I realize that the blog has been a bit static for awhile...Kadie has been filling in for people at the Zoo and I have been studying infectious diseases. As I write this, I am taking a break from studying at Pacific's library in Forest Grove. I don't get over to this campus very often, however today we are going to a micro lab here to do some gram staining and I thought it would be interesting to check out the campus library. The infectious disease module is a doozy. There are lots of diseases caused by various organisms: bacteria, viruses, protozoans, worms, fungi....and lots of drugs to kill or at least limit the effect of said organisms. All of which I am trying to cram into my head for the assessment this Friday.
This morning I glanced at the calendar and asked Kadie where had July gone? "You were studying". Yep, that pretty much sums it up. In fact, the semester is almost over! How the heck did that happen? A note to my friends who are thinking about applying to PA school: just do it! It's crazy busy and hard and you study all of the time, but the material is soooo cool!
Anyhoo, back to infectious diseases. This is a subject that I love! Not to acquire, mind you, but it is fascinating how, for example, a virus gets into your cells and takes over the machinery to do its bidding. Crazy.
