Well, I just finished Pathways. Pathways is apparently a 1c course designed to teach study habits. 5 hours a day of studying. I think I can take that...
Anyways, SMP's program feels pretty nifty and chill. A lot of the med students and the SMP students sit together, so it's hard to tell who's in the grad and who's in the med. Currently working on a housing opportunity in a housing co-op community, not sure how that's going to work out, but it has a garage to eat my car.
The first three lectures, on the whole, aren't very deep. One of the lecturers used only textbook images, almost without text, which was surprisingly a lot easier to follow than I expected. Plenty of notes to study. I'm still without a log-in, so no lecture notes for tomorrow *ouch* which I'll have to pick up post-lecture. Tomorrow's a commute day. Gotta pick up the old silver Avalon and listen to that sweet, sweet, Elliot in the Morning on the commute in. Parking is a killer at $15, so the faster I move in, the better.
Post-class, I feel confident that I understand most of the material and should be able to get up to speed with a few hours of studying. I did notice, since I read the materials beforehand, that one of the objectives by the lecturers was NEVER discussed in class. Something about blood volume calculations. Luckily, it is in the notes, and I was able to pick up on that.
Haven't purchased textbooks yet. They are apparently on reserve at the library so I might simply use Amazon Prime and get all the books. Recommendations not listed: Gray's Anatomy, Netter's by Mulroney and Myers.
The community is just as I remembered it. Pretty open, easy walk. I'm not sure if I want to bring my bike, but it's apparently a 5 minute drive down.
Oh well. Studying for an hour or two and then checking the new place out. Then home and more studying.
