they're all in

and it's all good news :D

100.5
Just imagine this guy sitting at a desk and that is what I looked like

Booyah!! All of those 3 hour sleep nights most definitely paid off and I have to admit, I can't be happier to say that my lowest grade of those four exams was a 97.  To say that I'm uber happy would be an absolute understatement.

good news! :D

Oh man.  3 day weekend was pretty much consumed by this Core paper that I had to write, which, still isn't finished and is due tomorrow (oops).  It's almost done, and when I say almost, I really do mean almost.  I only have about another page to type up for this bad-boy and then I can call it a night, and so tomorrow during my FOUR HOUR BREAK I can work on my lesson plan for this week's SI session, and maybe get some MCAT stuff in there.  Probably won't happen, but it's good to be ambitious once in a while, right?

Well, of my exam grades last week, I got 3 of them back so far, and I have to wait until Friday to get the 4th one.

Physics (which you already know) - 97
Embryo lab - 99.5 (she took off half a point, because all I said was bridge, and she wanted more, but she only called it a bridge? *shrugs* I'm still awesomely happy with the grade)
aaand Calc - 100
BOOYAHH

Waking up at 3am and feeling like absolute shit that day was definitely worth it, but hopefully for the next set of exams I won't have to do that because I'll have more than just a day to study for each of them.  We shall see.

Survived this week!!

Oh man, I didn't think I'd make it, but I DID :D!!!

This week was absolutely crazy, because of all the tests, I had about one day to study for each exam, which, believe me, was not all that fun.  I think I averaged about 4 hours of sleep each day, and the latest I woke up last week was 5am.  Oh how nice it was to wake up with the sun shining in my face yesterday morning and today.  Overall, I think I did pretty damn well on all of my tests this week.  Physics I already know I got a 97, which I better have.  She made that test wayy too easy.  Calc wasn't too bad either, mostly because the test questions came exactly from the suggested exercises he assigned.  Too bad those math majors in my class had "no time" to do them.  Their loss.  Embryo lab exam and lecture exam I'm still kind of iffy about, but nothing that I'm too worried about I suppose.

Will let you know what happens when I get all of them back.
But, hey. Good news. After last week. THREE DAY WEEKEND BABYY

Almost through with Hell week #1

Well, I'm in my second full week of classes this week, and I've already forgotten what sleep was.  Sleep just keeps running away from me and it won't let me keep it company.  Not really sure why, but even though I am absolutely exhausted, I didn't even get to really sleep the 3 or 4 hours that I gave myself.  First tests of the semester always scare the hell out of me, and I guess having 4 first exams in one week isn't really helping. I managed to get through the Physics test in one piece, our professor made it easy for us because it was Valentine's Day.  There was just ONE thing that I know for sure I screwed up, but what can you do.  My Embryology lab test today was very straight forward, I just kind of BSed my way through one of the questions, but I think I did a decent job coming up with an answer that seemed appropriate. We'll see how much my teacher likes my awesome BSing abilities.  She seemed to like them very much when it came to my paper about the evolution of the placenta, so I'm guessing that I'll be good and dandy.
Probably going to be getting our physics test tomorrow, and I still have a Calculus test and my Embryology Lecture test coming up.  Tomorrow I have a day off from exams, but because my Calc teacher decided to teach new stuff today that will be on the test on Thursday, I gotta get a move on.  Hopefully tomorrow during my four hour break I'll be able to get through this stuff.

Almost there!
Oh.  And it's supposed to hit 60degrees on Friday yayy :D

Full Steam Ahead

It's February 7, I can NOT believe it.  I feel like I just started school yesterday.  But that's pretty much how quickly the semester started off, with reading, homework, papers and the stress.  I guess it doesn't really help that I've also been trying to balance all of my school work with studying for the MCATs, which, so far, it's going a whole lot better than I thought I would do once school started, but I'm actually doing pretty okay.  The stress level is slowly rising, partly because we've had what seems like 478903249302 snow days already.  I have yet to have a full week of school, this week marks the beginning of what may be our first full week of classes.  But because of all of these snow days, exams and due dates are pushed back a week, which definitely does not help my problem because, well, that means all of those exams and due dates are now pushed into weeks of other exams and due dates. Wonderful.  2 weeks from now will probably be my first very high stress week of the semester.

So my classes are:
Physics II - which has already amounted to the same nonsense that I had to deal with last semester, and I've managed to be very productive in class.  I study for the MCATs, and believe me, I'm better off because the professor just confuses everyone anyway.  I went over all of the homeworks this weekend, and I seem to understand the material much better than the people who have actually paid attention to class.
Beyond 9/11 - probably one of the most interesting classes I'll take at this school, and it's being done very nicely, a lot of discussion, and we're allowed to share our opinions and participate, which makes the two hour class go by very very fast, which is very good since I really hate night classes, and this is a night class.
Calculus II - I think I'm enjoying this class more than any of the classes I'm taking now.  Mostly because I'm learning Calculus, and mostly because I'm doing damn well in it.  And frankly, it feels good.
Embryology - this is a whole other animal than Comparative Anatomy was, and I didn't think would be this difficult, but of course, my professor finds a way to make my life absolutely miserable and difficult.  Between not knowing how to pronounce half of the material, and just not knowing the material, is making it quite difficult to learn, but I'm picking it up, slowly but surely.

First exams are coming up, and of course I will keep you updated.

But, I'm starting to get kind of pumped about medical school because I've started looking into different medical schools, so I've started looking into their requirements, and I am VERY glad that I'm taking this second semester of calculus, because one of the schools that I'm looking into (can't remember which one) requires a full year of calculus.  So all I need to do now is harass all of my professors for letters of recommendation, get them in, start working on my personal statement, oh yeah, and pwn the MCATs :)
