Well, Monday begins finals week. My biggest two finals are first. Monday is Anatomy and Wednesday is Physiology. Those are really the only two I am worried about. Cumulative finals are insane especially with the level of detail we are expected to know. My strategy is to study as much as I can and still get my sleep. It is just an enormous amount of material. Between the two classes I have to know every organ, muscle, artery, vein, and nerve in the body, how they work and how they are connected. The brain is the hardest because all of the nuclei sound the same. I struggle with the inferolateral geniculate and the inferomedial geniculate kind of stuff. I guess my job is just to study my butt off and put down everything that stuck onto that exam.
I shouldn't even complain. I don't have it nearly as bad as Molly's 8 hour exam that was 100% of her grade from last year. That is insane pressure.
I will be flying home on Dec 11th!!! I can't wait. I miss everyone soooo much. Puerto Rico is amazing, fun, and beautiful, but I haven't seen much of it lately. I haven't had the opportunity to leave our little campus except for a little x-mas shopping. I think that is just adding to my being antsy about getting home. It is going to be quite a temperature shock. Right now it is 80 degrees and sunny. I hope Nicole doesn't forget to bring my coat when she picks me up from the airport!
I better get back to at least 8 hours of studying today!
