It has been going very quickly, but I am really enjoying myself. I never knew how much my brain can hold but let me tell ya, school is testing the limits.
We had our first few exams. Luckily the first was a Cell Biology class which undergrads can take and which is more basic than a lot of our other classes. So it was like a little wading pool/kiddie pool type test before they tossed us into the deep end with anatomy.
Oh anatomy? Only 3 hours worth of test. 1.5 hrs written and 1.5 hrs of practical exam which consisted of us correctly identifying tagged muscles/veins/arteries/nerves/bones etc... and knowing what they do. But it's over and I did alright. Woo!
Then we had the Smoker which the second years put on the night after our first anatomy exam. Beer, shots, cigars, dancing, funny videos, and all around good times ensued and we really needed it. It wasn't that the test was so bad, but the stress leading up to it? Wow.
In addition to Anatomy (study of the actual body parts) and Cell bio (study of things inside cells), I also have physiology (study of how the body actually works) and microanatomy (study of cells and tissues and such).
My schedule looks like this (ish) most weeks.
- Monday - Class 8-10; Micro Lab 10-noon
- Tuesday- Class 9-10; Anatomy Lab 10-1pm; Lunch!; Class 2-5 (ew)
- Wed - Class 8-10; Break 10-noon; Micro Lab noon-2
- Thurs - Same as Tues
- Friday - Class 9-10; Anatomy Lab 10-1pm; Lunch!; Physio Lab 2-5 (but sometimes this is on Wed instead....)
So it is busy, but good!
I also got to go to Raptor (big birds of prey) Rehab boot camp today and actually work with a bird on a glove. Which is sweet (and worth 2 in the bush! ha ha....) But I'll give you more details on that later. I have to get back to work on the subjects I blew off last week!
...or play with my roommates dog.....
We'll see.
