So after a very relaxing day off yesterday, I am feeling refreshed and ready for the final sprint. I had two tests on Thursday, a histology and an anatomy practical. For histology, we sit in the Annex and slides of different tissues are projected on the big screens and we have to ID them or answer secondary questions about what (think) we see. For anatomy, they pick out good examples from different cadavers, tag stuff and ask questions. Mostly IDs and a few secondary questions too (where does this muscle attach? what nerve innervates the muscle? etc.) They sent out the answers for the anatomy practical and although I don't remember ALL of my answers, I know I did really well! Histo - we shall see. I think I did okay :)
Yesterday, Colby and I woke up late, made breakfast and sat like bumps on a log in bed all day. I had a physiology quiz at 1p - but other than that.. we hardly moved. Watched TV, movies, ate and slept. It was fabulous. We found the Steelers pre-season game against the Eagles on the Slingbox which was super exciting and went at halftime to get some pistachio and strawberry cheesecake ice cream. MmMMmM! We were supposed to go watch the sunset with a bottle of wine - but Colby didn't want to after all - so he owes me one!!
Today was a bit more productive. I had a review for Mini 3 from 9a-1p and Colby went down to Roseau to get some fresh fish and a few other things. We got home around the same time and ate some leftovers. I am getting back into the swing of things, on campus getting back into study mode.
Mini 3 is on Thursday, but thank god we don't have any class this week so I will have lots of time to study (wayyy more than usual). Cardiac and respiratory physiology are a huge portion of the test and will count for 45% of my final grade in physio - so I definitely can't blow that one. I feel good though - I have done well up through now .. and just need to keep it up for 11 more days. August 19th is my final, then I am free!
As you all know, Button and Warren come that Saturday and then we are off to Barbados on Monday, September 1st.
Oh, by the way, I had another cockroach sighting, but this time it was in broad daylight and on my bed. I got up to get in the shower and Colby was laying in bed still and I turned back around to say something to him and the monster-cockroach was crawling up onto the bed. I screamed bloody murder, obviously. Colby came to my rescue and killed the beast, but I am scarred and scared to sleep on my side of the bed. Damnit.
Hope everyone is doing well and only 4 months and 11 days until we come back to the States!!!
Take care, xoxoxox.
