So what you're saying is that all the Learning and Cognitive Psych classes I took in ugrad are actually going to help out?

SWEET! 🙂

I wonder sometimes if I'm going to fall in love with neurology because of my background. I doubt I'll like psych because I was never that in to the abnormal stuff.

psych the rotation was so different from psych the course. something about actually interviewing schizophrenics and bipolars really makes it stick. im telling you, i think i did so well in that rotation just because i was so freaking interested in it. def one of my favs this year but i went to med school to do put in chest tubes, read EKGs and shock people with paddles.... 😀

For me it was all about learning how people process information and how our brains work. That was the part I really loved. Also how our own bias affects how we view the world (which is probably why I was on track to end up in cross-cultural). I just find those patterns really fascinating.

Yes - though I was thinking about signing up for an Eastern Thought Phil class over the summer. I didn't this semester because I couldn't justify the expense. But now it's over the internet :idea:

I'm tutoring this afternoon for a few hours and again tommorrow night. But it's all Genetics which I don't need to prep for. Organic tutoring on the other hand... 😳

speaking of psych, I know someone that is trying to match into it (very late) ... I really just wonder how some people have the patience to deal with some of the issues. More power to them b/c I know I have problems dealing with my own issues, although self-medication might work 😉

blah, i had to be in the hospital this morning from 530-900 for pre-rounds and rounds but now i have the rest of the day off. 😀

best part of starting early is finishing early. though had it been my choice, we would have rounded at like 2pm. :laugh:

My DVR list - Scrubs, 30 Rock, GA, ER, American Idol, House, Yummy Mummy. I think that's it. 😉

And Mush, I don't think most of America thinks Americal Idol is "done" yet or it wouldn't be the #1 show on TV. 😀 😉 I LOVE that show.

I LOVED psych (had a brief crisis of considering withdrawing from path and applying to psych - glad I didn't do that!) but HATED neuro.
