Time Stand Still

There are not enough hours in the day to accomplish all the shit we need to get done. Our second test on Friday is rapidly approaching, and it seems that new material is piled on faster than the old stuff can be learned. Monday morning we went over glycolysis as well as sugar interconversions. In anatomy we learned about the embryological development of muscle and bone, a lecture which I invited my friend and former anatomy lab partner Elizabeth to sit in on, as she has been interviewing at many different med schools. Abby and I had the afternoon off while the rest of the team dissected the vertebral column. Tuesday morning we covered metabolic regulation and the citric acid cycle in biochem for what must be the 8th time in our lives. Every time I think I will never need to know this shit again, there it is being taught once more. In our afternoon humanities group discussion we talked about ethical dilemmas, which naturally was an interesting topic. This morning was our second intro to Clinical Skills class where we learned how to record past medical history as well as medication and allergies. We have no more class between now and the exam, but Abby and I still have to go to the lab so that Mike, Caleb, and Bryan can teach us the vertebral column dissection. This exam will also be the first with an anatomy lab practical, which will cover all the dissections since class began.

Life needs a pause button.
