Week 10: Day 3
Well so this week sure got better!
Thursday, I didn't get much done. I worked at my Human Growth and Development assignment (due Sunday at 11:55pm) but somehow, lost way too much time to Facebook. I deactivated my profile today and am not reactivating it until April 20th, after my last final exam is over. I did manage to finish the first draft of this assignment though, to look over with my tutor Sunday evening.
Friday morning was decent; I finally made it into the Anatomy lab to review the labs. My lab mate that I was meeting there was absent however, so I'm not sure if the things I identified were correct or not. It was a good review though.
Friday afternoon was FREAKING AMAZING. We got our Neurological Disorders second midterms back (this was my only course with two midterms), and I got 79%!!! This is an astronomical improvement from my first midterm for the course, which was 53%.
I was so giddy, that I proclaimed excitedly (and loudly), "Maaaaan this is so so good! I wanna get drunk now! eeeeeeeeee!!" Of course, since I was planning to do homework Friday night, all I did was purchase one craft beer and drank it at home. I got an Irish themed red ale, since I'll be missing all the St. Paddy's Day celebrations Saturday night.
It was such a surreal feeling. Neurological Disorders was the only class I was worried about not passing, which would have flunked me out of my degree. It's the only 400-level class I'm taking, and it's a PHYSIOLOGY CLASS ABOUT THE BRAIN. I am not very good at Physiology and the brain, while effin' cool, is a very complicated piece of equipment to try and wrap my brain around (ha!). A wave of excitement and relief washed over me, knowing that now more than ever, I will finish my degree!!! I still can't believe it!!
Friday, I also saw my Neurological Disorders tutor to go over Multiple Sclerosis and Immunology. We only have one lecture left for this course, on Huntington's disease (I'm a little annoyed that he left out Parkinson's disease), and then our class presentations start. My presentation may be this Friday coming up (I'm not sure because our times are assigned alphabetically by the first initial of our last name) and I'm on the cusp. I suppose I should get it completed anyway. We'll see if that happens.
I then finished out writing some flash cards for Anatomy as I met my tutor Saturday morning. Based on our session, it seems like I need to review my cards more and make another Excel spreadsheet linking all the info together. Sad, because I'm so behind in my flash card creation!
Tonight, what's left of me will work on my presentation and my other two papers.
