• So it has been almost a month since my last public post.

  Things have been crazy. 

  But I’ve made it through the semester and I am almost done! I just have my anatomy and physiology final monday. I haven’t been very good about studying for it, but I think I’ll be fine. I love that class, so I’m excited for the 2nd half next semester. It’ll be amazing. My favorite thing this semester is the nervous system. It’s just so strange and abstract. I don’t know. It’s just cool. I think I kind of forced myself to love it after spending time with all these nervous system study charts over Thanksgiving break. HAHAHA. I’ve learned soooooo much just in this class. I love it. I feel like I’ve learned like 10239820985x what I learned at Eastern. Hm…

  So a lot of other exciting things are coming up !

  I’m becoming an official member of my church this coming Sunday. So, I will officially be a member of the Church of the Nazarene. Yay!! I’ve been going to a Nazarene church (I was going to the one by Eastern until I came back home) for over a year now so I’m really happy to finally commit and show that I like the denomination. I never really thought I would become an official member of any particular church, but I just felt like this was right. I agree with them on most things so it’s cool .

  I’m going to a real Channukak party tomorrow!!!! I know, I’m Christian so that sounds weird, but I feel like it’s part of the Christian roots and I wanna celebrate it!!! But I’m going to get the legit experience ! Latkes, dreidel etc. SO MUCH FUN. I will hopefully be really good and study all/most of the day tomorrow before I go tomorrow night. I hope so.

  I’m getting another job (my other one was just for the summer)! My friend’s dad basically owns a store selling stuff and he’s going to hook me up. I start after January 1stish. It’ll be full time during my breaks and part time during the semester. So that is a perfect schedule for me. I might have to adjust after I figure out the nursing program thing, but I haven’t even gotten in yet so I’m not going to worry about that just yet.

  So to close, so I can say that I studied by writing this post….In no particular order is some stuff I learned this semester

  1. Cranial nerves are awesome (I want to say they are probably one of my favorite things for this semester after the Autonomic Nervous system). There are 12 of them in total and 3 are responsible for moving your eyes (Oculomotor,Trochlear, Abducens)! 
  2. The most common joints in your body are synovial joints. Synovial joints have lubricating fluid that decrease the amount of friction between bones. Ex: your elbow or your hip joint
  3. There was a really cool mnemonic device talking about the different types of synovial joints (Please Have Patience Sally Can’t Bowl). Pivot, Hinge, Planar, Saddle, Condyloid, Ball and Socket Ex: your elbow or your hip joint
  4. My favorite muscles: Sternocleidomastoid (moves your neck), Trapezius (upper back muscle that shrugs your shoulders), Gastrocnemius (back of calf)

  Ok, that was harder than I thought it would be. Mostly because I have to strip a single concept down from the main chapter and I have to be like aldjpwoieuraoidjfal how can I make this into a single fact? I don’t know. It’s harder than you would think for some reason…

  Anyway, hope everybody is doing well.
