Now it is going.

It appears that it's possible to find a rhythm in medical school. I wake up early (or rather the cat wakes me up early), have some tea and breakfast. Then I head to school, stay there for the majority of the day and then I come home. At this point I try to work out, but the recent weather patterns of large thunderstorms in the afternoon have been thwarting my efforts. The evening consists of dinner, studying, and maybe a movie. We have a quiz this week and an exam the next week, it seems we are settling into a schedule of testing.
I am finding there is not a whole lot going on in Parker. They have a small farmer's market on Sundays and there are some good restaurants around. It seems that many of the second year students moved up north where there was more going on, but they generally have the whole routine down better than me.
The flat tires on my bike finally got fixed and I have been riding my bike to and from school which is a great way to wake up, but not so great when you have a lot of stuff. On Tuesday we were given a box of flash cards and a Kaplan USMLE review book, which is much appreciated, but I ended up having to use a carabiner to hold my backpack shut. I felt ridiculous riding my mountain bike along E-470 with a loaded backpack in a skirt, such is life.
