Two New Lessons

Today, my second day in pharmacy school, two things really caught my attention. One was a suggestion from a professor. She reminded my class that our emails reflected ourselves. I know that I am one of the worst people when it comes to basic grammar and sentence structure in emails and in my blogs. So I am going to strive now to write my blogs using complete sentences from now on. This also may make reading my blogs, less like listening to my brain ramble and more like, well, correct English. (note: this does not mean I want people to critique my grammar)
My second lesson learned was that you never know who is reading your blog. I had begun to think that no one other than Dr. Copeland and my mother read my blog, but today I was very surprised to find out that one of my fellow classmates had read it. I was explaining how I use Moses (my tablet PC) to some new friends and one of them said, "Hey, I think I read your blog" I was completely shocked and taken back. He made the connection because I mentioned MSOP and how I loved Moses (again, my tablet's name). It really made me realize that you never know who is reading what you are posting on your blog. This emphasized my first lesson even further.
So far classes are going well. I am only slightly overwhelmed. I have my first test t/m on medical terminology, and I have been studying all night. Now I need to do some work for my Biochem class, and then I will be heading off to bed.
Hope all reading this have a great day t/m. Remember me at 1:00 (that is when I take my test)!!!

oh my gosh....my brain may just be fried...all day long i have been scanning in y physiology book, it's a big book, not as big as my biochem but still big...and i just finished...yea!!!!it only took me about 9 hours, pretty good i guess...but it is nice to have one book done...my goal is one more today ad then the big one sunday...while scanning i am trying to study some but it is kind of a challenge, so i took a break for awhile and watched bambi while scanning, it was nice, made me feel like i was 6 again, i like flower, he is my favorite....this week was also orientation, it was really good...i was surprised to see how tried i was after 2 days of listening to instructions and meeting as many people as i could...but i can tell that it is going to be a great year, a very hard year, but a great one....now, a snack before i start on book #2

ahhh, a break...i just needed to give my brain a break from studying my medical terminlogy....i have been at it almost the entire afternoon and need a breather....hopefully charles will be done with auditions soon and will call me to go get dinner...if not my brain may just explode....a few fun words i have learned that i feel i sould share with you all:

enucleation (ee noo klee AY shun)--excision of the eyeball from the socket

polydipsia (PALL ee DIP see ah)--abnormal state of excessive thirst

exophthalmos (eks off THAL mohs)--abnormal protrusion of the eyes

phlebectomy (fleh BEK ph mee)--excision (surgical removal) of a vein

poikilocytosis (Poy kih loh sigh TOH siss)--large irregularly shaped red blood cells

splenomegaly (splee noh MEG ah lee)--abnormal enlargement of the spleen

cholelithiasis (koh LEH lith EYE ah siss)-- generalized codition of gallstones

more to follow in the future....

Dr. Copeland would be proud....I am sitting on my couch watching gilmore girls and scanning in my medical terminology book into my beautiful tablet, moses (that's his name)....I'm hoping that by scanning my book in it will encourage me to study, I hope it works...I got my school schedule the other day and it is very intense, but I am excited!!! it is going to be a tough year but a great one...
