Reflection on Spring Quarter 2009

The first quarter of post bacc is complete. It definitely went by faster than I thought and it's pretty amazing to think about some of the things that I've accomplished so far. Let's get the meat and potatoes stuff out of the way and start with the report card.

General Chemistry - B+
Dietetics - A
Public Health - A
Sociology - A

3.75 GPA

If you would have graded me with a B+ in chem back when I was 18, I would have danced around like this.

Though I'm not super bummed about not getting an A in chemistry, I am a little disappointed due to the fact that I did put in the hours for this class. The class average was a 59 and my 82 wasn't enough for the A. I suppose this is a lesson telling me that I need to refine my exam preparation methods a little bit more. That being said, I'm trying my best to not minimize my achievements. Going back to school after being out for 5 years and making the Dean's List is still pretty awesome.

Tomorrow I will be shadowing Dr. Mikami who is a GI surgeon at OSUMC. I am pretty excited about this opportunity and I hope this experience will allow me to gain some real world perspective on what life is like for a physician.
