Hey everybody! This is my first blog post for the MS
Pharmacology program in Tulane and I have so much to talk about! I was nervous,
at first, about moving hundreds of miles away from home. However, I was excited
about starting this new chapter in my life, and so far, I am glad I made that
choice. In the first couple of weeks, I tried to experience as much as I can
about New Orleans. From eating beignets at the world renowned Café du Monde to
walking around and listening to the various jazz bands in the French Quarter, I
can see why so many people call New Orleans home.
Last week we had our first exam, which went well, and we
have another one on Monday. Each block covers a lot of material and it can get
a little overwhelming at times but with the help of my professors and fellow
classmates I feel like I will be able to succeed. Getting used to life in NOLA
and learning how to study efficiently for the Pharmacology curriculum took a
lot out of me but I was still able to find some time this month to volunteer for
the American Cancer Society by helping set up for their annual Belles and Beaus
Ball. It was great seeing all different types of people working together to
help fund local cancer research in order to one day create a world free from
the pain and suffering of cancer.
Now that I have said all I wanted to say, I need to get back
to studying for this upcoming exam I have on Monday!
