Just took my second anatomy practical of the semester about one hour ago and this picture pretty well sums up how I'm feeling about it. Its as I were Calvin, flexing my muscles, teeth gritted and jaw clinched with determination and the feeling that I'm on top of the world. All the while oblivious to the fact that Hobbes (anatomy practical) was behind me pulling faces, giving me bunny ears and inevitably preparing to yank down my trousers in front of the class.
I actually feel very confident that I did very well. This practical was over the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems and I spent approximately 11 hours over the last three days in the anatomy lab studying. It's nice to go into tests like that feeling very prepared and confident. Truth be told, it has been a long time since I went into an exam with my confidence at that level. Now I must wait in agony for my results to come back and hope that my anatomy won't be exposed to the masses.
Less than a week left in the semester for me here at the Coo and I am certain that my grades will reflect well on my choice to return to school. What amazing blessings the Lord gives us when we ask and follow His will! My plan is to finish out strong and then head down to Rome, Georgia to watch the USF Cougar Football Team in the NAIA National Championship game. This is a rematch of last years game between USF and Carroll College (winners of the last 5 of 6 Chippers) when the Fighting Saints beat the Cougars 17-9 in Savannah, Tennessee. Time for a little revenge, even if my old high school teammate Marshall McEwen does play for Carroll.
(Sidenote: it will be a lot of fun to get to see Marshall and his parents, Rock and Sandy, down in Rome. They were very good to me during my playing days at good ol' Wheatland High School, allowing me a place to stay between two-a-day practise and after long road trips when I was to tired to drive back to Chugwater. A great friend and a great family that I don't get to see all that often.)
Hope I am finding you all well. Thanks so much for the love and prayers sent my way. They are neither going unacknowledged, nor to waste.
Cheers.
