^ i accomplished absolutely nothing this weekend and now i will have to stay up all night tonight studying for monday's anatomy quiz. now i will be tired and cranky for the next two days and less able to learn the new material.

is it possible to exhibit self-destructive behavior with something as inherently constructive as studying? i think i'm doing that.

Head and neck anatomy blows hard.

Indeed.

Starting that now. I thought extremities was fun until the practical took me behind the woodshed for a beating.

Nice avatar, sun.

heheh, duly noted. i am trying a bunch of new ones

They split us into three blocks: 1. back + arm, 2. thorax abdomen, lower limb. 3. Head and neck. I would go back to the first or second block, anyday. It's hard to get a great mental picture of spatial structures in the neck, for me.

Yea, we had three blocks:
1. back + thorax + upper extremity
2. head + neck
3. abdomen + pelvis + lower extremity

GLAD IT'S OVER. 👍

Wow, I couldn't imagine being tested on all of those systems at once. Exams on single systems were tough enough.

 

[courtnes]

We had a similar system, only on a two-exam schedule.

I: upper extremity, lower extremity, back, thorax
II: abdomen, pelvis, head/neck

End of block was today, I am done with anatomy provided I didn't screw up the practicals too bad. 🙂

It was our only class for nine weeks, but dissecting every third day for that whole time AND learning embryo for it all at the same time = exhausting.

Oh, and each exam had 20% material from the previous section(s). Eek. Again, glad it's over. Though, biochem is BORING now... that and ethics til Winter Break!!

😱 that's insanity

Did I mention we were doing histology too? Our block lasted 12 weeks though, that seems to be a little longer than other schools.

Our blocks:
Thorax
Abdomen/Pelvis
Upper/lower extremities & back/spine
Head & Neck
With embryology integrated.

Our other course was histo/cell bio.

 

[Morsetlis]

Are you guys learning any physiology?

 

[Longshanks]

Next block have physio and biochem. Right before that starts though (aka right now) we're doing two classes: biostats/epi and preventive/community medicine.

I wish it was every third day. They have us alternate each day between anatomy lab and histology lab.

That's how we roll here, too. It was the only thing we were taking at that time, though.

Hey GC! How is school with double the geeklings? 🙂

 

[Geekchick921]

Not bad! I'm behind, but apparently so is everyone else so I don't feel as bad. 🙂

 

[courtnes]

Next block we do neuro for 1 month then physio for 2 months. It's a bizarre set-up, but I'm looking forward to both.

We have patient as a person/business of medicine/biostats/ethics mixed into every block, and sometimes a random lecture from other science disciplines.

 

[NickNaylor]

Our school-specific threads are gone.

I has a sad.

Aw man, I was hoping that one last waitlist was gonna pan out... but I guess it's officially over 🙁

 

[Isoprop]

GLAD IT'S OVER. 👍

You forgot to mention that they gave us 3 days to learn all of lower extremity. 👎

 

[NickNaylor]

Let me just say that I'm so fricken happy that we're moving on to biochem. This stuff is a joke compared to what I did in undergrad.

 

[Isoprop]

Amen. I'm taking naps everyday. I think I might pick up more hours at work. I finally cleaned my apartment.

 

[Morsetlis]

Biochem starts off easy. And then you get the 50 pathways bomb.

 

[Suncrusher]

after watching my little pony episodes all week i just learned a week's worth of material in one day. beast mode.

WTF?! HOW?!? Do you have a time turner?

if I did, I don't think Dumbledore and the Ministry would allow me to blab about it all over the internet, do you? 😉

Sun, between your status and your avatar, I'm a little worried about your emotional well-being. Maybe that pancake-only diet does bad things to your serotonin levels.

Serotonin: vasoconstrictor or vasodilator? PICK A SIDE

I'm guessing it's "the fear"

I have found that "the fear" can motivate you to accomplish some extraordinary superhuman things.

I realized that I have less than a year left to get my 5-year member badge. Damn, time flies.

God what is it about rain that makes it so hard to get out of bed in the morning?

Indeed. Gross and rainy in Chitown this morning.

But sunny now! Really makes you appreciate these moments, doesn't it.

I think someone should warn Trio that a man calling himself Mister PeePee has vowed to masturbate in every Starbuck's bathroom in NYC

Heinz has a limited edition ketchup that is mixed with balsamic vinegar. I don't like ketchup but that sounds really good to me!

DOOOOOOD, where can I get THIS? I saw this post on my phone and dropped by my supermarket--they don't carry this!

It started raining again around 6, I think. So you didn't miss much.

I'm having a hard time imagining what this tastes like.

Sucks about the rain, it was a beautiful fall day in LA. It was so fall-y, in fact, that the on-campus Starbucks sold out of pumpkin spice mix for pumpkin spice lattes 🙁 Life is hard.
