Microtubules, brachial plexus, and cadavers OH MY!

So this past week has been prep week for my block exams that I took today,  Monday September 30th. For those of you who don't know what blocks are I take ALL my exams, except my small credit classes this block, on one day starting at 8 am back to back until 4pm. I took histology, cell bio, anatomy written, and anatomy practical. I was BEYOND nervous! And clearly since it was an important week I got sick. I got the stomach virus which was going around campus which put me out for 3 days. I even had to take a quiz while sick, BUT still passed so oh well! I am finally feeling better which mean't I could focus on my exams! 

All of my classes are running together with overlapping information and I sometimes forget what class I am actually studying for! I also randomly think of things I need to know. For example: Nick and I were talking last night and he mentioned something and for some reason my brain went to the muscles of the hand. Not sure why, but that is how much information I have in my head that it just comes out at times! 

I am learning so much and have gotten to see some really cool things. I got to see what emphysema looks like human lungs, I got to see a pace make implanted and the conducted through the heart, what a triple bypass looks like (my cadaver's heart), and even what breast cancer looks like! I am so lucky to be experiencing this all. 

I start off my exams early in the morning with histology. That test helped to boost my confidence because I knew all of the material! I then had cell bio and anatomy written and practical. Those were a bit tougher. I get my scores tomorrow as I have checked and they are still not up! However I can breathe for the first time in weeks for only a day. I start new material bright and early with vital signs PD lab (scrub day for emma!) I also get to pick up my package from my mom which I am really excited about! Well I am sure once I get my grades and go through this week I will have more to say so until later this week!
