First Semester

This is the building that I will be spending the vast majority of my lecture time. It's called the Annex. All first semester students have class here. It holds all 400 students that are in my class. That number will drop by 40-50% within the year. Remarkable, isn't it?


Everything around here is pretty state of the art. For example, we all bring our laptops to class, plug into the network wirelessly and access our professors lecture notes. We can also get our school email as well as any other pertinent information. The school installed a program onto our laptops so that our professors can ask us a question, we open up the program and choose which answer we want, he receives the answers from us within seconds and that will give him feedback on how we are undertanding what he is lecturing on. Todays lecture was biochemistry and anatomy (the back). I am off to study now. I have to start memorizing all of these muscles and nerves. Love it!
  • Thanks to everyone who's been reading and posting replies, I love to read what you all think of this adventure. I really appreciate it.

Anatomy was my favorite class in college and I LOVED lab!! We had half of a human head encased in this crazy glass block type jar! We called him "Fred the Head". Somebody said he was a crazy person from the insane asylum (you know, before they closed them all down due to budget cuts and let them roam free in the general population!). The actually bisected the head down the center and you could see half the brain, the brainstem and pons. You could even see hair in his nostrils still!! It was AWESOME!! Wait until you get your cadaver! I'm so jealous!!
