After a long night of studying, I was finally in bed. I was just about asleep when I thought that I felt something on my foot. I figured it was nothing until I felt I on my leg, at which point, I threw the covers off (my sheets are a light color) and noticed a quarter black moving something in my bed. I FLEW out of bed and turned the light on...sure enough it was a bug. I tried to be brave. I grabbed the raid, but it ran back under the covers. I just couldn’t bring myself to deal with the insect, as I feared that he would have many, many friends in the covers with him. So, I called upon my insect killing roommate. With the precision of a cardiac surgeon, she threw the covers off the bed, grabbed the insect in a paper towel and squashed him. It took me so long to fall back asleep. Since the event, every time I get tickled, I go into a panic and search for an insect. I have my flashlight within arm’s length so that when I fall asleep if I feel a tickled I can investigate quickly. Having a bug crawl on me in bed was one of my fears about moving to Miami. I guess I was just lucky to have it come true!
Well, cardiac has started to grow on me a little, but it is definitely not my favorite. We started pulmonary and it is MUCH more intuitive for me. I guess all of those asthma attacks and upper respiratory infections are coming in handy. When talking about the pressure in the lungs and how it changes, I can recall when my pressures have been out of whack! There is an Arabic proverb that says, “No man is a good physician who has never been sick.” I think I’m ready for medicine!
I LOVE my immunology class. It really is my favorite. It is so interesting and for some reason comes easier to me than anything else. The nomenclature can be a bit confusing because it is all so similar, but once you get that straight, it just makes sense. I had a feeling that it would be my favorite, but I’m a little surprised how much I love it. When I have to study it doesn’t even feel like work. It is great!
