Fall Semester

I made it through Summer Anatomy with a B. After all, a B is the new A, right? Anyway, it was probably the toughest thing I have ever had to do. If I had to give tips to upcoming OT students who were afraid of this class they would be:

1) Think of it as a model, not a person.
2)Use a mask from the beginning to prevent headaches and odor.
3)Put hand lotion in your locker, because you will start to hate the smell of the soap in the lab
4)Use mints or hard candy to keep you mouth moist (Don't lick your lips, trust me!)
5)Use afternoon time to review structures to that point so that you don't get behind.
6)Lastly, don't worry you will get used to it.

Well, we only had two days of classes this week, so I haven't been introduced to all of my classes yet. Most of them so far seem pretty manageable and sound very interesting. I can't wait to dive into them. There has only been one so far that seems like it is going to really challenge my organizational skills. If I can stay organized, I think I will do fine. I will blog again later in the Fall as classes continue.
