Week 2!

Hey! Well its week 2 here at Nottingham Medical School and we're finally settling down into some kind of rhythmn! Lectures have begun in earnest and all the clubs and societies have started up! Tonight is the infamous week 2 medics cocktail party held at a club in town. Medics from all years come and drink lots of (lovely?) cocktail from huge industrial size bins! Of course there are non alcoholic alternatives too! So in the midst of all this fun work still has to be done! Each week we have a small oral anatomy exam (a viva) which contributes towards our end of year mark in anatomy-so we have to prepare for that each week by reading up on the area of the body we will be dissecting. Nottingham is one of the few medical schools left that still gives medical students human cadavers (dead bodies) to disect from scratch instead of only using pre-disected specimins (prosections) to learn from. Anyway sorry for the short length of this post but i have to rush off and prepare my costume (the party is fancy dress!).
