Friday night was the annual Pritzker Prom. Each year the Pritzker administration and the Pritzker chapter of AMSA (American Medical Student Association) join together to host the Prom. It's unique in that it's probably the only event that is well attended by members of all four classes at Pritzker, though obviously more well attended by first and second years than third or fourth years. It was fun to hang out with my classmates, and to see a lot of the second years who have been somewhat incommunicado since starting the new quarter. It was also a cool opportunity to see and hang out with some of our school professors in a non-school environment. This year my class invited Dr. Ross (our head anatomy professor), Dr. Jim O'Reilly (also an anatomy prof), and Dr. Meredith (biochemistry professor). It was great to see them all dressed up and spiffy!
This year's Prom was held on the Odyssey II, a boat docked at Navy Pier on Lake Michigan. This was actually the second time that Rahul and I have been on a boat on Lake Michigan, since the first year semi-formal orientation event was also held on a boat. Luckily, though, the Prom was held on a yacht so that the freezing weather didn't put a damper on the fun. My classmates think I'm nuts, but rather than freeze to death on the walk to the boat, I decided to wear my new Ugg boots to the boat. Of course I changed once we got on the boat, but they still thought it was pretty funny. I just really dislike being cold!
At any rate, a fun time was had by all and Rahul and I had a cute picture taken by the photographer on the boat. Enjoy!
