Technically this is week 3 of the highly anticipated PA school but for all intents an purposes its week one - no offense genetics and biostats but a two week crash course was enough for my liking. Weeks 3-6 are the crash course in anatomy and physiology that seems to be laid out in a teach yourself kind of way. (wish me luck)
So week one - 4 hours of lecture and 1 1/2 hours of lab and I fear it's only the beginning. The best way I can describe this week is as though information has been vomited on me... I'm now covered in information: some of it important, most of it nonsense and some of it missing and it's up to me to go through and put the pieces together and decipher which is which. Sounds rather simple really but on a day like today for example and the power point is 207 slides and the lecture was 4 hours long with a chapter thats about 50 pages it gets rather taxing. So there's my rant for the day.
All in all Montana is great! The weather is perfect (so far, and I don't want to hear anything about how cold it gets in the winter). The people are super nice. Campus is absolutely gorgeous even if there's grass on the sidewalks. I'll be sure to post pictures in all my spare time. Walker is really enjoying his job and seems to get along with the people he's working with. We have had some time to go exploring. Last weekend we went to Riverfront park and walked around the lake, it was all we could do to keep from getting eaten alive but it sure was pretty. Our little house is only about 3/4 mile away from the yellowstone river which has trails that run all up and down it and makes for the perfect run! We still have three bunnies that live in our little culdesac: Howard Bernstein, Edward Hammerschmidt, and Steve; Walker and I have grown rather attached to our bunnies and look for them on our lawn in the evening. (I have no plants so I have no qualms, the neighbors may think differently)
The one complaint I do have is the restaurant selection; I'm determined to find a good pizza place (we've had some failed attempts) and I've heard the mexican food here is quite sub par. On the bright side they do have a Cafe' Rio which I count as a major food group.
