Our anatomy coordinator was a larynx master. Those are the surgeries he does so he LOVED to ask questions about that stuff.

Totes.
Sigh. Now I've got "SICK ELEPHANTS CAN BE TREATED" running over ... and over .... and over .... and over ... in my mind.
(Not really a bad thing. I need to remember it for finals next week, I suppose.)

ALSO: Hate This Class for hyopharyngeus, thyropharyngeus, and cricopharyngeus. Also, sternothyroideus, thyrohyoideus, hyoglossus.
Stop hurting me.
You know what really sucks about those? I haven't heard a peep about most of them if at all after the anatomy exam. Some of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles are important for respiratory stuff, but the others... not so much.
You're almost there, Bearby! I know it feels like a never ending pit of despair... but soon it will be over. 🙂 And you will feel amazing.
Hey now, not everyone else. I still have 3 days of tests left and just got home from the anatomy lab. So hmph. 🙂
Let's go, LIS! You too, Bearby! MAKE IT TO THE END (of this semester) so you can sleep for a brief respite!!
Now I know why I couldn't sleep today...people are still slogging through exams. My insomnia was set off like a fire alarm foghorn....
First day of Christmas break for me 🙂
Kind of started drinking at 12pm after the anatomy bellringer yesterday but no regrets

Go Bearby and LIS!!!!!!!!!!!! You can do it!!!!! *waves end of the semester pom poms*
Hey Bearby, you done yet? Is UMN really the last school? (I have one more final tomorrow.)
Minor rant: Two of our finals were actual double tests. As in, sit down and take a midterm-ish kind of exam for the last month or so of material, and then turn it in and immediately turn around and do a cumulative final. That's ... well, it makes the LIS sad.

I'm done. I crashed and burned in our neuro final yesterday, but it seems like a lot of my class did, so maybe there will be a curve. I'm just so happy to be home. Good luck on your last final.
ETA: That double test thing seems ******ed. Why do it?
Yeah... why you gotta turn the midterm in before getting the cumulative? Why not just combine it into one test?
Beats me - I'm just the student. 🙂 I imagine just because they view them as distinctly separate tests.
That said, *that* part isn't so bad because if you want you can get up and go take a few minutes break between them. The part that sucks is having to study for two very different tests in the same class - on the one hand you're studying very, very detailed information for the 'midterm'-like test, but you're also trying to review the entire semester's worth of material broadly for the cumulative. It's ... odd.
Anyway, radiology in T-1 hours and then onward to winter BREAK.
WOOHOO!!!! go git 'em tiger!
Finished my last final yesterday....so frickin' happy to be done studying! Near the end my brain was so fried I wasn't sure I was going to make it through. I just hope I passed everything and I won't know until the middle of January. Oh well on to break!!!!
.... and done.
Now, sleep.
Tonight, beer. (Ok, truth be told, I already went out to lunch and had one.)

One of my friends from undergrad is in your class and I saw from her FB status that you're done-congrats, and enjoy that beer!
Oh now that was not cool, EG .... who is it? PM me! 🙂
In other news ... since I did not do so well in phys chem or (of all things) nutrition; I want to take one moment to say: I aced the radiology final. Rawr. (It's nice having at least ONE class you rocked. Those days of straight-As are lonnnnnng gone.)

I burst into tears when I saw my anatomy grade, because I had passed it. LOL
....and now I'm on vacation and I kind of don't know what to do with myself. I feel like I should be learning *something*.
Don't do it! Turn off that brain and let the peaceful laze take over your body. Go cook something, go read something. Go have a drink to celebrate. 🙂
I forgot that we get free membership to VIN being students!!! My vet reminded me today due to my cat's abnormal signs. I am now completely obsessed with looking up info and will probably be posting on there tomorrow once I get a video of my cat doing his weird swallowing thing.
I NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
I'm getting fat 🙁

So I'm guilty of using anatomy terms over break. We went to Chicago to spend Christmas at my sister's, and while there, we went to the Field Museum, which has a whale exhibit right now. Needless to say, it was AWESOME, but the first-year-who-just-got-out-of-SA-anatomy in me was fascinated by the sperm whale skeletons they had on display.
I just had a minor heart attack. Jumped online and saw that my tuition had been paid with finanacial aid and I had $X,000 left over that would be deposited.....only "X" was about 1/2 what I would need for the remainder of the semester.....THANKFULLY, they had only credited me for my loans and not my grants. Seriously, though, there was a minute when I was trying to figure out how in the WORLD I was going to even pay my cell phone without selling a kidney. 😱
PHEW!! Hopefully, heart rate will go down soon....

How much do you think a kidney would go for on the black market?
A good kidney has to go for at least $50,000 right?
Average price paid to seller $5k. Average price paid by buyer $150k

I think I am getting into the black market kidney biz.
profiteering?
Back at school. We start neuro tomorrow...😱
Ha! Ha! All you people who were done early and taunting me with your breaks while I was still taking exams .... Ha! I'm still leisuring it away on break.
Yes. Leisuring. Go with it.
Back at it tomorrow for us. We start pathology first thing tomorrow morning!
hey you don't have Miselis in charge. You're the luckiest Penn class in years.
*shakes fist at leisuring LIS while printing out tomorrow's lectures*
You have no idea how thankful I am for that!
We have a week left as well. 🙂
Didn't we finish exams at the same time? I start back to school tomorrow. you suck
Ugh. Time to get cracking. We don't actually start until next Monday but I'm already getting anxious - have work 3 days next week + catching up with a bunch of people. My days of sitting on the couch reading a book are over. bah humbug.

Ohio State is back to the old grind again tomorrow as well. I arrived back in Columbus at about 2 pm, dropped off the critters and all the junk I brought from home, and went shopping for groceries, cat litter, and some odds and ends. Came home and put everything away, hung up all my clothes, cleaned the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and basement. Now I'm getting ready to get stuff organized for tomorrow, pack a lunch, take a shower, and get in bed early. We have to pick up our books and note packets tomorrow between 7 and 8 am, so I'll be awake by 5:45 and out the door by 6:45. Gonna be a long day; tomorrow starts day 1 of studying and exercising every day and generally just staying caught up on life.
Kicking off the new year with endocrine physiology tomorrow morning. Yay.
Dog skull anatomy. Wanna trade?
