Medical School Week One: They Haven't Kicked Me Out Yet

So far, so good. Classes are going reasonably well. I enjoy pathology quite a bit and I think Intro to Clinical Medicine II will be a very helpful class. Neuroscience has me somewhat concerned after the wet-lab hell that we suffered through Thursday. Honestly, neuro will most likely be the hardest course for me. There is a lot of volume that we have to internalize.
Neuroscience by you.

Pathology looks very straight-forward and practical. The course director is a pretty cool guy that has been very honest and doesn't give us a lot of extraneous material.

I do have a bit of an issue with the media department's new lecture streaming system. The old system was more time intensive for the media people, but we never had issues with watching lectures. The new silverlight system has no speed control for Mac computers and PCs have 0.5x, 1x, and 2x only. 2x is too fast. 1x is painfully slow. The media department no longer returns my emails.... and I was nice too! To them, I dedicate the following demotivators:

Space and Time by you.

lazy media department by you.

So here I sit on a wild, crazy Saturday night after reviewing a week of lecture in 1 day.... drooling......

You're In The Army Now

Well kids, it's official. I am now 2nd Lieutenant Ben Weger United States Army Medical Corps. I took my oath and got my commission today. I am very excited to serve in the United States Army and I think that there is a lot that I can give and a lot that I can receive from this experience. I am participating in the HPSP program (I am going to dedicate a page to the program in the very near future). I know that there are going to be a lot of people scratching their heads on this one, but I believe that his will be a great experience. My wife and son were with me when I swore in and Nick got lots of army swag. Pics will be posted tomorrow.
