Fall Is In The Air

     Wow I can't believe another month has gone by! The weather is finally getting cooler. Earlier this month I did my third Habitat build and it was a great experience. I got to bond even further with many of my classmates. This time we worked at the main Habitat Warehouse, where we were building a shed for storage at one of their build sites. Luckily the weather was perfect, not nearly as hot as my first two builds during the middle of September!

   
October Habitat Build
    We just completed the renal block and man was it interesting! Learning about hypertension, BPH and ED seemed so relevant to medicine. The cardiovascular block before that was tough, but I really enjoyed the material. I can't believe we have only a month and a half left in the first semester. We only have two blocks left, it feels like just yesterday I was walking into my first test on inflammation. I'm looking forward to the rest of this semester, and can't wait to see what else is in store!
