It has been a few days since the mini and life is still pretty crazy over here in Jurassic Park!
First thing is first......the mini. Leaving the mini I actually felt okay. I knew I didn't bomb the test, and actually I though I did pretty well. The worst part about the entire thing was waiting 4 days to get my grade!!! I did pretty well! Of course I feel that I could have done more studying , but over all, I feel like I was well prepared.
So that was Monday, and I had zero time to recuperate. Friday was my histology lab exam. And once again I think I did okay, but the grades haven't come out yet. Just to top off the two weeks they decide to throw in a gross anatomy practical next Thursday. This is when they tag certain structures on our cadavers and we have to answer primary and secondary questions about the tagged item. You have a time restraint and cannot touch the body, and to make it worse, the cover up the rest of the body so you can't tell what area you are looking at. So basically, you must know EVERYTHING. Location, visual appearance, innervation, origin, insertion, arterial supply and of course it's function. FABULOUS RIGHT? I have spent at least 8 hours in the lab in the past two days, and I am literally seeing dead people! I shower and I think of the anastomosis of the elbow and I dream about the common flexors of the forearm, and the creepy looking hands with no skin on them! It is driving me NUTS!!!!
Lucky for us, the teacher assistants are giving us a practice practical today. So at least I practice taking the test and see where I am lacking.
As for general life here, I am content. This place isn't so bad, and really you don't have time to think about it at all. EVERYTHING I do revolves around school. I only wish I could get a bit more exercise and better food. I am going to try to find time to go for a daily run. I need to keep myself healthy and relieve some stress, because overall, this is not going to get easier, it is going to get much harder. Regarless, I say BRING IT! I am ready for it!!!
You are a strong and super cool chick! My hat goes off to you! I really don't know how you are keeping it all together! if you ever really need to talk, and I really mean this from my heart, you can text, blog, or fb me and we can connect! I am here for you, not your other half, we girls have to stick together!
