyone is doing well!

Why must you cycle?? If it is that bad out, you need to take the city transportation like you were doing!
When is the nicer weather due in?
It sounds like you are studying the interesting subjects. It sure takes me down memory lane! If we were 2 peas, we would be in the same pod that is for sure. Keep your nose in the books. Your hard work will pay off soon. Nothing like earning a great grade for due diligence.
Love you!
Miss you,
