My mind feels like my title. Just like…ughhhhhh….blarghh….ughhhhh….memorize, memorize….drooool.
So. Much. Memorization.
It almost hurts.
I’ve decided to emerge from my med school black hole (yes, contrary to the previous post, I think it does really exist) to tell you all that I just don’t think much blogging is going to go down during my gross anatomy block.
This is the block in med school that’s the most time intensive apparently. We sit in lecture 4-8 hours a day, and when we’re not in lecture learning a bajillion hard to pronounce arteries/veins/nerves/bony landmarks/dermatomes, we’re dissecting a cadaver.
AKA. Digging my hands in body parts and formaldehyde for hours at a wack.
AKA. Only one of the most fascinating things I’ve ever done.
AKA. Also one of the most malodorous things I’ve ever done.
In other words, between memorizing an endless onslaught of muscles, arteries, and veins, and dealing with my new formaledhyde-esque fragrance, something’s gotta give….and that something, unfortunately, is blogging.
Sorry blog.
Hopefully, I’ll get back to it once the anatomy block is done in October. Till then, I’m hoping to pop in every so often to say hello and to reassure everyone that I’m maintaining some semblance of sanity amidst the truly immense workload in medical school. I wish I could in part something more profound because I feel like I’ve been whacked over the head by SO MUCH NEWNESS and SO MUCH INFORMATION, it could fill a book. Honestly, it’s been overwhelming in so many different ways…my brain can barely handle it, which is probably why this blog post is becoming nonsensical.
Regardless, I just wanted to pop in to say I’m surviving, I’m working hard as all get out, and I’m loving every second of it.

Yay! I’m glad to hear you are surviving! Maybe a celebratory “Lindsay has survived Gross Anatomy” dinner and a movie night will be in order. Sounds like your September is pretty full already!
I can’t even imagine how overloaded your brain must feel right now! In other words, your blogging absence is excused. Just don’t get desperate and start posting cadaver pictures, okay? And I’ll continue to squeal in excitement every time you pop up on my Google Reader.
Glad to hear you are alive ! I’m so glad you can feel both parts overwhelmed and loving it. Can’t wait to hear about your new life when you get a chance to come up for air! Sending lots of love your way.
