Oct. 11, 2011

First final down!!  It was Health Assessment, which was a fairly easy final.  I still hate being one of the first two people done (it's always me and this other girl), because it makes me second-guess myself and wonder if I actually knew the material as well as I thought I did.

So, I hung out after the test to wait for my clinical group for our short meeting before the presentation tomorrow.  Once we all finished and got together, we sat down and reviewed what we had for the presentation up to that point.  Everyone seemed satisfied, and there were only a few minor things that needed to be changed.

I went home and made the few adjustments, added a few pictures, and voila!  A presentation was finished and sent out to the group for final approval.

Then, I spent the rest of the afternoon reviewing my notes for pathophysiology, taking time to handwrite the most important pieces of information from each section.  It takes time, but it really helps me in a few ways.  First, I am reviewing all the notes but only pulling out the most important points and writing it in my own words, essentially explaining it to myself in my own terminology.  Second, handwriting stuff always helps me remember it better.

So, one final down (94%, by the way!) and two more to go.
