began its marathon (as our histology professor says [i'll insert his
name later] update: professor chandrashekhar )
the first class was just an introductory one by the biochemistry prof
in the anatomy hall.. We were all asked our ambitions, reasons to
choose medicine, etc.. 'Neurologist' was what 1/4th at least wanted to
be..so i said 'research in brain and cognitive science'..
Then she talked about how 75% attendance is compulsory and about the internals..
We got a list of recommended books.. Now i needa find a second hand
book shop to get those..
Then we went to physiology dept & listened to almost the same things
again, only that this time we were jam packed
(going by the way professors are stressing the attendance issue, i
guess there'll be more room in later days)
can't forget the roll call..i got roll number 8..but zigu is some 150
(not exactly r8 now, but he'll be 150 when everyone joins) and it
takes some 10 minutes to reach him
then at the anatomy dept..no we didn't get to the cadavers today..only
a skeleton welcomed us..
And actual class started with histology there. Professor was damn
joyful (till i drew the microscope lacklusterly later :-D)
so we got additions to our required materials - H & E pencils, knee
hammer, pen torch and the striking ones stethoscope and apron!
I bought the apron from d society payin 300 (size 32 ;-))..but nobody
else is wearing one as of now. So i kept it folded
had lunch from a hotel outside bcoz the canteen within the college was
closed, and i din't know hostel was walkable distance away.
Then we were divided into 3 batches acc to roll number.. I thought
arya'd be in my batch and have the time table because her name starts
with 'a'
but unfortunately she got some 130+ roll number..
And then i went in search of the histology lab..me and anie went to
anatomy hall and there were students too..but they were final years
:-D
finally we found the lab in the first floor, above biochemistry hall..
Her roll number ws 11, but the number was written next to 8! There's
another Akshay on my right in the lab..actually there's another one
too, dunno where he is..
Anyhow cross talking was not allowed..
So we observed air bubble, hair, dust and cotton fibres under the
microscope. 'Focus in low power' is the main point to note..i still
dunno how to close one eye..that's a handicap :-P
so, we'll have observation notes here too.
At least there are only 3 subjects..
After all the drawing process we were allowed out to attend the
fresher's day program at the jubilee hall (the large auditorium) ..
There was food.. There were speeches.. And there was an anti-drug oath
went town in the night, bought bed (4 inch coir + foam type which'll
last 5 years at around 3k cost)
had the first dinner at the hostel and it rocked (literally..the tv
volume was rocking the glass panes)
in the end there was a meeting. Warden sir came.. Everyone introduced
themselves.. And the prefects (seniors supervising us) told us what
was expected of us..
And then when everyone went their rooms they came checking on us..
My 105 room didn't have a cot for me. So i got one from the next room
(zigu's 104)
and i learned that seniors must be called 'sir' from rudra ansh (can't
link to his blog from mobile..search karo)
