Oh, Hello!

So, this is awkward. There will probably be a lot of awkward here. This is my first attempt at blogging.

I blame my friend Stephen, really. We were joking about how no one really knows what med school is like (unless you've been through it, in which case you should probably be writing this!) and decided that our lives as first years are comically tragic enough for people to read about. I hope what comes out of this is actually funny and enjoyable to read. Med school is so stinkin' hard, but there's a lot of room for laughter, even if it's at ourselves.

I don't really know what this is going to be yet. Probably a lot of big words, poop jokes (STILL FUNNY. ALWAYS FUNNY), anecdotes about how awkward I am working with real people, weird things lecturers say, whining about how much work I have to do, whining about grades, whining about how hard non-school life is, whining about my dog and my cat misbehaving and not letting me study... Just kidding on all the whining stuff. Probably. Maybe.

So, there's a lot in my life that isn't school. I have an amazing fiance, who just happens to be my best friend. He's hilarious, so you'll here more of the ridiculous stuff he says. I have a cat, Winston Cathill, who I think was actually a dignitary in a former life, and a dog, Junebug, who is the absolute worst dog ever. We're talking she could give Marley a run for his money. But I love my crazy little family and wouldn't change a thing.

I like nerdy TV, Jane Austen, knitting, and baking, so sometimes I might talk about that stuff. But I'm going to focus on the hilarity that is med school because, after all, this is....A MED SCHOOL BLOG.
