two. today we had our first day in the ICM (integrated clinical medicine) lab. our first lesson was on taking patient history. after the lesson, we were given scripts to follow as patients and we partnered up—one person would be the patient and the other would be the doctor. i paired up with my friend joey,...

after being forced to clean my brother’s and sister’s mess/junk for the majority of this break, i’ve decided that i will buy a small house when i’m older and tell my children that we’re poor so that they won’t want to buy anything and will grow up to live a minimal lifestyle.
