this week has been SO MUCH BETTER than last week! for starters, coffee is back in my life! totally makes life happier. and keeps me awake. and i'm used to the schedule and being in lecture. slowly falling back into the school groove. hallelujah!
this week of dissecting has been really fun! yesterday we attacked the brachial plexus and axillary region. who knew the armpit contained so much important stuff?! - the brachial plexus is a network of nerves that start near the neck and move towards the arm. they cross and get different names and are basically a confusing mess.
see what i mean?!? -- well, i made it my mission last night to get learn this! and after some help from my anatomy atlas, youtube, and about a million practice drawings, i got it :) - not sure why, but it totally made me feel accomplished. probably because it is the first thing i've really had to study in FOREVER.
today in lab we took apart the forearm. SO FUN. seriously - the 2 hour lab flew by! once the skin and fat are removed, you just keep finding ligaments and muscles and nerves and arteries and veins, etc etc etc - so it made for a fun dissection.
i know that next year is going to be insanely hard and very trying, but i'm feeling better about it now that i'm getting back into school mode and finding that i'm enjoying (most) of the material!
