the start of fall

well well well, its been a little while since I have written. Partly due to it being my Summer break and partly due to not having anything to write about.

Physiology

We started class with Physiology. Our professor is from the Philippines and talks as fast as those guys on the radio talking about the small print in car dealership ads. So not only is his English not the best, he talks at warp speed. So it should be a tough year! He also says he doesn’t like to grade curves. At first we thought he meant on a curved grading scale, but then he said he only likes to grade with the 3 stroke approach. Which just confused and scared most of us. WTF is the 3 stroke approach???? So he then goes on to demonstrate…

the curves

B: has curves in it

C: has curves in it

D: has curves in it

now for the 3 stroke approach

A: takes 3 strokes to make the A symbol

F: also takes 3 strokes

So basically he wants you to either get an A or fail, which is ok in my opinion I don’t plan on getting anything lower than an A anyway’s.

Biomechanics

Next came Biomechanics with Dr. B. He was our anatomy teacher over the summer, so we all felt at home with him and his teaching methods. It will be a hard class, but we all feel comfortable with him and his teaching style so its not a big shock to us, not like our Physiology teacher is!

Lunch!

Patient care principles

We had Dr. Pitt, who is the head of our program. She taught us Psychosocial last semester. It will be ok, it basically medical terminology and all the small detail stuff with running a clinic.

Now it wouldn’t be a full day at school if they didn’t change something on us without warning and today was no exception. They switched our schedule around a bit. Now we have Human development for 3 solid hours in a row instead of 2 hours on Thurs and 1 hour on Tues. Seriously shoot me!
