Pay Back STINKS!

My least favorite professor (for reasons I won't expand upon) gave a histology lecture on the circulatory system. Now don't get me wrong, there are some things that she does very well: she is a good lecturer, her power point presentations are well put together and for the most part she has a wealth of knowledge. Her training is in cellular biology and I'm sure she is more than qualified to give a lecture on the cells of the circulatory system; however, it obviously is not her area of expertise and it showed. She also tends to ask incredibly detailed questions about things that she does not stress in her lecture (she is also told us NOT to know the details about things and test us on them). Anyway, people asked her a lot of questions--very detailed and well thought out questions. It was obvious that she didn't know this information in as much detail as she knew the previous topics she taught because she was getting very flustered and kept saying things were very complicated, Physiology would address, or even "ask Dr. Yin." I guess she knows how I feel when I try to answer her questions on the exam!! Pay back stinks....especially when you are lecturing in front of 480 students and being video taped. Maybe if she didn't ask nit picky questions about things she didn't stress, students wouldn't be asking nit picky questions during her lectures. The only thing I'm afraid of is that we asked things she didn't think to ask before and that we screwed ourselves for the next exam---she doesn't need any ideas!

We had our Histology practical exam on Thursday and our second big exam yesterday. I think it was okay, but I don't want to jinks myself (remember 47% of our class failed EVERY subject on the last exam). Obviously, I want a 4.0 but (obvioulsy again) medical school is HARD and I just need to pass.

Here is one advantage of studying in the Caribbean. Sitting on your balcony overlooking the ocean, and since there wasn't a cool breeze I brought my fan outside.
