I am absolutely numb from just reviewing the first chapter in my Anatomy book.  We are required to know the first 300 pages in our textbook in addition to diagrams.  As I was reviewing my notes from day 1, the first thing that popped up in my head while testing myself on naming the tissues in the body was to say, Kleenex, Americas choice, …………

Its one thing to have to memorize one chapter but eight chapters is a bit much.  I’m trying not to stress over this but its not easy.  I want to do well but why do I have to prove it through a test?  I mean, afterall, I can fail a test but still have learnt a great deal.  Its just mind boggling and I will have much more empathy on my son.

Then again, I can’t believe how little time I have for doing things I had started out thinking I would do during this sabbatical.  I had hoped to clean out Sharon’s room and turn it into something nice.  I’ve thrown alot of junk in there.  I had hoped to clean up the basement, empty out the attic and maybe even the garage. 

I’ve spent more time in the campus library then I do with Ed and this weekend is going to be even worse.  How do these students manage absorbing all this info?  Just thinking about all the information I need to remember makes me dizzy.  Maybe I can claim the bird ate my book or I got stuck in an elevator all weekend and didn’t have my books on me?

Oh well, thank god its friday……but which to choose to do? studying? or  lemon drop martini? studying? or lemon drop martini? studying? or lemon drop martini? lemon drop martini? l e mmmmmmmm  ooo hot m artinnnnnnnnnnnniii
