Good late evening cyberworld! Tonight has been a very intense evening of class. Thursdays are one of my 2 Anatomy and Physiology I classes that I have each week. Due to our instructor's wife being in the hospital Tuesday, we did not have class. Therefore tonight was double the lecture, double the lab but in the same amount of time. I thought this unit of the class would be the easiest for me to pick up on but it isn't working out that way. We went over the Axial and Appendicular muscles. Do you have any idea how many muscles our body has? Over 700! That's on top of the 206 bones that we went over last week. I am doing ok in the class because I am carrying a B right now. I am concerned though because the tests are my weak point and next week we have our Unit 4 Exam worth 100 pts, the Lab Practicum worth 100 pts, and the Final Exam with 200 pts. My B could be out the window in a heartbeat with these exams. The other thing that concerns me about that is the Allied Health acceptance. for the nursing programs. It was indicated that basically if you don't get an A or B, you might as well forget about getting in and you only have 2 tries to meet the grade. I thought about dropping the course several times; but at this point it's too late. I couldn't have dropped it anyways because of my financial aide. All I can do at this point is pray and study as much as possible and hope that things will come back to me. I have so much homework in my other 2 courses as well that I feel like I am never going to be able to get ahead and get enough studying in. I am going to finish this post and get my favorite blog of the week turned in and go back to working on my paper that is due tomorrow for English. Then tomorrow I will finish and submit that paper, complete my assignments for my computer class, and begin studying for  A&P. It's going to be a long and stressful 7 days but I can't believe I am almost done with my first semester of college! I hope to hold up both of my A's in English and Computer. This has definitely been a learning experience for me and I will take the things I have learned into next semester which will be a whole new ballgame. This semester I took two online courses and one hybrid course (half online/half seated). Next semester all 13 credits are seated. College has been a brand new experience for me and I hope to learn more tips as I go.
