Things are picking up steam quickly. Yesterday we had another lecture about how the immune system recognizes foreign antigens, followed by a lecture over how inflammation occurs, as well as how hypersensitivity (allergic reaction) occurs. This was followed by the first part of a 2-part lecture on genetic diseases, which was very interesting. This morning we had a pediatrics lecture on health maintenance issues for infants and preschool children. This was followed by 3 intense and tedious lectures over T-cells and regulation of the immune system... the general idea is pretty interesting, but the level of detail they go into is painfully boring.
In the afternoon we had our first humanities session, which is much different this time around. Basically there are 10 or so different "selectives" that we can pick from, and we will be going to this class every week until we switch to our next selective after a few weeks. The selective I got into first is "Media, Health, and Medicine", which is taught by a fellow named "Dr. X". He is quite a character, and I have a feeling that it is going to be infinitely more entertaining than the terrible humanities group sessions we had last semester.
