First day

Just finished my first day of class. Had one biochemistry class. I took advanced biochem as a biochem major at UCI and today's class very quickly (in about an hour) covered 2 or 3 of the hour and a half undergrad lectures. We didn't go into as much detail of course and left some stuff out that wasn't relevant to medicine (this course I'm taking is called Medical Biochem). It had a review feel to the lecture. Like my undergrad course, this one doesn't require a textbook, funny thing about these biochem courses.

Oh, I should explain how the classes work here. We Grad Postbac students aka IMS students attend the same lectures as the med school students at Drexel, except we go to a lecture hall at an off campus site, at their Hahnemann hospital campus. The lectures at the main campus are broadcast live to the Hahnemann campus where we watch it on a big screen. There is also a mic in our lecture hall that we can use to ask questions to the main campus. Pretty cool setup and the lectures are recorded on video and posted online the same day after 5pm. I plan to attend most if not all of the lectures just to help me keep up to date.

My first exam is Thursday next week, we're given about a day and a half to study, that is no classes the previous day and a half. Cool beans. I think by next week, we'll have covered the entire quarter of my undergrad biochem course, skipping some stuff of course.

And now for a break in the discourse, here's what I had for lunch:
its pasta in pecorino romano, parm reg, cream and butter sauce, there's also bacon with the fat fried out of it. I made it myself, it was delicious. Time for my self study course in amino acids!
