You don’t say!?

We had a class in this earlier in the week. Attendance was poor (typical for “Personal and Professional Development” classes) but the description was EVERYONE in our class. If we’re this stressed out midway (nearly through actually) the first semester, what will we be like at the end of the fifth year?? Jeepers! Personally, I’ve been having parasite nightmares and other wake me up in the middle of the night for no reason but to make sure I only get 3 1/2 hours of sleep a night type dreams. It’s not like I have a hard enough time falling asleep to begin with (my room is too cold for me and the central heating gets shut down at 12p; WAY too early in my opinion!) but as I say, I’m so by far not the only one of us in this boat.

Had a most amazing lecture presentation this morning (”Examination Of…”) wrapping up the lessons in The Alimentary System. One of those classes that puts you back on track for why you are studying this information. Ah, yes. Some of you have been asking, what exactly has been covered to date? So here’s the quick list of systems we’ve learned since Sept.

“Core Topics”
(Histology)
Anatomy
Integument
Haemolymphatic
Intro to Nervous system
Endocrine
Immunology
Urinary
Cardio / Respiratory
Alimentary

also,
Parasitology
Epidemiology
Statistics

Oh, and Metabolism (which could be part of Alimentary but is biochem and kicking my ass.) So - not that I know it all but that is what I’ve looked at.

ETC. But that gives you a basic idea.

Off to study. Tah!
