It has been awhile since we have talked. I am writing to update you on my life. It has been a hectic few weeks. Since I last wrote I have successfully completed 6th quarter, I have taken Part I of National Boards, and spent a week at home for spring break. My spring break started by spending the weekend with my husband at Chateau Elan, a winery and resort northeast of Atlanta and only 2 hours from Sherman. We had a very nice couples massage followed up by a winery tour and dinner at their onsite pub. I was able to have lunch the next day with my best friend from undergrad as well as my Godson. The rest of my spring break was spent having some quality time with my daughters and doing my taxes.
Now I am back at Sherman and one week into 7th quarter. So what is new in 7th quarter? This is the first quarter since being at Sherman that I do not have one of the heavy hitter classes (no Anatomy with Dr. Wu or Neuroanatomy with Dr. Duke). However, several classes I do have are continuations from last quarter like: Physical Exam II, Lab Diagnosis II, and Ortho-Neuro II.
We are getting to the point where the cumulative nature of the program can be taxing. Classes build on each other and if you don’t learn a concept the first time (or if you just forgot the information) it can be challenging. I highly recommend anyone who is able to be a tutor sign up to be one. It really helps you to solidify concepts in your mind if you have to teach them to someone else, and will help keep the cobwebs off the information you have learned. I wish everyone the best of luck this quarter, and to all the Alumni, I am looking forward to seeing you at Lyceum!
