2nd Year Woes

Everyone said 2nd year is the worst year - is it possible to agree without sounding like a Negative Nancy?  If so, I agree x1,000,000... and then some.

Spring 2014:
21 Tests in 18 weeks.
2 Presentations in front of the whole class
1 Project that is pass/fail for the entire class
1 Paper
 ..and last but not least, I have to collect 10 poisonous plants and make a display of them.

Now let's break that down even more:
2 tests per week from now until Spring Break

This week:
Monday: Pass/Fail Radiology Project Due
Tuesday Morning: Class Presentation
Tuesday Afternoon: Clinical Pathology Test
Friday: Systemic Pathology Test

Now, so I'm not a complete Negative Nancy (because I'll admit it, I am being one) let's talk about all the great things happening...

This month I started the #WeddingBody2014 plan.. which involves doing the Couch-To-5K program.  I'm only on the second week, but so far so good!

I've enjoyed some absolutely BEAUTIFUL springtime weather.

And I've been learning how to suture in Special Interest Anatomy! Can't say I'm very good - or that I really know what I'm doing.. but I'm getting much more coordinated with the needle holders and forceps and don't feel completely ridiculous using my left hand to do things... just a little ridiculous :)

1st Attempt :/
2nd Attempt - much improvement!
Right side: 1 week later, trying to remember; Left side: 1st attempt at continuous suture.

"Oh, were you trying to read that?"
