My truth was #2 I have five piercings.  Since that blog entry it’s actually turned to six piercings.

My Semester

            This semester was definitely easier than last semester, but I guess since I’m not really feeling challenged so I’m getting lazy. The course that took a toll on me last semester was anatomy with Mrs. Urich. It was my fist science college class and I felt like everyone already knew everything since they were all older than me. Everyone in the class had either already been working in the medical field or already had taken previous anatomy classes, so I was always struggling to keep up with them. I guess it motivated me more to prove that I could be on the same level as them. I honestly cried from all the studying I had to do, it would be three hours off bones, muscles, and systems. I had to study for so many hours before a test and it seemed like everyone else just glanced at the book and got 110% while I settled for my 84%. I guess the class taught me better study habits and to not compare your knowledge to others.

            This semester I have English, math, and medical terminology. English class is pretty it is what is it, the work is given with solid directions and you just have to get it done. I had Ms. Crocker last semester and liked her teaching methods so I stayed with her. Math will forever be a hassle with me; I just get lost so easily and I really need to make myself pay attention sometimes. I don’t know math and I never got along. Medical terminology is probably the simplest class I’ve ever had. Since I studied so hard in anatomy I know all the medical roots already and it’s pretty basic for me. Although this semester is easier I’m somehow getting the same grades. I think I need to quit slacking.
