YIKES! My Fall Medical School Class Schedule!

One of the first things I did when I returned to internet access was log into the "MyUW" webpage to see if there was any important med school related information I needed to take care of before flying back to the States. A truly terrifying sight greeted my eyes: My class schedule for fall quarter. It was such traumatic experience that I wanted to share it with you all. My schedule is 31 quarter credits. The classes I will be taking are are:

2) HUBIO 511 Gross Anatomy and Embryology (13 credits)
"Structural organization of human body at the macroscopic level to provide a foundation for physical examination and functional assessment of the human organism.
