The Beginning of the End

This week marks my first week in medical school. :-) It also marks the beginning of the end of my life as I know it. I am taking two courses this semester but they are really more like four... physiology, and human morphology ( which consists of anatomy, histology and embryology) I will be in class more or less everyday from 9 or 11 until 4 or 6 depending on the day. Oh ya and I am trying to learn a new language as well. :-P I think I lost my mind. Good thing I got to see a good amount of the city before hand during my adjustment week.

Last week, as well as going forward, everyone has been so welcoming and nice. I met the other foreign students who all showed me the ropes of Milano. As I transferred into the second year all of my classmates have already been here a year. This included our local Irish pub down the street, Murphy's. We have gone to a few aperitivos which are Milan's version of happy hour.... so much better. You pay for drinks and they feed you all of this amazing food. I also went to see the Picasso exhibit, which was super amazing and cool all at the same time. I also thanks to Mike and Lina's handy work got all my errands done down at the Duomo. :-)

It's train time

                               My new classmates have been nothing but nice and wonderful at showing me where stuff is and making me feel welcome. That being said sometimes it would be nice to be able to call my friends back home and not realize it is 3 am there time :-(. For sure it has been a adjustment but all things considered I think it is going very well.
