Day 11 - Feeling the Pressure

I could really use an extra 12 hours each day to do nothing but study and absorb all the material I'm being fed at school.  I thought of using this blog today to help me review for a "muscle game" we're going to have in Anatomy tomorrow.  We just need to know every muscle we've studied so far and how to spell their names correctly.

I had a hard time staying awake in school today in spite of a decent albeit shortened nights sleep due to watching the super bowl last night.  Today classes consisted of philosophy, spinal analysis, anatomy lecture and spinal anatomy.  Spinal Anatomy is getting rather intimidating - today we were going over the names of the tiny ligaments that hold different vertebrae together.  Anyway, I need to get a review down of the muscles learned thus far -
