Neither one of us got a lot of sleep. Marie was unsettled by
the storm. When I woke up to my alarm, I took a piss and went straight for the
coffee machine, pouring myself a large cup. I
fucking love coffee. After my shower, I reviewed the parts of the digestive
system as I ate breakfast. I was packing up when Bella came down with a very
grumpy Marie. I kissed them both before I darted out of the house to the lab
for my exam. If I finished early enough, I could possibly get a nap in my car
before my Health Care Disparities class.
My day flew by, as did my night. Harold was adamant on
meeting to review for the midterm in our classes. So, after having a rushed
dinner with my family in the student center, I spent nearly six hours reviewing
parts of the body and equity issues in the health care system with five
twenty-two year olds. When my eyes were crossing, I said that I had to go. My
group wanted me to stay, but I wanted to sleep in my own bed.
The next day, we received our grades for the practical and I
had gotten the best score. I had missed two questions, confusing two major
veins. Then, our professor began his exuberant explanation of the renal system
and the wonders of our kidneys. I took detailed notes, in a notebook. The rest
of my class all had laptops, tablets and iPads. I loved technology, but having
it at your fingertips was a distraction. I did have my MacBook in my bag, but I
preferred taking notes in a notebook. It helped me retain the information
better.
Class was dismissed with the promise of an exciting day in the lab, dissecting a kidney. I packed up my belongings, walking to my next class before lunch.
