I am sorry about the lack of blogs this semester…second
semester is kicking all of our butts. We
actually have fewer classes than first semester but it is a whole lot more
work!! I wish I could post about the
wonderful beach trips and dinners we have had but sadly our days start at
6:30am daily (classes start at 8:00) and we usually don’t get home till 6:30
but my grades are doing well so I can’t complain.
Let me update you on what has happened since the last blog. I ended up getting a perfect score on my
anatomy quiz which I am very excited about (only 5% of my grade though). On Friday
afternoons I have signed up to play beach volleyball with our team Sets on the Beach. Friday beach volleyball a very popular hangout
place and a perfect way to distress after a long week of school. I am having a blast with our team and glad
none of us take it serious. There is a a
league and b league for volleyball. A
league is for the competitive teams and a lot of the team are EXCELLENT, b league
is for players that pass the ball with one hand and hold a cold beer in the
other. Even though I played volleyball
since I was 10 in both high school and college, I enjoy playing with my b
league. We don’t care if we win or lose…we
just want to have a good time. Saturday
of week 2 is also the most look forward to fundraiser of the semester,
Beachfest!! Beachfest is when pretty
much all of the Ross students get together at Regge beach and play volleyball,
hang out and consume some alcoholic beverages.
Even in the middle of January we can go to the beach here and have a
wonder time with all of our classmates!! Too bad beachfest has been the last
time we have gone to the beach due to studying!!
Week 3 was full of studying and preparing for our 2 exams in
week 4. We did get to celebrate our new
roommate for next semester’s birthday at Lobsterfest!! It is at a local beach
and you get a choice of 2 meats (lobster, ribs, shrimp and chicken) and all the
sides you can eat. It was a GREAT time
and I hope Kelly enjoyed her birthday even with the surprise cupcake and trick candles.
Week 4 brought our first 2 major exams for 2nd
semester: physiology 2 and parasitology.
For anyone that has attended Ross or is planning to attend Ross,
everyone knows the one of the hardest professors teaches physio 2. It is not that he is a bad professor, he is actually
one of my favorite and explains everything very well but he makes sure you
totally understand the subject and writes very hard tests. I am proud to say on his first exam I pulled
off a B+. 2 days later was our
parasitology test and I wish I would have studied more for that subject. I felt very unsure after I had finished the
test. I felt like I was prepared for the
exam but I did not study the level of detail that I should of. I studied more of ranges of life spans and
egg sizes rather than the exact numbers…oh well, I now know for the next
exam! I pulled off a C+ (which is my
lowest grade since coming here) but I would MUCH rather have to pull up my parasitology
grade than my physio grade.
Spending my Saturday in anatomy lab and playing catch up in
a few of my classes and then going out to dinner at Ciao with Sam and
Katie. Hopefully we can go to the beach tomorrow
and get some much needed vitamin D but lots of studying to do!!
This coming week we have our anatomy exam and the next week
in immunology…lots of studying ahead.
My mom is coming down here in less than 2 weeks and I can’t
wait to see her!! Until the next blog…
