in control...

hey peoples :-)
i feel good today. I am very tired but I feel relaxed.
You all will probably remember that when the semester started I was in a bit of a panic because this block i am doing in school has the highest failure rate, and because I had gotten a very demanding tutor for PBL. Well, that has not changed. The tutor (who is the convenor for the particular block we are in) was pretty cool the first session, but I am sure that he will be much more demanding this coming session (thurs.) when we actually present our findings on the first problem. He is also our physiology lecturer and he uses slides with microscopic print so that i am unable to read what the slides say lol. Therefore, to get the notes, I borrow my friends' notes and take my free time and copy it over. That is what I did today while i was waiting for my lab rotation. i thought I would have the time to relax because today was a long one and i thought I might even blog from the school library, but instead I was writing notes, but i was liming with the friends at the same time and that's always fun. well it was today anyway lol.
i think the reason i am cheerful is because the work thing is coming along a little bit. I got through the anatomy and physiology lectures and though i dozed off a bit during the anatomy video, the lab went pretty well and much better than I was expecting! Now, as to that video...that was sooo lame lol. It is just too much information too fast. i don't think anyone absorbs much during it. I talked to some other people about it and they said the same. They also said they dozed too :-P and one girl even walked out in the middle lol. It really cant be helped though so I have realised the important thing is not to let it get you too worried if you dont keep up. Just read the textbook and use the atlas and you will get it with lots of practice. Finally, I think I have found a reasonable way to learn anatomy!!! Here' hoping it works out lol. I think out of all the stuff in medical school the anatomy may be the hardest for me, but i cant ignore it so I am trying to get better at it.
Dad is at a function at the President's House! He has to work late again but at least he gets to go somewhere cool lol.
Tonight, I am going to read physiology because this block is mainly physiology, and I have alot of it to learn. I am also going to try to get some more sleep tonight so i won't fall asleep in the day tomorrow lol. We have community health outreach tomorrow in the morning and I dunno what that will be exactly but it doesn't sound too hard lol.
Thursday morning I have PBL, but tomorrow night we may go out to dinner (cause we haven't taken rick out to celebrate his scholarship yet due to dad's work and stuff) and so I have done most of my PBL already instead of waiting for tomorrow night :-D. And, I think I am most proud of that! I know it seems obvious lol, but it really does make me happy lol. So, I will try to finish that up and I will be all set, hopefully.
It feels good to have stuff somewhat in hand instead of rushing and being worried all the time.
Hope you all have a good day tomorrow!
Laterz.
