Contrary to what I can only assume to be popular belief, I am alive and well.
Much to my surprise, or at least cautiously optimistic belief, I successfully defeated the modular of Brain and Behavior. A nine week behemoth, it was advertised to be the most challenging module of the first two years of school- a reputation it seemed both pleased to have and eager to maintain. The most enjoyable result of being done? No more anatomy. A year ago we started in the cadaver lab and have sense made our way from the heart and lungs, through the GI tract, all around the GU system, up and down the extremities, and lastly into the brain, head, and neck. While dissection lab was usually pretty nice and a change-up from regular lecture, it's really nice to be freed from the afternoon time commitment and additional exams.
We're now into the module of Blood and Lymph which is going fairly well; it's very pathology focused which might mean a test that has its devil in the details. I still want nothing more (going on 2 weeks later) than to revel in the joy of being done with B&B, but have decided to get back to the grindstone. If I'm going to dance on the grave of this semester, I want to be damned sure it's dead. I don't know if it's cold in the ground just yet.
So that's what's going on. Fiction writing is still happening, slowly, but I am currently planning on waiting to post more until I have a better story formed. If I had more time, I'd like to be able to finish NaNoWriMo on time. I suppose with my late start, it'll just be a two/three/four month excursion for me. I mean, I'm a little busy with not shaving this month...
It is November, after all...
Until next time.
