Final Anatomy Test

Yesterday was our last anatomy lecture, I thought it would never get here. No more changing into those horrible stinky cadaver clothes. Friday is our test so today and tomorrow are designated study days. I am finding it very hard to get motivated to study for this last test. I have been studying since 8:30 this morning (with the exception of a couple of short breaks and one long one for lunch). I wish tomorrow was Friday just so I wouldn't have to be tortured with trying to study.

I can't wait for this weekend, no anatomy to think about! However on Monday the rest of our classes start, including Histology which is suppose to be worse than anatomy. I don't think anything can be worse than anatomy. You don't have to change into smelly clothes to go to histo.

I can't wait to celebrate birthdays this weekend. Almost the whole family will be there, plus other relatives. I haven't seen my grandparents in quite awhile so that will be nice to see them. Plus we are having the best food ever.

Well I suppose I should get back to my studying. I wish I could just go home, but I told my body buddy I would meet him in the lab at 3. I did this on purpose, knowing it would keep me at school, however I'm not really getting any studying done, so it's pointless for me to stay at school. O well. I suppose if I learn one thing that will score me some extra points on the test it'll be worth it.

Is Back!!!

Tonight was my first night back at dance. It was so much fun. I miss clogging so much. I think it is going to be a fun year, I know my class will be a much appreciated break from all of my studying. I'm not so excited about the half hour drive to the studio, but it'll be ok.

We already started our first dance- When the Sun Goes Down- by Kenny Chesney and Uncle Cracker, and I am also learning a second, more advanced song, its by Faith Hill- not sure of the title, something about summer.

Anyways I didn't get a whole lot of studying done today so I better do a quick review before I head to bed.

Test #2

Well after a grueling four hours I have finished my second anatomy test. Two down, one to go. I'm not sure how well I actually did, I know for a fact that I only got two wrong on the first column of the practical part, because my TA graded it and told me. So far I have 46/150 points on the practical portion. I feel that I did better on the written part this time too. So hopefully my grade will reflect how I feel.

Nothing else is really new in life. Life pretty much stops while I am studying for anatomy. Tomorrow we have a whole day off and Emily and I are going shopping. I am excited to get out of the house and spend some quality time with my siser.

As soon as Josh gets done with his lab stuff he is taking me out to lunch! This is very exciting news because I am starving! I just spent two hours in the cadaver lab and that smell triggers your hunger center, so I am extra famished!

Well here we are at the 8th day of the great Minnesota get together and its starting to get a little old. For starters, the number of buses on the roads around here is crazy. They are creating too much traffic on my nice quiet transitway that the campus commuter takes me to school on. I liked being on the only bus on the road. Secondly the fireworks are starting to get on my nerves. Usually around 10 o'clock is when I have just fallen asleep and them I am rudely awakened by the exploding of the fireworks. I should just stay up until they are over, but I have to get up so early to miss all of the bus traffic, so by 10 o'clock I'm exhausted.

Last night Martinna McBride sang, but I didn't go outside to hear her. I think in about an hour Rascal Flats will be singing and I think I might have to go outside for them.

I think I am officially half way done with anatomy. Our cadaver has taught us much but is becoming a little , ok a lot, smelly. I, along with my body buddies, have decided to purchase some face masks for the remainder of the course. I can't believe it took us this long to decide to get masks, I'm pretty sure the smell hasn't gotten any worse. I think maybe we are just putting our faces in closer to see all the teeny structures we are forced to find so it seems a lot worse.

Only a week away from test number two, which means I better get back to my studying.
