Tuesday means what?! Yep, you guessed it, Patho Quiz/Exam day! Today was a quiz, the last quiz of the term!! And guess what? I just couldn't focus while studying. I really hate it when I have a million other things on my mind and no matter how hard I try, I just can't stay interested and study.
So, needless to say, I felt really crappy about the quiz. There were about 8 questions that I had to come back to. Which was about 1/3 of the test. I was able to reason through most of them. I find that if I look at each answer and write out why I think it's wrong, it is a better way of doing the process of elimination, because I'm actually recalling information. Blech, I just felt so bad about it though.
I couldn't even bring myself to look at the key the professor posts on the wall. BUT -- I only missed one!! Hooray for my reasoning skills and for my dumb luck for guessing!!
Lecture was on the sensory system, but once again, I struggled with staying focused. Usually I can shift gears pretty easily, but I was fixated on how unprepared I felt for the test. There is a lot to know about the sensory system, though, and it's all very intense. It just blows me away how something so small can cause so many problems downstream. I guess this shouldn't still amaze me, but it does.
This evening, I had my lab partner over so we could practice for our Physical Assessment exam. We did pretty good. She's really fast. We have a 30-minute time limit to get a full head to toe assessment done. She was consistently under 25 minutes, and I'm about 27 or 28 minutes. We each did two run-throughs and will practice again on Thursday evening. I'm not really nervous about doing the exam; I'm just worried I'm going to forget something big, like listening to the heart or something!
