I think I'm ready for my M.D.

This week was a very average one with nothing incredibly exciting to share. However, the fact that I'm in Copenhagen still makes it more exciting than your average week at home. I have recently discovered the best bakery in Copenhagen and it is way too close to my school--that was definitely a dangerous find. I had a test in my Complexity of Cancer class on Monday and it was pretty easy. My professors are two young doctors who clearly just want us to learn as much as we can but don't really care about grades or tests or anything like that. My Danish class is going very well and I'm feeling more and more confident using my Danish around the city. Perhaps the coolest part of my week was today in my Human Health and Disease class. We had a very hands on class and learned how to put in IVs, give CPR and intubate. We practiced on fake arms first for the IVs but then if people felt confident/brave enough we could practice on each other. Since needles don't really bother me I volunteered both my hands and have developed some really nice bruises on them because my classmates weren't so sskilled with their needles. But luckily someone volunteered for me to practice on them and I got it in on the first try! To some of you, this may not seem very exciting but I was super proud of myself. The CPR part wasn't all that great since I'm already CPR certified but the intubation dummy was pretty cool. I think they can hand me my medical degree now, I'm ready!
