Today was an
exciting day: it was the first day of game called Assassins. Breakfast was a
bit hectic because everyone was worried of getting "killed". I
enjoyed breakfast though; we were served waffles.
After breakfast
we headed to class. During the first half of class, we were lectured on
neurology. I thought it was a interesting lecture because I am personally
interested in neurology. I was able to learn about the different structures and
functions in the brain. We then headed out to lunch.
When we came
back from lunch, Kat (one of our instructors) introduced us to PSA which stands
for Public Service Announcements. We talked about the different factors that
play into a PSA and what effect it can have on the audience. We watched short
video clips that focused on matters such as texting while driving or smoking.
The video clips all appealed to different emotions such as guilt, fear, anger,
or humor. This week we will be working on our own PSA project.
Afterwards we
had a couple of guest speakers. The first two speakers were fourth year medical
students who were completing dual degrees. One of the them had done a Masters
of Public Health and the other one earned a business degree. The next set of
speakers were also completing a dual degree. After completing two years of
medical school, they had started their PhD. After the guest speakers left, we
visited a lab where mice underwent testing.
My Arete class-
juggling- was harder than I expected. By the end of the day, I could barely
juggle with two balls. I am looking forward to improving my juggling skills.
After Arete, we had a little freetime. Then we had dinner with another proctor
group. We went to a restaurant called Chili's. I did not enjoy the walk to and
from the restaurant because it was raining. However, I am looking forward to
tomorrow: I will be going to the OR.
