Back in the Groove

Is anyone else having a hard time being back at school this week?

My anatomy instructor ruthlessly filled my brain full of details about the digestive system today, not taking any time to "ease" me back into the swing of things. Alas.

I was dismayed to find we were not getting our lab test results back today. We took the exam a couple of days before break started, and I've been dying to know how I did. I know I missed two really, really simple questions because I wasn't paying full attention.

My study partners, and the teacher herself, accused me of being an overachiever and of being too hard on myself. The instructor jokingly threatened not to give me my results for an entire week!

I know I'm hard on myself, but since I'm going into a profession where someone's physical health may depend upon my knowledge and skill... well, I feel somewhat obligated to learn the material and to learn it well. I don't want to simply slide through and pass - I want to be good at it!

Anyhow, I am made of brain-fry right now; I'm sorry I don't have much interesting to say. I'm sort of sludgy at the moment - but I'll find something to write this week.

I promise.
