Grenada and SGU

I created this blog to write about my life as a med student. I ended up posting nothing about my school life or life in Grenada. Here are few things I like to share.

First month in Grenada:

• for first 3 weeks, many trips to airport, many phone calls to airlines to get back my luggages. using the things I had and the one my mom brought with her was my life saver
• learnt to go to town (St. Georges') to buy fresh vegetables
  
• trying to figure out how to study Anatomy, Biochem, Histology and clinical skills as I only took some BioChem during my undergrad years
• ended up going to Gross Lab three times per week.
  
• found out mnemonics about Brachial Plexus from Dr. H way before other people learnt it.
  
• found out that Dr. H was the good and patient teacher.
• learnt to talk about Anatomy and found out that I learnt best by talking out loud
• found out that Dr. P (Histo prof.) like to talk about Cutie Pie and love Canaliculi
• found out that Dr. C doesn't have Marfan's syndrome even though he is tall
• learnt to use the word "appreciate" from the Histo tutors and professors
• had first lecture of Embryo at the end of August and fall in love with Embryo animation.
• found out that the calm Dr. R (Embryo) is like an indian yoda
• finally had the Unified and learnt that I didn't know much
  

Second month in Grenada:

• studied harder than before Unified as I did bad on Histo and Biochem
• the schedules are hetics
  
• found out that Clinical skill department was so unorganized
• making the list of what to do after midterm
  
• busy studying for the Midterm
• changed my advisor to Dr. H since the assigned advisor didn't answer my emails
  
• Midterms were crazy
• last midterm was biochem and I messed it up
• after midterm was great, went to Grand Anse beach and swam and had pizza
• had some get together with friends
  
• disappointed at the Housing Lottery and Housing office
• had to find the place to stay for next term
  

Third month in Grenada:

• reduced the number of visit to Anatomy lab from 3 to 2 or sometimes 1
• can't get a hold of Dr. Hage since every one is surrounding him
• can't catch up with the classes.
  
• end up watching movies (rent them from DVD link fromt the spice land mall)
  
• lost in most of the classes
• for Anatomy, I still wondering in the perineum and the lectures are in head and neck
• the head has so many information and can't seem to remember them
• all those nerves make me nut
• biochem quiz (10Qs) was not bad
• eating so well as my roommate and I cook a lot
• not studying enough

There it is. I am enjoying the sun and the water. I am having good meal. I am not studying that hard. Grenada is nice, only expensive to live here. I will miss this place. Meanwhile I have to go back to study for the finals which are coming in next 3 weeks.
