I spent a little too long getting out of bed this morning. Just a little so I was rushing to get to my aerobic's class. I biked to the train and took the train 8k. I made it to the class with seconds to spare. Unfortunately, I didn't have the right shoes so I wasn't able to do the class:( On the bright side I did get to study for an extra hour. I made big plans to go running this evening but things kept delaying my study plans so I substituted my run for studying instead. It occurs to me that I haven't adequately explained myself. I have a large exam on Friday. It covers back and neck anatomy as well as the entire neurosystem in detail. From nerve tracts, to pharmacology, to stroke. I got second honors on my last exam so I wouldn't be too concerned about my abilities except that since I did so poorly on my web page assignment, I need to have high honors in this subject. Then they'll classify me as a nerd with no people skills and make me do remedial social activities:) So I've been studying my butt off(i mean on). Speaking of which, I alluded to it yesterday but I have also found an exam diet. It seems like a hoax but it keeps me from making unhealthy choices while studying. All it does is add in vitamin rich foods at strategic intervals to keep the studier mentally alert. So, I snack on bananas instead of chocolate. I have no idea if it'll help my grade but it is keeping me from getting the too much study slump that normally occurs around this point. Once again we spent lunch studying. This time we had 2 whole hours and were quite productive. Each person took an area and acted as the point person on that subject and explained the topic as questions arose. Another thing that has really helped me study is that I can download podcasts of my lectures so that I am able to listen to them on my ipod while riding to class. Don't worry, one ear only and not while I'm on major roads.
Unfortunately I don't have any good diagrams from today although my brain is beginning to look more realistic:)
On a very exciting note, thanks to Dad, Skype, and united airways I am able to visit at the end of June. I'm sure it will be a busy week full of jet lag. I'm just happy that in between studying I get to make plans for being home.
