Greetings everyone,
As promised I received my grade for my histology test.
I got an 86 on the test and I also have 3 extra credit points which gives me an 89 in the class so far. My final neuroscience grade is 87. So hooray for me! So I’m doing great. There’s still room for improvement. I’m so close to an A. I can taste it.
I’m taking my second neuroscience test this Friday. My first anatomy written and practical test next is Wednesday. And my second histology test is the following week sometime. I’m not sure because I just take my test one week at a time. So I won’t get overwhelmed.
So what am I studying for now? Mostly neuroscience because that’s the next test that is coming up. Some anatomy because that’s a big test on a Wednesday so I don’t have a whole and a weekend to studying it. A little bit of histology just to be ready for the pop quiz.
Typical days for me Monday-Thursday is get up and arrive at school around 9a or 10a it depends on what my lecture is that day. We have lectures up until 12p. We break for an hour and resume lectures or lab till 4p. I do whatever I need to do for about 2 hours (working out, shopping, eating, etc.). Then I go to the library to study from about 6p till about 10:30p. I’ll only really break for long times on Thursday for Grey’s Anatomy but I’ll start studying an hour earlier. I’m in my apartment by 11:15p. Go to sleep and do it again. Or sometimes I stay up for about an hour or two and do more studying. I know you’re thinking wow do you get any free time. Yes, on Friday nights. I call it “date night” because that the night I go out on a date with my boyfriend which helps keep my mind off of school.
My weekends are random. Whatever I didn’t do all week like clean, cook, wash clothes, food shopping happens on the weekends. And of course I attend worship service and Sunday school. I go to bible study on Tuesdays during my lunch break. I also study during the weekends too.
So this has been my life for the last five weeks in a nut shell. Sleep-Eat-Lectures-Lab-Studying-Sleep-Eat-Lectures-Lab-Studying-Grey’s Anatomy-Sleep-Eat-Lectures-Lab-Date Night-Sleep… Ok, ok you get it. For the most part it’s not very fun as you can see. Podiatry school is very demanding. Please don’t take it lightly. Speaking of demanding I have to go neuro is calling me!!
Bye, bye
I wanna give a shout out to my lil sista "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIL SIS!"
