Anatomy & Physiology TEST 2

Lecture exam this morning is finally over. Have A&P LAB exam Thursday, those never go well. The test got me thinking...all of this memorization is not helping me get ready for nursing school. Nursing school is about actually u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d-i-n-g the material and being able to APPLY it to everydaylife situations! I have got to figure out a way to change the way I approach A&P so that I will beable to translate all this memorization into real knowledge...But that's for later. Right now, I need to get a B in A&P so that I don't have to take A&P next semester in grad school ((this will give me Fridays off!!!))

No Turning Back

I mailed my acceptance letter and fee to Ivy1! I have yet to mail my "thanks, but no thanks" letters out...

A friend of mine got into several MA/PhD programs in organizational psychology - including the top three in the country and I am so excited for her, but her financial aid packages are PHENOMENAL. I mean OUTRAGEOUS. I mean FREE + yearly salary. How does this happen. At what point did America decide that they would pay people to be in Humanities, Social Science, and Biological (or otherwise "HARD" science) programs leading to a graduate degree, but not other majors? I don't get this at all. I know there is a "professional students will be able to pay back their loans" general argument, but, technically, so will a Phd in Biology, right? Maybe they think that with all the loan repayment programs, they don't need to offer us the same deal? It's frustrating.
