Learning to Forget

It's that time folks. As of 4:15pm Friday afternoon, I finished Unit 2 of my first semester of medical school. The only thing to learn this weekend is how to forget about school and relax. First, let's go over some logistics of schoolness. The two main exams of the day were Anatomy and Cell Biology. I managed to get a 91.5% on the Cell Biology test (90% written, 93% practical). I felt good about that performance since I don't really care about cell bio. Although the average for the written portion was an 88%, and I was hoping to do a little better than that. Compared to cell bio, Anatomy for me is a much bigger deal. Since we're pass fail now, none of these grades really matter, but my anatomy scores are a matter of pride. Last exam, Dr. Williams told me that I scored the second highest in the class by getting a 96 overall (99% was the highest). She followed that up by saying, "You know what that means Frank, you gotta be #1 next time." Well I rose to the challenge and succeeded. On the 140 question exam, I missed 2 answers total, giving me a 98.7%. Based on the class histogram, I was the highest score by 3%, meaning that the person who scored the second highest missed at least 3x as many questions as me. It will be interesting to talk to Dr. Williams on Tuesday to see what she says. I think it has something to do with the lucky test mustaches we drew on.


I decided to go with the curly French kind, haha.



Nick, John and I decided to rest at the tables outside between testing sessions.

Given all that hard work, I earned some nice R&R this weekend. After the exam, we went to Wildflower for the pool party and had some beers to chill out and relax. Here are a couple of pictures.


There ended up being a lot of MS1s there.


Dan was wondering why I was taking pictures, so I told him to pose for the camera. This is the best I got out of him.


We even got Monica to come out. Here she is with Sang, Ivan, and her friend from undergrad.



A bunch of people ended going into the hot tub.


Above is Sheylan, Kanita, Nick, and Anna.

We slowly got more people at the hot tub. Steve (white shirt), Kim (jeans), and Keisen (blue polo) joined us.


Elissa and Marcos were there too. They might be my favorite people ever.


As you can see from the picture above, they are clearly awesome.

After the pool party, I went with Keisen to his and Steven's apartment. Then most of the MS1s reconvened on Sharab night club downtown. Here's Steven once we got to Sharab. He's clearly ready to dance.


I decided to take a picture of my downtown buddies since we went through the joy of riding the later gator together.


After this point in the night, people started to drink and dance and all of the CoM was getting down and dirty. Hopefully, tonight will be equally epic.
