It was a little of everything. First, somebody that was in my roommates group came with the swine flu and I ended up getting sick. But, even if you just needed to sleep it off you weren't allowed in your room except during the night. You had to sit in the forum's office and have them work around you. The socials were mandatory and they had staff blocking every exit so we couldn't sneak up, no matter how much we tried. My school had gone more in depth about the med proffesion, I have been inside a cadever lab, not just a virtual tour, and been in the observatory room above the surgery while a heart surgery was taking place. We have already done suturing bananas and blood pressure readings in middle school. I was exhausted and sick and basically felt like I wasted 2 weeks of my summer and a lot of my families money. I know most people got a lot out of it, but they should tell you more about it before you go, I would never have gone.
Besides, I could have saved the plane tickets and gone to Philly, but this was the only way I was going to see Harvard, and the randomly assigned us to groups of where to go and we couldn't switch. That really P.o.ed me.
I know that I am basically ranting and complaining, but it was basically 4 thousand dollars with all of the clothes, transportation, lunches, everything. I could have gone to governers school instead and I gave that up for this?
