Week....I've lost track

I'm not quite sure what to say at this point. All I've done this week is study. Ashley's mom and grandma came to visit this week, and they couldn't have picked a better week. I have been away from home most of the time. We have four exams this week. Monday morning is our last Physiology exam. It covers the GI system, reproduction system and something else that I can't remember right now (that doesn't bode well for tomorrow).

Tuesday we have an Anatomy exam covering the thorax, heart and neuroanatomy. To prepare for the neuroanatomy portion we dissected brains in lab. We had a neuroanatomy specialist give three lectures on the topic and help in lab with the dissection. It was very interesting, but very hard to learn.

We also have a microbiology "quiz" on Tuesday. I put quiz in quotes because from what I hear it is more like an exam than a quiz, but that it what they call it. We just began the micro unit and have two lectures still to come on Monday that will be included on the Tuesday quiz.

Thursday we have our History and Physical Diagnosis mid-term exam. We have covered the skin, hair, and nails; eyes, ears, and nose; throat and mouth; half of neuro; chest and heart. This will be a written exam and cover more of just the practical part of it.

I spent all day yesterday studying, and took the evening off to watch Eliza and Sarah while Ashley, her mom and grandma went to the women's conference. The girls were terrible for me. Neither of them had a nap earlier in the day, so they were pretty messed up. I couldn't get either of them to bed until after the women came home. I have a little bit better idea of what Ashley goes through all day while I'm at school.

I will feel pretty good once this week is over. We have two tests the following week and the week after that we only have class on Monday and Tuesday and the rest of the week of for fall break, and I really need a break.

I've made it sound pretty bad. It's hard because of the time that we have to put into it. I'm still enjoying it, though. It will all be well worth it. Plus I spent two years praying for it and so I can't really complain. And the Lord is helping me through it now.
