the beginning of an era.

today it begins. the first classes of my preparation course for medschool. I'm freaking out a bit, but in a good way. it feels like you raise the bar for yourself. you know you can't get over at the time, but eventually you will get over it. and when that happens - it's time to take it up a noch. the subject for this fall is chemistry. gotta love it.

yesterday we had this great day at school. we're all going to practice at the end of the year to different places of pediatric medicine. infants mostly, so a good way to handle the practice is to know how to handle an infant. we did just that, but not with real babies ofcourse, we trained with dolls. anyways, it was great. I could see that everyone, even us guys, took it seriously and focused on what we were doing. and I guess the girls found it heartwarming to see us taking care of the dolls: changin diapers, giving them baths, changing clothes etc. the best part for me was in the evening when lindas cousin and her family came over and they had their 7month old baby-boy with them. ofcourse I had to put the theory into practice and I practiced my skills with a real baby. it was quite nice to see that the things we've been teached the pass weeks have somehow implanted on my brain and I knew actually quite a lot about the babys development so far. awesome.

but anyways, I'll keep on freaking out and try to find the good ol' calculator and remember the basics of chemistry before I jump in with the big fish. bazinga.
