Hey everyone!!! Thank God its Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week has been absolutely hectic. Next week is going to be even worse. We have 2 weeks have class left, then finals start. I have like 4 tests next week, and even more tests next next week. I don’t have too much to say today, but I did register my classes for next semester. Here they are:
The Gift of Prophecy – This is a religion class that is required. I think the class is about Ellen G. White, and how she received visions from God.
Art Appreciation – A really really stupid required core class. It better not take up too much of my time.
Histology – From what I’ve heard from my upper classmen friends, this class isn’t too hard, but its just a crazy amount of memorization of all the tissues and stuff.
Histology Lab
Plant Biology– Now I know that I could just be being very close minded, but I really can’t see myself enjoying this class. I want to be a doctor who takes bullets out of patients, I really don’t care too much about photosynthesis and the different genre of vegetation. I’m only taking this class because it is required as a biology major.
Plant Biology Lab– This lab is for 3 hours on a Sunday!!! This adds to my dislike for the class. Not only is it on Sunday, but the lab starts at like 8 a.m. on Sunday!!!
Introduction to Research– In this class, we basically pair with a teacher of our choice, and they help us develop and write a proposal for our own research project. Its good if you plan to go into research, but as a physician I don’t see myself writing too many proposals. Anyway, its required for my major, that’s why I’m taking it.
Mammalian Anatomy I– THIS CLASS IS GONG TO BE SO TIGHT!!!!!. Yeah, Oakwood is one of the few undergraduate institutions that have cadavers in their science department. The lady who teaches this class, used to teach Gross Anatomy to the medical students at Loma Linda University, so basically we are getting taught the same way. That is why Oakwood graduates do so well their freshman year in med school, because they have already taken Gross Anatomy basically. So yeah, usually this class is reserved seniors, but I caught wind, that Dr. Maulsby (the teacher) was in need of lab instructors, because basically she was running every single mammalian lab (there are about 8 of them). Usually lab instructors are hard to find, since most of the students take the class their senior year, but every once and awhile, she lets some juniors in, if they promise to be a lab instructor their senior year. So that’s what I’m doing, and I’m so excited. DISECTING CADAVERS!!! Of course, this class requires ridiculous memorization of all the body parts, muscle insertions and origins, bones, etc. But I’m really excited, and plus I get to wear scrubs to class ( I know it sounds stupid).
Mammalian Anatomy Lab
So yeah, that’s my schedule for next semester. I think that I’ll be taking like 18 hours, but of course that doesn’t include the labs which don’t count for any hours, even though they each usually last for 3 hours per session. My girlfriend flew home to Maryland for the weekend, so I’ll be lonely this weekend, sniff sniff. Anyway, I’ll hit yall up later if anything else interesting happens.
