Almost There

Today I took my two hardest exams. When I looked at the exam schedule initially, I saw that Microbiology and Anatomy were on the same day. I knew right then that the only breaks I would be taking were to stop studying one science and study the other until I could hop back into the first. That definitely proved to be true. Yesterday my tummy hurt from all the coffee I had to drink to maintain wakefulness and all the stress that was on my shoulders. I couldn't even sleep last night because pathogens and viruses kept invading my head. Thankfully I got a full 3 hours eventually!

The past week I made note cards, jotted down bacteria, remembered viruses and vocab words, took quizzes, summarized and whatnot for these two finals. Yesterday I asked you to guess how many pages in my notebook were for this Micro test.

Here's your answer, 30.

Not to mention an abundance of flash cards to help me remember all those diseases!

Well, now that it's all over I'll take a break from my cleaning duties and tell you about the end of these two classes.

Microbiology- Dr. Carlson

This class was incredibly difficult. The material was very interesting and I enjoyed learning about the microbes of the body. I would have enjoyed this class a lot more if I knew that the upcoming test I would be given wouldn't be so hard. Dr. Carlson is a cool guy-mostly because he's from Wisconsin and appreciates the farmers and Badgers in that great state. He is also overjoyed with Biology, something really cool to see. I hope I can be as passionate about my job someday. Some things I will remember forever from this class are:

• WASH YOUR HANDS.
• lactobacillus
• we should fall to our knees and praise God for little bitty things working inside of us to make us so fearfully and wonderfully made

Anatomy and Physiology- Dr. Boomsma

You may remember that this semester started out with a different prof for this class. I am so thankful to have had Dr. Boomsma come back to teach us the second semester of Anatomy. This semester of Anatomy was a lot harder than the previous semester. One thing I can tell you about this class is that there are SO many hormones. The semester started and ended with hormones. Hormones that deal with pregnancy, growth, maturation, this, that, everything, nothing, so.many.hormones. The final was pretty hard, mostly because of an abundance of hormones.

Pretty soon my Mom and Dad will be here to pick up a bunch of stuff for me, not everything could fit in the black beaut Toyota. I only have one exam tomorrow and then I will be on my way back home!
