In other news - I got an 82.5% on my Spinal Anatomy test today ...rough class - lots of study and not such spectacular grades ...well, I guess that isn't too bad. In most universities that score would be a B but at logan we need an 83 or 84% to get a B, maybe if the teacher rounds up then I'll have a B. Fairly respectable.
I had gross anatomy tutoring yesterday and learned a lot about the arteries in the arms and forearms ...kind of tricky stuff. Some arteries are called recurrent which means they make a U-turn and travel back up the arm. Arteries which continue down the arm can be called "collateral".
I thought about this for a while, then found a way for it to make sense to me. I was thinking about rivers and running with the current and figured to turn around is to travel against the current ...hence, re-current - against the current. It works in my head anyway :)
I'm really happy about getting those flashcards. I'd also like to get a full skeleton and a bag of vertebrae bones. The vertebrae bones have been selling fast in the bookstore but I'm hesitating on the $40 price tag.
Having a bit of extra money does make things a lot nicer. I think about that when I consider selling my home and know that I've got over 20% equity which would make for a very nice cushion - big cushion, plenty of money, less than 10 minutes from school ...sounds nice ...maybe I could spend occassional evenings at my parents house in their spare bedroom on weekends or once a month or something like that.
I could sure reduce a lot of expenses and I've still got a tad over three years left at Logan ...pardon my language but that's a hell of a lot of driving and it isn't exactly doing anything for my health. My legs have been hurting and it's starting sometimes to get painful.
oh well - on to Anatomy studies before bedtime! :)
