"What was I about to do?"

I just finished my second week of school and I also took my first Anatomy and Physiology test today. I think I did pretty well but I won't know my score until Wednesday. Studying is something that is fairly new to me because I never had to in the past. I was always a great test-taker as long as I paid attention in class. I'm not bragging though because most things were forgotten soon after the test was over. A&P is not one of my strong subjects, to say the least. So I have to cling to every word being taught AND spend a considerable amount of time studying. The fact that the massage program is super accelerated doesn't help because everything is just being crammed into my head. Consequently, I find myself doing things like...getting ready to take a shower and then forgetting about the shower before I make it to the bathroom. (I remember after a few minutes so don't think I'm walking around smelly...maybe in a couple months :-)) You should see me when I'm cleaning the house! I have to pause in between tasks so that I can remember what I was doing. My brain is too busy trying to remember things like...the lateral pterygoid muscle inserts into the mandible and the temporomandibular joint capsule. I'm certainly out of my element for the time being. Hopefully my brain can adjust and retain information (new and old) a little more efficiently. I'm sure it will get more difficult in the days to come so please keep me in your prayers. The massage part...lovin it! I'm learning so much and that class is so much easier. So in spite of the complex A&P class, I believe I'm well on my way!
