hello everybody. just wanted to let rob reed and jenn know i escaped my depressive rut that i told them i was in. they suggested i ride my bike to the store and get some food and make something to eat or go running. basically get outside.

so after watching angel eyes, which wasn't that good, i got some cool biking clothes on: nashbar shorts w/ chami, cannondale tank top and pearl izumi socks. then i rode my bike first to the bank to deposit money and then to blockbuster where i rented the virgin suicides and the yards. then to dillon's for groceries. i got a bunch of stuff for salad, some fake chicken, corn, other stuff and one bad thing, double stuff oreos. i limit myself to a basket but it was still a lot of stuff to carry on my back home. luckily it's not that far but i did have trouble riding in a straight line.

then i came home and put the groceries away and went out for a 50 min. run. then i lifted too. after my shower jonathan's friend john brought us a coffee table.

then i did dishes and made hamburger pie. so for dinner jonathan and i had the hamburger pie and a nice salad; i made it all myself. we just got done eating and it's about 11p. now i want to watch a movie and eat oreos. i didn't study today though. i'll have to put in a lot of time tomorrow.

miami is playing kc tomorrow so i have to watch that.

hi billy, i love you!

so i haven't written in awhile. i had a really stressful week with my gross anatomy lecture test #1 and lab test #2 yesterday. there was just so much material for each exam that i couldn't know everything. especially all the muscles, vessels, nerves, pleura, ligaments, and tendons i was supoosed to.

i got my micro test back and was disappointed to see i had a 79.3% which sucks cause it's also 0.7% from a B. therefore i didn't want to have a repeat or worse performance this week.

i just didn't have my stuff together though. i hadn't been reading the gross lab material before class cause i was always busy studying for the last exam. then i didn't know what was going on in lab and didn't get as much as i should have out of it. same w/ the lecture material. we had about a months worse of material and i hadn't looked at it since we went over it in class. i need some sort of schedule to review material on a regular basis. it's just hard to do when you have a test to study for every week.

i stayed up all night thursday studying. after lab i came home for dinner and studied there, taking practice tests online and going over my notes. jonathan was very helpful going through everything with me. then at midnight the both of us went to the lab to go over the dog. he stayed there with me until 2:30a quizzing me on the dog and also going over radiographs cause they'd be on the test too.

after he left i stayed there going over my notes and trying to learn as much as i could by 8a. at 6a dr. cash came in and was setting up the lab part of the test so i had to go across the hall to the lecture room. there were two others that stayed overnight and we just studied until the test at 8a.

the lecture part went okay. i knew i didn't do great but i knew i passed. after the exam the key was already posted so i went through it and think i got about a 78%. then i went to the lab for the next part of the exam. for me it was extremely hard. i haven't talked to anyone else so i don't know what they thought. i don't think i passed that part. luckily i did very well on the bones test so this will bring my grade down but i should be passing the class overall.

after the test i went to the cashier's office to pick up my loan check but they said next week, even though financial aid said this week. so i got some burger king to go home and relax and feel bad about my test. i watched some tv and feel asleep until 4:30p. i spent the rest of the day and night watching movies on tv. i went to bed around 2:30a and while i did get up at 7a to feed the dogs (they woke me up cause jonathan had ICU) i went back to sleep until 1p. now i'm just watching tv and writing this. i need to get back on track. i will do some studying today i hope and also workout cause i didn't work out last week.

Even in medicine, though it is easy to know what honey, wine and hellebore, cautery and surgery are, to know how and to whom and when to apply them so as to effect a cure is no less an undertaking than to be a [veterinarian].
