I've had "Copacabaca" stuck in my head for days. I was staring pictures of gross (whole) sections of brains trying to learn the arteries and anatomy of the brain when I couldn't take it anymore. I was charging my iPod and listening to some classical when I took the bate, I bought Barry Manilow's "Copacabaca." I never realized how funny the song is since I've never really listened to the lyrics before. People probably think I'm nuts as I chuckle and quiz myself using Rohen's atlas (the most amazing anatomy atlas ever). While I was downloading songs, I picked up some Barry White and Duffy. I hope that my ONE Barry song doesn't make me a "Fanilow!"
I think school is going pretty well this semester. I feel a bit overwhelmed with Neuroscience and the amount of time it takes, but they are starting to move a bit more slowly. They introduced so much in the lectures, but they have started reviewing some of the information and going into more depth about certain areas. I'm glad that we are going to see these things again and are not expected to become experts just based upon the first few lectures (which is what many of us thought)!
Our first exam is four weeks away, and 40% of our physiology grade is on that exam (CRAZY!). That is so strange to me since we had more neuroscience lectures and neuroscience is only worth 18% on the first exam. I guess I know what I have to study: Physiology!!
I think my break is over, back to the abdominal organs!

I'm no longer an expatriate. I started my 3rd year of medical school in Miami and have finished my first set of medical boards, which I passed! I've been to the little island of Dominica and Miami. I completed my Family Medicine, OB/GYN and Internal Medicine clerkships while living in the beautiful city of Miami Beach, FL. I moved to New York City in the beginning of August 2011, passed my second set of boards and finished rotations in Astoria, Queens in December 2011. I have not been posting as much as I have been extremely busy. It is hard to believe that I finished medical school, landed a pediatrics residency and that I'm finally Nicole, M.D.
