I can hear sirens running though my head... "WARNING WARNING.... INFORMATION OVERLOAD" I almost feel as if normal language is non existent at the moment. I just have random things running through my head! To give you an idea of the amount of information I have to know for this "mini" just take a looksie......
Histology: complete cell biology (a whole books worth), epithelia, connective tissue, cartilage and bone.
Biochemistry: biomacromolecules, carbonic acid buffer system, carbohydrates, lipids, enzymes, amino acids, proteins, RNA, DNA, transcription, translation, viruses, gene expression, chromosomal diseases, the human genome project and biotechnology.
Anatomy: the muscles, nerves, arteries, and function of the back, the pectoral region, the spinal cord, the scapular region, the arm the forearm and the hand. oh, and of course the clinical correlations if one of the above were injured.
Physiology: membrane potential, transport, osmolarity, tonicity, action potentials, blah blah blah...
Doctor Patient Society: alcoholism, spinal cord injury, cystic fibrosis, how to take a history, how to be a good doctor and acculturation.
So can you see why I am going absolutely nuts? It isn't that I feel like I don't know anything, cause I definitely do... it is just the pure fact of getting easily confused with this amount of information! I can only imagine what it will be like come the end of the semester!
But all in all, I am trying to remain calm. I am definitely not freaking out like some people who have stayed up till 5 am studying for the past three days. I have studied these subjects from day one. I am definitely no genius, and there are things that come easy to others that do not to me, but I feel like I have done the best I can. And with that being said, I am satisfied.
Tonight I am gonna take a hot shower, jump into my fresh, clean sheets and get some sleep. And as always, hope that my dreams don't turn into Erbs Palsy, aliphatic amino acids or beta pleated sheets!
Wish me luck tomorrow!
You poor sweet thing, you sound like you are pathetically happy and miserable at the same time! Is there anything that I can do or send to you to help?
