I hate the brain
I thought the point of professional school was so you could stop having to ask "When will I ever need to use this useless information?" Like in high school when we had to memorize traits of certain periods of literature throughout world history and write two-hour long spontaneous essays on them. I was very, very wrong - for example, why would a future pharmacist need to know the names of the structures of a developing fetus's brain and the corresponding adult brain features that form from them within the first six weeks after conception? And yet it will be on Thursday's anatomy exam >_< He had said during the first week of class that the book went into uber detail that we needn't worry about - which was true for the first exam. Now, though, not only do we need to memorize a ton of useless crap, we also have to know some stuff in more depth than the book talks about it. Yikes. Good thing I aced the first exam, eh? A bit of a "buffer" for the rest of the semester o_O
In other news, it appears I did decently (got a mid-range B) on the Profession of Pharmacy exam which contained questions on things that were never covered in either the lectures or the assigned readings, and whose other answers were especially tricky because several different professors came together to write it and thus its style changed repeatedly.
I went home this past weekend, which meant playing with puppies and spending all of Saturday getting costume pieces etc, which wasn't so bad. Also, I have off Friday because we were a lecture ahead and the professor noted he was our only class that day, and decided the practicum afterwards wasn't terribly important - so instead of class 9 to 1, I have none this Friday, making a 3-day weekend of Halloweeny joy. Hoorj! Now if I can just get through the stupid brain and stupid nerves and stuff >_
