I need a break!!

So, tomorrow from 12:00 to 5:00 is the end of this marathon of tests that I've had during the past two weeks. I will be rejoicing if I can pull a C out of it - it's head and neck, which is just so freaking complicated with all of these crazy minute details. (And it was all an evolutionary ACCIDENT, you see - bah.) For some reason, for the first time in my life, I've developed this weird test anxiety. If I come across a question that I don't know, I freak out, and that doesn't bode well for the next couple of questions. And for every question that I do know, I send up a little "Thank You, Lord." Because I would be nothing without Him.

When I was studying two hours ago, I found myself feeling jealous of my cats because they were napping. And then I decided that I was crazy. And then I went back to studying.

But now, I've hit a place where I just want to study for several more hours to pick up more details. Maybe my ridiculous amount of coffee is finally kicking in. But I think it's because our head and neck professor made a big deal out of getting adequate sleep the night before the exam, since it's such a long exam and he doesn't want us falling asleep in the middle of the practical (which we take after the ginormous and scary written part.) Now that I think about it, the practical is ginormous and scary in its own right. And the laboratory portion of head and neck has been one of the most bizarre things that I have ever done in my life.

Our head and neck professor also told us that if he puts a particular question on the test (a point that he's mentioned a million times - about getting popcorn stuck in the vallecula (the area at the back of the tongue) which has the type of nervous sensation that you feel like something is stuck in your throat but you don't know where it is, or in the piriform recesses of the larynx, which has the same type of innervation) and we miss it, he will come to our house, ring the doorbell and run away. Haaaaaaa. I'm very tempted to miss it on purpose just so I can see if he'll really do that. Best. Threat. Ever.

That is all. Back to my notes.
