Whoo, only 4 more days of class and 2 weeks of finals until the end of second year!

During our (delightful) 5 hours of class every afternoon, we get brief 10 minute breaks between (enthralling) lectures. During these breaks the small number of us who are actually still coming to class at this time of year have started standing outside in the sun during our breaks if it happens to be sunny outside. Today while standing outside for our typical 8 and a half minutes, we realized that we only have four days of class and two weeks of finals between us and the end of the second year of medical school! Exciting times! Of course, after that we have to immediately start studying for step 1, and after step 1 we almost immediately start our clinical rotations. However, despite the negativity, in a mere 2 weeks and 3 days the joy that is the dreary first and second year medical school classrooms is no longer to be ours!


To celebrate our final (tearful) goodbyes to the medical school classrooms. One of my classmates, Olga, took some pictures of our typical classroom scene. Good memories.

People chatting and setting up their computers before class starts.

Our row. This is Jessica, me, and Sarah.

The mac laptop rainbow seen during class. black, pink, white. I think there might even be a green one somewhere.

Here are more people setting up their laptops and checking their email before class starts. Daniel from my mentoring group is on the left and Ryan is on the right.

This is one of my classmates illustrating the typical medical school library study toolkit: 1) big desk 2) not so comfy chair, 3) coffee, 4) laptop with a power source, 5) a book/syllabus, 6) highlighters, 7) pencils/pens, 8) food or something of an edible nature that resembles food.
