So, my second semester of school at UMHB begins tomorrow. To be honest, I'm a little nervous, probably because I now know what to expect. Despite the work load and serious lack of sleep it's so rewarding and worth the long hours. I'll be the first to admit that I am a bit of a nerd. I love new notebooks and pens fresh from the box at the beginning of the school year. I enjoy typing notes after each class, especially A/P :) I'm the kind of girl that completely over-prepares for tests by studying five days before the actual exam. My favorite place to study is at Starbucks. Oh goodness it's wonderful. I get my usual grande non-fat sugar-free caramel macchiato then find a table in the back corner by a window. Then, I take out a variety of pens, pencils, highlighters, sharpies, etc. Next, I lay out my notebook filled with pages and pages of notes, both handwritten and typed. I usually study two chapters per day, especially for anatomy, becuase otherwise I get too onerwhelmed and am unable to retain any information. This trend generally helps me do very well on exams. Now, this does not happen for every class. Last semester for sociology I studied maybe 30 minutes for each test and still pulled off an A :) I LOVE those classes because you don't have to pay attention in class, barely study, and still manage to get an A. Those classes are the best!!
Today will be a great day for relaxation! My two best friends here at UMHB, Nicole and Mary, are both back. We don't have much planned, besides our usual Sunday Walmart runs...those are always very entertaining :) Right now, though, I'm just sitting in bed sipping some coffee and watching One Tree Hill. What a great morning! I will update tomorrow letting you know how the first day went. Have a lovely day :)
