Class of 2015... How ya doing?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
must...find...focus and motivation...for histology.... ughhh! i can't wait to be done and to go home, but i am going to miss my beautiful tropical weather and my amazing ocean full of fish and corals while i'm gone
 
That's what it is here. All the professors call it histology but for some reason, it's officially listed as Microscopic Anatomy.

Our profs are vehemently against calling it histology because histology includes plants too. And we're not studying plants. 🙄

In other news, I'm scared out of my mind for our physiology final tomorrow. All I want for Christmas is a "C" in physiology. :scared:

what, as opposed to like microscopic phytotomy?

that's the dumbest thing i've heard... microscopic anatomy would also include bugs and fish and snails and clams and whatever, and we don't study those either...
 
THANK GOODNESS it's the last day of finals. I have completely worn myself out this week. I haven't actually "felt" a ton of stress this week because I've just been sucking it up and getting done what needs to get done, including eating like poo and having the most messed up sleep schedule EVER, i.e. sneaking in a couple hours of sleep here and there whenever I could manage. Last night at around 2 am my body finally gave out and as I was almost finished with my Epidemiology project I actually got sick-and when I tried to finish the project I LITERALLY couldn't keep my eyes open. I would start to write something down and halfway fall asleep and then not remember what I was writing. So I caved and let myself sleep for three hours, and now here I am, getting ready to finish the project before it's due at 9 am. Then I have an animal behavior exam at 1 and then I'm FREE. Well, pending I actually passed histology. I've never been more nervous about an exam in my life, and I'm just really, really hoping I didn't royally mess it up. Grades for that exam are supposed to be posted today, so I guess I'll find out :scared: Good luck to anyone else wrapping up their finals or getting ready to start them next week!
 
DONE!!! Donedonedonedonedonedonedonedonedonedonedonedonedone!!!!
 
Woo! Go celebrate! 😀

Heck naw!! I'm sleeping! Haha I'm skipping the SCAVMA party tonight so I can rest up for a party some classmates are throwing tomorrow night. Plus, it feels odd to party and celebrate when I am praying that I passed histo haha.
 
Haha then yes, I celebrated immediately upon returning home and will be celebrating again in the next couple hours!

I celebrate every night. And frequently during my classes.

Party animal.
 
I am thrilled. I got my histology final back today and ... maybe I owe it an apology. By some miracle I aced the lab portion. Best I can figure is one of the smart people in class put my name on their test, god bless their heart. I still can't say I "like" histology, but I feel at least somewhat better about it now that I rolled out of there with a good grade.
 
At this time next week I'll be drunk on eggnog and having Christmas dinner with my friends. Just 4 exams standing between me and next Friday...
 
done with semester 1!! woah! i was terrified i failed my histo final today after yesterday's completely failed study attempts, but not at all!

good luck to everyone who is still finishing-you can do this!!
 
Only 2 more finals to go. It's the final countdown (do do dooo do, do do do do do)

*smug face*

Just kidding. Congrats, LIS! 🙂
 
One more final for us. I'm exhausted

Breathe. We're almost there.

As a side note, doing relatively well in anatomy seems to be bad for my histology grade. I got cocky and then got burned on the written part of the final practical. Whereas when the midterm happened, I was so desperate to redeem myself that I overprepared. With my brain, I just can't win. *sigh*

Not gonna lie- the first 4 questions on the "identify this organ" blew me away. I think I managed to guess some right but not many. I did know what the vascular pole was though!:laugh:
 
test: "Identify"
me: dog
test: "Name this artery"
me: Steve

haaaaaaaahahahhaha. Love it.

Our anatomy prof told us that there was a question one year asking what one of the holes going through the diaphragm was, and some unfortunate soul answered "rectum."

I've had some rather embarrassing answers too, but I'm not sure what my prof thought of my "male vagina" answer. That was my failed attempt to probe "uterus masculinus" out from my brain.
 
This is how I've looked for the last 3 days:

😱.....(that's me - staring at my computer - rewriting notes for the last of all eternity)

5 days till our SIX HOUR final.........2 hours anatomy, 2 hours pathology/histology/radiology, 2 hours lecture material along with lameness exam videos....... I would totally be ok with those being spread out through out the week, UCD.....
 
Our parasit lab final asked for the name of the human pinworm as a bonus question.

I drew a complete blank and ended up putting "oxyuris humanii." Fail.
Then I left the exam, and talked to a few other people who all put the same thing, because "it sounded logical- like oxyuris equi." At least my fail made sense to others?
 
Well, I guess if I have to be listening to lectures at twenty to midnight the night before the final, I could do a lot worse than histology of the male reproductive tract. At least there are vaguely dirty jokes scattered in there every once in a while. 😉

Ironically, my nutrition final tomorrow is inclining me to stress/comfort eat. So far today I've had at least 3 cokes, McDonalds, mac 'n cheese, and chocolate.

With an orange thrown in to combat the junk food.

Eat a grapefruit, you'll feel instantly more healthy! Or a pomegranate if they're still around. Yum. Purple stained study materials are the best study materials.

Oh yeah. I hit the Taco Bell drive-thru of shame today.

Secretive eating of tacos in car may have occurred. 🙁

No shame here. Called the SO on my way home and asked him to go get Taco Bell. When I got home, I basked in the deliciousness!
 
I went to the grocery store yesterday to pick up junk food to keep me awake while studying. The clerk asked me how many people were coming for the party....🙄

Haha, that's like when my coffee machine was broken so I went out and got a box of joe to last me the night... and the clerk was like, "you having an office meeting this late at night?" as he loaded up a bag with a ton of paper cups.
 
Even though your practical was kind of difficult, I still love you, histology.

I just need some space right now, though.

Just a few more left to go. I really could have done without some recent news, but at least I found out after our tests today 😡

🙁 Just remember that you are the the BRAIN MASTER and don't even need to study anatomy because you're so great.
