Today started off like most other days, when I woke up from
Jen's apartment. I had class at nine o'clock this morning actually the first
required classes at nine o'clock this morning, the first required class today
eight o'clock in the morning was not required so I did not go. When I went to
class in the morning, I went straight into the microbiology lab and looked at
specimens on petri dishes. Was fairly easy I was paired up with Sarah, Mary,
and Mike. It wasn't for greater anything like that, so I wasn't worried, but
was still very fun to look at all the specimens; it reminded me of the lab we
had at UCF’s microbiology lab.
After this we worked on our presentation for tomorrow which
was going to be on vibrio cholera. We
worked on it together as a group but I felt like I was very tired so I could
not contribute much. It then went on to the next lecture which was not required
but reminded me of what this class expected us to know. I was in the class
pretty worried but at the same time pretty helpful I knew that I could get to
where I needed to get to because this is, after all, my major. So I set out a
list of goals for today, and I expect to follow them. We then had class at the
nursing students from three o'clock to four o'clock where we had a social
working teacher go over a case of a family who lived in one of the cities were
reported to have our neighborhood health program. I never had to work on this
about a couple days before it considered a giant waste of time, but now that I
see us medical students working together with the nursing students as well as a
Masters of social work professor, I feel like this actually was kind of
worthwhile because with our combined efforts we can help families in our
neighborhood and make a huge impact in our community.
I guess this goes back to the whole idea of my dream
changing the world in one way or another for good or bad. Although helping the
community is not something I really had in mind, it definitely is a good place
to start. If I'm going to find ways to change the world through greater means,
I may as well learn how to change the world of some people on a smaller scale.
After this whole class with the interprofessional
development, I quickly went home and changed into my suits as well put on my
new FIU pin so that I can be properly dressed to meet one of the supreme court
justices of the United States, Mr. Solito. I was there from five o'clock to
about eight o'clock. From five o'clock to about 630, the Supreme Court justice
along with two other state-level Supreme Court justices presided over a mood's
trial set up by the competitors at the FIU college of law. It is very
interesting to see the judicial process or even to see how these law students
came in and try to justify their arguments over case where the
constitutionality of placing a GPS device on a person's car off affected or
violated the fourth amendment or six amendment, I can't remember. Either way,
the Supreme Court justice at the gathering world the food was after the moot
trial, released the name of the winning competitor, to which the winner was
very emotional and received his prize with pride and happiness. I invited
Jennifer and common over to the reception own order to get free food. Jennifer
came and was very happy to come, Kamen did not however, he went to the gym
instead.
Non-home and it's about its nine o'clock spent about an hour
trying to get this dragon thing to work. I had abuses in this this is the
easier than typing. I guess it just takes some getting used to, maybe Dragon
used to learn how my voice sounds, or maybe I'm just being too impatient.
Either way I believe this is still a very useful tool, maybe with these journal
entries, I can finally get around to using it very efficiently and someday
writing journal entries like it's nobody's business.
Until then, Anna goes to Jennifer's house now and watch the
videos that are required for tomorrow's quiz. I hope to also at least finish
half a my goal today, today was a very busy day but I cannot let that get in
the way of my goals any longer. Tomorrow morning I have a presentation to do,
it is on vibrio cholera as I said before at the beginning of this journal
entry. Our supervising professor cents on e-mail with a revised presentation, and
it looks like we still have some work to do. I'll be assisting my fellow
classmates in fixing this presentation, and practicing with them in the morning
so I do not have to worry about presenting the second presentation in the
future. I also have to remember to move my Jackson North Hospital rotation for
the ER from tomorrow to next week. There's many things to do every day,
sometimes it can be overwhelming. But in the end it's all worth it; we are all
given a job and with that job comes a lots of responsibility.
