I have completed nearly all (save 1) of my makeup exams, including Fundamentals of Clinical Medicine (FCM), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Pathology, Pharmacology, and Behavioral Sciences. On Monday I will take my Genetics final exam (gulp!). I do want you to check out and give feedback on the new blog design. I liked the previous one (all flowers and girlishness) but I felt all the design detracted away from the whole point of this site: my blog posts. One thing I do have to mention, is how grateful I am for the tremendous support that has enveloped me after the tragic loss of my brother earlier this month. Friends, colleagues, mentors, relatives: all have offered support, condolences, sage advice, a listening ear, open arms, study tips, and encouragement during these past, very difficult weeks.
