Ø List your own quote, favorite saying, song, or other expression of your feelings today.
My favorite saying if WTF????? I really don't have any favorite songs, just whatever i feel like listening to because of the mood I'm in. I am so confused right now. There is a lot going on in my life and I don't know how to control it. i have always been the one in control of everything, keeping my composure and knowing what to do and when to do it. My life is so haywire right now that I can't really function normally and it is really getting to me.
Ø List initial observations of your new environment.
I have noticed that my new classes are way harder than the ones that I had last semester and that I may not pass as easily as I did before.
Ø List initial observations of your classes.
My classes absolutely suck. Thank goodness I have made friends in them so I have people to lean on for support.
Ø What observations have you made about other students?
I have noticed that there are people struggling just as much as I am and then there are others that really don't care what happens to them.
Ø About your instructors?
Some instructors really seem to care while others do not.
Ø What do you think will be your biggest challenge(s) academically this semester?
my biggest challenges this semester will be anatomy and chemistry.
Ø Reiterate a term or concept you learned in Anatomy this week.
the skin has four or five layers depending on where you are looking. Only the palms and the soles of the feet have 5 and that makes them thick skin, while the other part are thin skin because they only contain 4 layers.

none really stood out at me, to be honest. i liked all of it

Excellent technique as far as your notes are concerned of marking what Profs have stressed in class - I'll bring that up in class, I've never thought of that before!
ReplyDeleteYes this will be a struggle balancing family, commute, classes, studying etc.. but you seem to be pretty motivated and like you said it was brilliant of you to make friends in classes so you can study together etc..
10/10 Great job!
