I'm drooowwwwnnnnninggggg!!
Anatomy and Physiology would be so much easier if the scientists who discovered all this crap gave everything a simple name to remember!
Oligodendrocyte? Hypothalamus? Epimysium? Medulla Oblongata? Fascicles?
Why is it necessary to create these ridiculous names?????
And there are sooooooo many of them!! Hundreds, if not thousands!! How is a simple person like myself supposed to commit them to memory? Not only remember the names, but what they do and how they relate to each other?
I DID, however, find lots of videos on youtube to help me *insert big smiley face here*. Videos by science teachers and medical students, all with different angles and differing presentation skills, some comedic, some boring, some fast and flowing and some really simple.
Finding the right video for each section of study is the tricky part and then fitting them all into the time that I have left to study .. all the while my brain in panic mode, knowing the time is limited.
BUT .. it is all self inflicted. I chose this course. I chose to procrastinate. I put myself in this situation, so I have to get myself out of it and just do the best I can.
As Adoring Husband advised this afternoon "Just keep applying yourself. It's all you can do."
So that's what I will continue to do for the next two days and hopefully everything will fall into place when I need it to.
Thank you for listening to my ramblings and complaints. You do realise that you will have to endure this for another three years??? Just sayin'.
Nite all.
I'm lazy and selfish and spend too much time on the internet. I love to be creative with photography and jewellery and sketching with pencil and pastels. I'm happier now than I have ever been and I love everything about my life ... where I live, my home, my fantastic grown up children, my lifestyle, my friends, my dogs and last but not least my wonderful adoring husband. Life is good!
Nice to see you!
Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.
Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.
Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**
Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!
So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!
Welcome to my dilemna!!
