I have a friend here in Savannah, Fran Abernathy, recently began teaching anatomy to college students interested in nursing. Apparently, they totally bombed on the first test. She was distraught, so she decided to give me a copy of the test for me to take--without studying for it.

I got like a 60--but mind you, I hadn’t studied;and my mom was reading me the questions and the multiple choice (four options) answers, so I didn’t exactly have a fair shot, not to mention about half of the subject material on the test has not been covered in our class yet.

Because of all of this, I realize that we are not the only ones who often find ourselves lost in the intricacies of the human body. To my comrades crawling through these four years of high school science and beyond, I salute you. To the freshman and sophomores in biology--hang in there, it just gets harder. To those stuck in stoichiometry--just round up and hope for the best, and to my fellow classmates in A&P--let us press on from the nervous system into the unknown wonders of the endocrine, digestive and respiratory systems with courage and honor…

I am supposed to tell you about what’s going on in class right now, so I’ll give you all a brief recap: we just got our semester finals back (a whopping 109 questions- and some of those included 20+ labeling items--and by the way, it’s not called your calf muscle, it’s called the gastrocnemius) and it seems like everyone did well. We just did our module 9 tests (peripheral nervous system) and will be dissecting a cow’s eye soon, hence the bovine anatomy. It was rather bizarre having the FedEx man bring me a box with specialty meats in it.

If this report seems rather scatterbrained and bizarre, it’s because I was told to follow suit with everyone else. Apparently February is like crazy month or something, hence Valentine’s Day. ‘Hence’ is a fun word to say too. I could tell you why we think it’s fun to say because of my recent and extensive training in the brain, but I won’t put you through that. Have fun, be good, study hard.
