Was so spoiled last term.

And here I was complaining that I should have more classes this term since I didn't think that three was enough! HA! I am up to my ears in work! I just got done filling out a TEN page exam review for Monday's huge exam on the urinary system. If you fill out this review, they give you 10 points extra credit. I will TAKE those 10 points, because those little points can mean the difference on missing a couple of questions on the actual exam. I have to have all of this memorized for the exam, and I don't know how in the world I am going to do it. A lot of it is just medical terminology which will be a breeze, but I have to do a lot of explaining on the formation of urine, and all of the filtering processes it has to do before it is considered urine. I have to explain the different types of dialysis, and the processes of what dialysis does, and I have about 50 abbreviations to memorize. Oh, and I have a pretty big test tomorrow on medical coding. OYE! Not fair! We got one week to learn all about the urinary system, and we get an exam on it? Next we move into the reproductive system..one of my favs..but if we are to learn every single thing about one system in the body in just one weeks time, what in the world is the final going to look like? My guess is that it will be at least 20 pages long. I HAVE to get an A in this class, I have no choice. I want my GPA to be as high as to a 4.0 as I can get if I want to get into nursing school without having to do all of the dang letters of recommendations that they require if you have a lower GPA. And by lower GPA, I am talking 3.5. They are hella strict, and I want to be able to get in without any problems.

I didn't realize how easy I had it last term. I might as well have been going to playschool every day, as so far, every day this term has kicked my ass hard. I am back to being up at 6am, and once I get to school, it is non stop hammering info down our throats, and we have to hurry, hurry so we can move on to doing the next thing on the agenda. I like fast paced, but this is insane! I am so going to reward myself once this term is done, and I have a long eight weeks to go! YIKES!
