Another Day Of Tests

Well...........
Think I did almost as well on the lecture exam lab practical as I did last testing week.

The lecture exam started an hour before the actual class (that much material). Yikes! Not sure how early final exam will start!

The lab practical was really fun. The professor sets up stations with various models with flags on them. We go to each station and name (label) each flag on our answer sheet. Hilarious tripping over each other, waiting for the station, feeling the tension in the air, and watching the thinking.....

This time we covered and were tested on all the muscles, tissues, cartilage, brain, eye, ear, disorders and diseases relating to each of the mention (including seizures--that part wasn't fun reliving) and a lot of nerves and nervous system. Wow people, I am not studying to be a nurse! Last 3 weeks, spent lots of time in the college's library (WHAT?!!?) and studied lots of plastic body parts. Today we had 3 hours between tests so we grouped up with a few friends and CRAMMED some more!

Found out there are a lot of people doing a lot worst in these classes. Sadly, they are blaming the teacher. That's not particularly fair. She grades fairly and covers the material. She has GREAT stories and her tests are multiple choice (no grabbing the answer out of thin air and holy moly -- no spelling to remember!!!!!!!! I have enough trouble remembering how to spell "Seminiferous Tubules", forget during a test).

To be honest I AM LOVING EVERY MINUTE. I am so glad for this opportunity! Now that things are easier at home and I have a lot more free time it's a thrill to be learning again.

Well, thank you for stopping! Hope you check in sometime next week (when she might have the tests graded).

PS
Now off to make a paper mache version of the bottom of the sea for a class project.

Another Visit From Mother-In-Law

I think it's nice that we get these short-term visits from my mother-in-law every few weeks.

She'll be moving in with us, soon (next summer is the tentative deadline) and when that happens, we will already have her incorporated in our daily routine. She is happy that when it's too hot in Florida for her to stay, she has a place where she's welcomed and a "Part of something", as she put it.

We will definitely reap many bonuses having her. She was the oldest of 8 children so she can cook like there's no tomorrow and I LOVE that! She also raised 5 children of her own so she knows her way around a sewing machine and has creative solutions for most things!

Teehee, she thinks she's lucky to have us... shhhh!

Victory Park -- Occupied.

"Occupy Wall Street" has spread to NH! They are calling it Occupy New Hampshire. Interesting to see what's going to happen next. (Wonder what really can happen next? What exactly can Wall Street do?)

Very Nice Uke Cover

One of my Favorite Over The Rainbow ukulele covers. Hope you agree.

Great Day With The Girls

Really had a nice day with my daughters today. We cleaned for their grandmother's visit but for some reason, it didn't feel like the old tired chore it's usually like!

Days such as today will be memories I will always cherish. Thank ladies!

Happy Birthday, Uncle Jim

I feel like I just lost you yesterday and not 8 years ago. (You so easily and readily slipped into my father's role when your brother died... and have left an equally painful void in my heart, when you too died.)
