Day One in the Books

Well...day one is now behind us.  The day began this morning at 10 AM for orientation along with faculty and student introductions.  The orientation lasted about an hour and a half which was then followed by a lunch break until 1 PM.  A few of us, with the help of classmates who went to UT for undergrad, ventured to Rocket Hall to get are ID badges printed and then to the union for a Subway lunch.

After lunch the real fun began.  We received a one hour orientation to Gross Anatomy (one of two courses I'm taking this summer), and then we hit the ground running.  Our class was divided into two groups and then further subdivided into four smaller groups.  Four of the small groups began the lab working on the cadavers while the other four worked on the lab handout for the week.  My small group began with the cadavers, one cadaver per two small groups of four.  About halfway through the lab the cadaver and lab handout groups switched roles and worked until 6 PM.

At six things wrapped up and we headed back to our apartment.  If you want more details about the day contact me.  Three of our classmates in the program that live in the same apartment complex as us invited us over for dinner so we're headed over here shortly.  I apologize for how brief this entry was but I hope it was succinct and covered the main ideas.
