anatomy

time and time again, i am reminded of the reason why i took management economics in college-- all i have to do is understand the concepts and be able to apply them in different circumstances. no memorization of whatever scientific terms and processes.

no, i am not regretting my decision to take up nursing. i am still very much enjoying it. and i love learning these new things which i find very practical.

but i am just a little irritated. these last couple of days, i have set my study plan. i was supposed to have 4 midterm exams this week (2 on thursday, 2 on friday) and 2 on monday of next week. i would study for my anatomy test today and wednesday, my IT exam on thursday after my anatomy midterms, and my health ethics and CHD exam on thursday night.

i have already prepared my reviewers for my anatomy exam. me and my friends decided to split tasks, we would be making reviewers for one chapter and share it amongst us. i was just supposed to read through the reviewers and start memorizing the skeletal system (again!) and the origin, insertion & actions of the skeletal muscles.

but what a not-so-pleasant-surprise! i went to class this morning, hoping to get final reminders and tips for thursday's midterms. i came in late since i thought that the important reminders would be given at the end of the class.

when i got to the classroom, i was told by mommy cassy that our prof announced that our midterms would be departmental and would cover chapters 1-9 (excluding ch 2) of our book. that includes the overview, cells, integumentary system, skeletal system, muscular system (all of which were past lessons and i would just need to review) PLUS nervous system, special senses & endocrine system!

now i need to read 3 more chapters, try to understand them, & make reviewers for them. that means more stuff to memorize (olecranon process is part of which system again?!) & i am already getting everything mixed up.

at least the test was moved to a later date... on feb 5. i have always had a history of not doing well on tests given feb5 or some few days after that. i don't know if it's psychological (my friends would know the relevance of this date to my life) or if i really get cursed on that day.

haaaay, what would happen to me now?
