Back to our regular programming

*One of the those post-exam posts that is completely random/ Holy... Long Post.*

Post-Exam Life Catch Up:

Welp, yesterday was the cardio exam. Which somewhat explains my absence... I've had a few things I've wanted to blog about, but I wouldn't let myself near my computer for fear of falling into the black-hole of the internet, seasons of Gray's Anatomy on DVD, and the fear of failing cardiology (won't find out till Wednesday or Thursday if my efforts were successful).

And as boring as it is, I'm going to comment on the exam: going into the exam I felt like everything was very logical and made sense. The problem is that I can sometimes make the wrong things seem logical. Hmm. Needless to say, I'm hoping it went well. General consensus (of friends) was that it was rough, and I don't know how I feel about it... I wouldn't describe it as horrible, I mean, it didn't leave me with a headache like the pharm ones, but I didn't walk out thinking that I did amazing either. AHH, Must. Stop. Analyzing.

Anyways, post exam I cleaned! Everything except vacuuming and laundry (which will be done tomorrow). This is a HUGE improvement over previous habits. But it might have also been me procrastinating.

What, you might ask, could I possibly have to procrastinate after finishing an exam? Oh, I had an assignment due for physical diagnosis by midnight. Granted, it's my fault for putting it off, but I was too stressed over cardio to even attempt said assignment. To make the procrastination worse, I went to see He's Not That Into You with a few friends (which was cute, but a complete chick flick with lines that even we laughed at as being completely ridiculous).

But I got the assignment done by midnight (or at least the quiz part, maybe not the reading - I couldn't focus, I was too tired) and went to clinical skills this morning to learn how to do the musculoskeletal exam*.

This was followed by the school's attempt at determining if spontaneous combustion is real, in the form of neuro pathophys. Oh. My. God! Are you effing kidding me!?

We had class till 5:30! We hardly ever have class till that late, and especially not on the day after a killer exam. WTF school?! To make it worse, we were apparently supposed to have relearned all off our first year neuroanatomy and done a self-study assigment in all our freetime between 5pm yesterday and 1pm today (umm, what?!). They jumped right into nerve lesions... wanting us not only to remember all the nerve tracts/anatomy, but the names and results of all the lesions. AH!

I mean, it would have been nice to have a little time to review pre-"walking the plank", or at least a lecture that quickly reviewed neuroanatomy. Anyways, I have a feeling neuro is going to be ridiculous... and not in a good way. Enter two weeks of hell. Boo.

Completely random:
1. New CD.

I've been wanting this CD for awhile... I've been in LOVE with "I'm Good, I'm Gone" since October-ish. And then I watched the music video for "Dance, Dance, Dance" and fell even more in love... and then heard a song randomly that I really liked only to find out it was by Lykke Li. So, I finally caved and bought it... and it wasn't exactly what I expected. But it's growing on me and I'm really being to like the rest of it. It's super indie meets a little jazz, at least that's my current definition (open to change).

2. Resolution's update.

I thought I would give you all a little update on my NYE resolutions (as it's been over a month) so here goes:

1. Work out at least M,W,F - Haha, who am I kidding. I've worked out once in the last month. Ooops... going to try it again (especially with the cruise coming up).
2. Make a real meal at least once a week - Totally knocking this one out of the ballpark. Score! And roommate loves it too!
3. Stop being an iTunes whore - Doing well, besides getting free music, the CD above has been my only purchase
4. Be better about reading my mail - Check! Getting way better at this... and paying bills on time.
5. Be a better student - Don't really know how to quanitate this, but I feel like it's a yes
6. Swear less - Umm... potentially, but not while I'm driving.
7. Gossip and pass judgment less - Only because I've become a hermit
8. Be a better friend... - Again, I've become a hermit (in an attempt not to have to deal with some situations with friends...)
9. Be more optimistic about life and myself. - Umm, situation mentioned above threw me off, but over I think I'm doing okay in this this department
10. Be better about cleaning - Oh. My. YES! I've been doing dishes within 24 hours of putting them in the sink**... and clean the apartment after both of the exams so far.

Okay, folks... Sorry it's super long and random... I guess that's all I got.

* I was super lucky and had the 2nd session, which meant I didn't have to be there until 10 am, instead of 8 am. Score!
** Believe me when I say this is a HUGE improvement.
