New York City

Right now I am with my sister in NYC! This week overall was pretty low key. I had the first week of renal sequence complete with some anatomy, histology, and lectures. Yesterday my small group went to the hemodialysis clinic at the VA to see what can happen in renal disease first hand instead of just talking about it for two hours. We also got a tour of the VA hospital which was pretty cool to see. After class I packed and headed to the airport to fly to NYC. The flight was good and I slept the entire way, waking up to a sunset over Manhattan!

When I got here I went to S'Mac for dinner and then Molly and I watched some TV. Today I let myself sleep in a bit and then went to Pilates class with my old instructor (who remembered me from two and half years ago!). I tried to watch the lectures I missed at school today at the New York Public Library, but the internet was too slow so I eventually went back to Molly's apartment and downloaded them so I didn't have to deal with anymore internet issues. I watched one lecture and then went to Molly's work to see it, grabbed some yummy cupcakes and banana pudding at Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and walked back to the apartment to watch the second lecture. Now I'm finally done learning biochem today and we are going to Union Square tonight for a birthday celebration. Fun times!
