Long Road to Ruin

This weekend is officially going to suck. There's already so much material I don't even know what to focus on, and this week has just given us more. Monday morning we went over drug elimination and transformation in pharmacology. Once again, this was not bad. Pharm seems pretty easy. This was followed by an excruciating histo lecture on GI structures given by the astoundingly ineffective Dr. Chico. Not only are her lectures confusing and filled with dumb errors, but her notes are the most horribly organized I've seen since my undergrad botany class. Her note sets are like one really long essay, filled with minutiae and irrelevant details or unnecessary explanations. At least she rarely lectures. In the afternoon we looked at respiratory structures in histo lab, which was pretty straightforward. This morning we had our last pharmacology lecture over pharmacokinetics, which is basically what happens to all the drugs that enter our body. More easy stuff. This was followed by yet another Chico lecture on the glands associated with the GI tract. In the afternoon was our usual humanities meeting in which we talked about honesty with patients. Exciting.

Back to the grind, I have a lot left to wrap my head around and I have to get it all locked down by Monday. Thankfully we are done with lecture and only have labs the rest of the week.
