1 down, 7 to go

Raise your hand if you can not believe one semester is over. In that time we have taken 16 exams! I won't tell you how many multiple choice questions that is. We've finished biochem, pop med, genetics, anatomy, and the occasional FCM. Thankfully, there were moments last semester that made all the pain bearable.

Any given day, I would walk into anatomy lab, in the evening, dazed with how much I didn't know. Lab was just not enough time to learn it all. As good as the Sholley trolley was, I actually rode it infrequently. I'm not tall enough to casually lean over and see what Sholley is pointing at (:: shake fist at Michael Joyce ::).

I actually preferred hovering around Goudas myself. Although he spoke as fast as a hummingbird (he repeats everything 10 times, so it kind of evens out), he slowed down for the most important part, his famous quotes that made me think so much, it was hard to focus on the mundane stuff. Like the 12321 #%$ holes in the skull!

Krieg was a character too. Ever notice that Dr. Krieg constantly furrows his eyebrows? It's like every structure in the body is worthy of a shakespearan drama. "Ah, the anterior belly of the digastric" (dun dun dun, ::zoom in on the dramatic expression of his face::)

Anyway, there was a definite pattern to anatomy.
1. Walk into anatomy lab after hours with the hope of not leaving till you know it all.
2. Change into scrubs and wince as the initial hit of formaldehyde hits you.
3. Feel dirty cause you realize you touched things before you put gloves on.
4. Put gloves on and dive in.
5. Start to panic a little because there is SO MUCH to know.
6. Ask someone a question, next thing you know, you have a partner in the struggle.
7. Ask someone else the question. Not only do they tell you, sometimes they go out of their way to teach you even more.
8. Feel so thankful that they are so kind.
9. Feel devastated when they say they gotta go. But, you can do it on your own now.
10. Another dazed classmate walks in and they ask you a question.
11. Suddenly the student becomes the teacher.
12. Repeat
