So this week existed of 2 first exams - Microbiology and Physiology. Microbiology wasn't too bad. I have been sick this week and wondered if I would hold up long enough to finish studying for both exams. The Micro exam was mostly about Strep and Staph infections. Did you know that the same Strep bug that causes Strep throat can also cause Rheumatic Fever and Scarlet Fever? In clinic on Tuesday, I also learned that both of those illnesses still occur in the US. I never hear about them so I thought they were like the measles or rubella - guess not. :-)
Physiology is very complex. If you ever wanted to know how you can be dehydrated and still have to go to the bathroom, this is the class to take. It is very interesting and, at first, I was having a hard time pulling all the pieces together, but yesterday a lot of the pieces started falling together. The exam was all short answer with a few multiple choice. A note on the multiple choice though - these questions had more than one answer so the questions was really - "circle any of the following options". You can't even narrow down your options with that! :-) The exam was hard but I felt I understood the material. I learned from this test that I need to prepare a little differently for the next exam. Live and learn, right?
Tonight I start playing on an indoor soccer team. I haven't played in YEARS - 4 or so - tonight will be interesting. Thankfully there are enough players to have a couple subs so I won't have to play the whole time. I fully expect to be sore tomorrow and maybe regret the decision to play :-)
Thankful for the weekend - ahhhh.
