I'm So Ronery...
Hmmm...well, anatomy and histo are yesterday's news, over and done with, history, (insert random cliche here). They went pretty well actually, especially the anatomy bellringer...I walked out of that one feeling like I really had some idea of what the inside of a human body looks like (which was a pleasant and unexpected sensation). Histo felt pretty good too, but a lot of the two part questions were things I was 90% sure of, and you've gotta get both parts right to get the mark, so I could be a little screwed there. Still, I'd be very surprised if I didn't pass it at least.
Next up is my Prin A/B exam, which covers an amazing amount of material. Just today I went through the endocrine system, the autonomic nervous system (and a ton of drugs which can affect it), smooth muscle, homeostasis (focus on blood pressure and temperature), anticancer pharmacology, Diabetes, general metabolism (glycolysis, TCA cycle, ETC, gluconeogenesis, EtOH metabolism and how it affects other pathways, lipolysis, starvation), glucose regulation, second messenger systems and receptor classes. Tomorrow is skeletal muscle and nerves, plus all the genetics, embryology, neoplasia, and cell bio stuff from the first midterm. The exam is on the 20th, but my studying has been pretty good (9 hours today, 12.5 yesterday), so I think I'll get it all done. I'm more worried about Prin C/family practice (on the 22nd)...that's all pharmacology, renal stuff, and immunology...with lots of equations. Things I'm a little more shaky on. But that's something to worry about later.
I've got the place to myself (well, except for a kitten with a fetish for used tea bags...he keeps fishing them out of the garbage an leaving them on the floor, where I invariably step on them in bare feet. Not pleasant.), as Jon left on Friday for Nova Scotia. He's finally spending Christmas with his family (he missed out last year), which is great for him and for them, but not so good for me. I am missing him pretty badly...though I guess it's good to have fewer distractions around here. Still...I'd sacrifice a few points off my final mark to have him around. At least he has been good about calling...
All right, enough of a study break, gotta get another review in before bed!
