I lie.

So I know I said multiple times that you probably wouldn’t hear from me again until it was all over, but blogging is a highly effective way to avoid studying.

I am in the midst of finals mayhem and I have to say, it’s every bit as bad as was rumored.

The Nutrition final has been notorious for failing people… #1 reason that people fail 1st semester. Not because the subject is hard, but because our asshat of a professor prides on making our lives miserable. That’s my theory anyway. It wasn’t just his portion of the test that was hard although the entire exam was ridiculous from start to finish… questions were asked that were not emphasized in the lectures at all and some questions came completely from left field. You want to hear something funny? We learned about horse breeds — “This is a Standardbred (everyone looks at the picture), you see how its tail reaches the ground here and it’s mane is long… that’s a Standardbred.” Now imagine hearing that in a british accent and that’s what we learned about the Standardbred compared to the TB or the QH. Apparently, I used to own a Standardbred pony. Imagine that…

So that final was probably one of the worst tests I’ve taken in my entire life. I could have studied another week for it and would have taken it just as badly. I’m hoping when this is all over with that I was one of those annoying people who bitched and moaned about it for hours after but actually ended up with a good grade. I really hope that is me! I went into the test with an A for goodness sakes!

Anyway, so I finally got over Nutrition. Thus my retarded schedule began… Finals each day at 8 AM, eat some lunch and check some email, nap for most of the afternoon, study through out the evening and into the night, attempt to sleep (I’ve acquired this new study insomnia; my brain won’t shut off after I’ve studied and I hate it), wake up at 3 AM to look over some more notes and get ready to do it all over again… x 4 !!!

That last Anatomy test I took turned out well; A for Anatomy :) Tomorrow may not be as well, but I’m feeling burnt out. It sounds like most everyone else is too. Thankfully, Histo is last… I could probably just walk in and take the test and still be A-okay, but I won’t do that to Dr. Z — he’s been good to me this semester!

I have new plans for this blog come next semester… I’m going to try to use it to my advantage and share with you all what I’ve learned. It’ll be my online mother who asks “So, what did you learn in school today?” And maybe others can learn from it as well. Unfortunately, there is much to bitch and moan about before that will all happen.

Gotta go back to study mode. Wish me luck!

  1. Hang in there, girl. You know you are my #1 academic hero, right? So smart. You’re gonna do great, no matter what. It’s in your DNA!

    The part about the horse being a Standardbred killed me. You know I would have been the one raising my hand, ready to debate that whole topic. Can never keep my mouth shut….

    Miss you as always… hope you’re still diggin’ the pj’s.
