84% Might as well be an F

As you all know, I just had a test in anatomy on the muscles. My group and I studied for 16 hours in 3 days plus the other numerous hours we spent studying the muscles at other times. When test came I was sure that I aced it. I just knew that I got in the high 90's, after all my lowest test score so far was a 93% and I studied the most for this one. I was pretty sure that I got a 98%, I remembered one that I knew I got wrong. I couldn't wait to get my test back...

Well We got our tests back today in the lab and I only got an 84% I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad. I think one of the worst feelings in the world is knowing you did your best and your best just wasnt good enough, well I had A LOT of that feeling inside me. I am not proud of this, but i got so angry that I ripped my test, crumpled it up, threw it on the floor and I think a little steam was coming out of my ears. It was like in cartoons where their face turns red, their ears start steaming and in some cases their head actually explodes! I was almost there.

I have been getting so burnt out in this class, I was looking forward to getting this test back to give me a boost to keep going, to show me that if I put in the work when it gets hard it will be worth it and I will be rewarded... Well that is NOT what happened, I am more discouraged than ever and now I just want to make it through and have this class be over. I have another test coming up tomorrow and Thursday on the Nervous system, Senses and Endocrine system... I can only hope to do even half as well on this test as the last because the material is much harder and my motivation is about 1/300th of what it used to be.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

BRAINS! My first anatomy lab presentation.

As all of you know, I am a slave to Human Anatomy... Last week I spent 20+ hours with my study group just studying for one test (on thursday)... Then it was on to studying and preparing for our lab presentation on the cadavers (today, tuesday). We had to present on the Central, Peripheral and autonomic nervous systems. Rather than digging around in the bodies to find nerves, the girls in the group opted to present on the brain... There was no pleasant option, just the lesser of two evils.

So we went to the lab Monday night to go over what we needed to know with the Tutors... It smelled bad, it looked gross and worst of all it felt gross! Just thinking that that was a real persons brains and at one point the conductor of all their thoughts and actions in life freaked me out.... Well I'm thankful its over, glad I had the experience because I learn better from hands on experience... if u have any questions about the anatomy of the brain... let me know.

But definitely not looking forward to our next presentation.. the REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.. Duh duh duh... Playin with Dead peoples private parts does not sound appealing... I was always taught we weren't supposed to touch people there.. That's what i'm gonna tell Dr.G..
