Test

Well today was the day I took my 1st Anatomy test, both Lab and Lecture. I really don't know how I feel about how well I did. There were things I defiantly knew and there were things I am pretty sure I knew and then there were things I kind of remembered but it was more of a guess and then there were the things I just completely had no idea and guessed. So I have no idea what I made. I really want a A but am praying for at least a C. I can honestly say I did all I could do to prepare for this test. There isn't anymore I could of done. I started studying from day 1 so I did the best I could. I am kind of down about it because I wanted to walk out of there knowing I did great with no second thoughts but I will just have to wait till Wed to see how I did. Well time to go study for the next 6 chapters!

Wow! 3 posts in a row!

Paul has posted 3 new posts in a row!! It is some kind of miracle! Take a look if you get a chance...on my blog list under This And That

I have a busy weekend a head of me studying for my first test on monday. I went to BanesandNobel to try and find a easy to learn anatomy book. Didn't really find anything but did get the book anatomy for dummies because it had practice tests in it. See if that helps me any. Then I went and bought some ear rings to make me feel better....shopping can make almost anything ok!

Well time to get back to studying! Hope everyone has a good weekend!

PayDay Comes A Lot Faster Now!

Well at least it seems that way now! Since I started school back up it feels like the week just flies by! I can sit down to study for what seems like 30 min and 4 hours has gone by! But yet I don't get 4 hours of info in me but more like 30 min? How does that work? My anatomy class has taken over my entire life! We have gone over 5 chapters in two weeks and we have a test on Monday. We have both the Lab test and the Lecture test! Some days I feel that I am ready and other days I feel like I am defiantly not ready. Today I feel like I am not ready! Last night I was dreaming about anatomy!! In my dream I couldn't remember the name of a certain cartilage. I woke up and had to go get my book and look it up otherwise I wouldn't of been able to go back to sleep...it was Hyaline Cartilage btw. I have talk to a couple of other people in different anatomy classes and they told me they went over 1 chapter in two weeks and will have the first test over 1 chapter!!?? How did I not get that teacher?? Dang! Well please send out prayer my way that I am able to do good on my test on Monday! Thank you!!! I really want to do good on it so this weekend will all be about anatomy!

Passports and Scooters!

Hi! I just wanted to let everyone know I haven't added pictures lately because my laptop ran out
of disc space and so Paul bought me a passport (usb hard drive) to put all my pictures on. Well when I want to pull out a picture I have to hook it up to this little passport and well I have been too scared to try it. I just need Paul to show me how once and then I will be fine but when he is home I never think about asking him to help so I need to remember....

Onto the scooters...For Christmas we got both boys electric scooters. They are so fun and go up to 12 mph. You just plug them in when you are done riding and they charge up. The kids are so cute because they have friends all up and down the block and every day after school they will get their scooters and ride to their friends house to play. It is almost like they have cars. It is so cute! All their friends on our block want one. :) I do have pictures but I will have to wait till I figure out how to get them....

I take my anatomy class downtown and their is no parking close! I would love to bring one of these scooters to ride from where I do park! I am sure I would look so cool! Lol! Oh well the walk is good exercise! On another note in my anatomy class today (The Lab) I was completely confused! We learned about connective tissue which I understand it from the book and the pictures they show in the book but in Lab we pulled out the slides and they all look the same and never look like the pictures in the book. A lot of people were confused about it and then there were the few that totally got it and tried to explain it to the rest of us but I didn't get it today. I am hoping it will click for me! They have an open lab on Sat so I may have to take a trip up there on Sat and see if I can better understand it. Wish me luck!

Wild Cat Of The Week!

Every week at my kid's school they pick a person to be Wild Cat Of The Week and this week it was Branson. He was very excited! We had to do a poster all about him with pictures of him, his family, favorite places, wishes, dreams, what he wants to be when he grows up, ect. They announce his name on the speaker on the morning announcements and the parents can come eat lunch with him for free (you can eat lunch with your kids anytime but have to pay for your lunch, which isn't a big deal). So me and Paul had lunch with Branson at school and he was so excited! All the kids at his table were so cute and all wanted to talk, talk, talk! Kyler came in when Brans' class was done eating and he came over and said hi. We asked if he wanted us to eat with him and he said no. Lol! Aww, the life of a 4th grader! I hate that he is too embrassed to eat lunch with his parents already! I do remember those days well though, so I understand.

Today I had my developmental psyc today and I really like my teacher. She use to be a paramedic, then she went back to school for psycology and got her masters. Then she had a practice and now she teachers and is going for her PH D. She is a very good teacher and very interesting! I love teachers like this because it makes class so much more fun! Today we laughed so much (she is also very funny!).

So all in all today was a very fun day! My hand is sore from writing so much (all the note cards I have been doing for anatomy class). I haven't writen this much in forever!

I Know! I Know! I Know!

Well here is a little school update. My anatomy class is going to be fast and furious and I am a little worried about this. Our first test is in two weeks and it will be over 5 chapters!! And on the same day we will also have our Lab class test! And this first test will be the easiest of all the tests!!! The second test will be over 7 chapters! Whatever happened to going over 1 chapter for a couple of weeks then taking a test? Guess that was back in high school. :)

So the 19 year old in me would of waited till about two days before the test then started studying and reading the 5 chapters. I know this because that is how I use to do it and amazingly I did pass but with C's. So this weekend I read the first 3 chapters and made a million note cards and studied the note cards! Today in class the teacher would ask questions and I felt like that annoying person that would throw up her hand and be like "I know! I know! I know!! Pick me! Pick me! Pick me!!!" Haha! I had never done this before and I was so proud of myself!! Usually I am the one where when the teacher asks the question I pretend to be deeply engrossed in my note taking that I could not possibly answer any questions. Lol!

So we will see what happens on the first test! Maybe my mom was right..." Your smart, you just never apply yourself." It is a different experience to go to class and actually understand what is going on! Can you tell? All my old school issues are coming up! All week I have been having flashbacks from high school and college!

School Update

Well I started school this week! I really like my classes so far. Almost everyone in my Human Anatomy class is going for nursing so it was nice to meet other people with the same goal. Unfortunately we have all been sick this week so I wasn't feeling my best but I pushed through. Jade was sick last week, then Kyler was sick over the weekend, then I came down with it on Sunday night, Paul on Monday and Branson was today. Kyler and Jade are back to their normal happy selves and have been at school all week. Branson missed school today and will probably miss tomorrow. Paul has been in bed since Monday and I would of been in bed but have had to get out to go to school. I didn't want to miss the first week of school. I did pretty good today (I was tanked up on Day Quil) but crashed once I got home. We are all ready to get over this cold. It has been a strange bug because one day you will feel sick, then next day you will feel better like you are getting over it and then the next day you are back to feeling worse than every before. It tricks you. Hope everyone out there is feeling well and I will update again soon!
