Abroad

So I only have a few moments at an internet cafe but I just wanted to give a brief update. I'm now in the middle of the DIS long study tour and am at Berlin. We went to Poznan, Poland from Sunday to Wednesday, and we will be in Berlin until Saturday. So far it has been amazing. I feel so priviledged to be able to be abroad and travel during school, and we've been able to see a lot of very interesting things. Apart from just being in Poland and Germany and experiencing the two cities, DIS taken us on some medical related trips like autopsies and pediatrician shadowing. Both experiences were really interesting and eye-opening, but I was really moved by the autopsies. I think the only way to describe it was surreal. Seeing the knowledge that the pathologists had and how masterfully they can move through the body was really fascinating.

And the cities are, of course, a lot of fun. We've been on tours, seen museums, all the good stuff! I will give more details later, but just wanted to say....Europe's amazing!
