Just Tired
Well, the physiology exams are tomorrow. I'm not confident. There's so much information to cover, and I've got 12 hours until the exam. Admittedly, I hit a bit of a road block a few hours ago. There's only so much studying you can do in a given day. Well, only so much studying that I can do. Others are probably better.
I just have to make a 43 on these finals to pass (a point or two higher for neuro). I'm hoping very much that all the overlap from my classes will give me some memory of what I should know. I dunno. I'm just tired and am trying to keep my mind pure and want to go home. Just two more days of testing and I'm done with the semester.
Hopefully my study strategy of thinking that I'm definitely going to fail will help me pass. I'm just tired.

Uno Down, Threeo To Go
The neuro shelf was awful. Once again, the class before us had an easier exam. As they advised, we were expecting more neuroanatomy, but instead, there were hardly any pictures, and the ones that were there were difficult to identify. One question was asking which part was the beginning of the axon, and I couldn't figure out where in the picture the actual neuron was.
Anyway, that's behind me. Next I have to learn physio (and then neuro internal the next day). Studying primarily for the internal exam rather than the shelf, mostly because those should be easier points, since I've scored well on those test questions before already. I just have to make like a 43 on the combined exams. Even when I was failing the class, I made that high of scores. So hopefully I won't fail out.
In any case, I'll be in America in less than a week, and the wait is killing me.

Oh Hey
By the way, I'm alive. I made a 91 in FCM (Playing Doctor) class. Half the test was giving the MOCA exam that I used to give every day at work.
I have my first final tomorrow, the shelf exam for neuroscience. The TA said it was fairly easy, but they also said that about Biochemistry, and that shelf destroyed everyone.
I have a pretty good buffer (78 in neuro and 79 in physio), so I just have to make like a 44 on either one to pass. Or make a B to bump it up to a B overall, but we all know that that won't happen, 'cause that ain't my style.
Been trying to keep my mind pure. Been working out the proper amount, every other day. Haven't had a drink since last weekend due to constant studying, but I'll allow myself a beer to help me relax after tomorrow's exam. And maybe finish off my nice rum. But physio will be harder, so maybe not.
One week till I return to the States. Texas heat is over 100 degrees F these days, but they also have climate controlled areas everywhere that isn't outside. Anywhere in America is better than here. #carefulwhatyouwishfor
