Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but my classes are giving me more work than ever before. I would like to highlight some topics that were on my exams last Monday...We just finished up learning about Diabetes Mellitus Type I and Type II, steroid synthesis, fatty acid metabolism, the innate an adaptive immune response, B and T Cell Development, action potentials in neurons, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and in a pacemaker to name a few. I went on a 2 tank dive this past weeekend- at Charlie's Shoal and the French Reef. Enjoy!

Now that I have completed and passed my Biostatistics course, I am studying for 2 quizzes this week, one in Physiology and the other in Immunology. On top of that, I have to study 7 weeks worth of information for my block exams on Monday...just another week as a med student!
