Anatomy Week

I haven't written much because I haven't been experiencing anything worth writing about. But now I do! This week I am devoting my life to anatomy. I have a written and practical test on Friday....and I am no where near being ready. I am still feeling overwhelmed by the fact that I have to know so much. It seems daunting, but I can hope and pray that things will come together in time for the exams.

I spend two hours in lab today then I decided that after supper I'd head on over to the gross lab on my own to get some one-on-one with a cadaver. I had the idea that this would help me identify structures. Well, I don't know what was wrong with me, maybe it was what I ate for supper, but my stomach (and gag reflex) was NOT digging being in anatomy lab. Honestly, I am usually pretty good about the stench of enbalming chemicals and mould prevention substance, but I couldn't hold back my gagging and tears. Yes, they were even making my eyes water! Needless to say, I packed up my stuff and headed back to my apartment where I am (well should currently) be going through some essential nerves (ie brachial plexus) so that I learn something. Ugh, how I hate the smell of anatomy lab!!!!!!!!

Well, off to learn brachial plexus nerves. Heck, I always wondered about the brachial plexus, how it branches, what it innervates, etc. hahahaha :)
