Time skip to Christmas would be GREAT

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure final exams should not make it so I wish I could crawl into the fetal position and die on my carpeted floor. I mean, finals aren't supposed to be the most joyous of times, like Christmas is, but I'm fairly certain life shouldn't be this difficult before I'm even into my second decade.

My Anatomy 2 exam should not be SO cumulative that he's taking questions from Chapter 1, which I learned in Anatomy 1. I mean, yeah it carries over, but seriously? Every little detail of every single chapter in my extremely heavy and entirely too factual textbook is a possibility? Bear in mind it's a 100 question exam, but wait, it gets better.

My Anatomy teacher, Lord help my soul, decided in the good nature of his German soul to not only grant us the honor of one final exam, but two. No, neither exam is optional. Both are mandatory. One, which encompasses Anatomy 1&2, bear in mind there is the physiology aspect as well, which is a standardized test some dignitaries elsewhere have made. This exam is the 100 question one mentioned previously. My other exam is 50 questions of my teacher's creation which focuses on the last four chapters we have learned.

Due to this benevolent grace of God my Kaiser has given to me, I am sent into a whirlwind of emotions. Do I attempt to CRAM every minute detail of A&P 1&2 or do I focus on the last four chapters specifically? I had the slightest inch of hope when I figured, "Hey, how bad could the 100 question test be? It's not like it's going to be very specific, like 'which rib is my favorite rib?!'" Unfortunately, my teacher dashed me hopes against the algae-infested shore, by revealing that the minuscule of details will also be tested upon.

Needless to say, on top of all of my other exams I will be having this week, this Anatomy dual-wielded exam is my toughest foe. It's hardly fair to come into a sword fight when I'm equipped with a toothpick - that's the best way I can describe this feeling of hopelessness I have.

My exam is on Tuesday from 730-10 AT NIGHT.

That will be my dying day =(

  1. I want to say that your battle against this test sounds kinda one sided but epic too!

    What can you expact he teaches at Hodges university. Plus a test spanning 2 semesters is really unfair and uncalled for, I'm surprised that the school hasn't stepped in and said "um listen we know that in the motherland(hodges university) you guys are very uptight serious and crazy, butttt thats just not how we do it here! You need to calm the F down and stop handing out so many F's.. your not Mr. Krocker"

  2. Seriously.

    He says the Health Sciences board supports the use of the HAPS CE exam for the end of Anatomy 2, but I think he lied and killed off his superiors so he can tote his Hodges bag around a little longer.

  4. It is a cruel twist of fate this comes right before Christmas.

    Also, your description, though horrifying to have to live out, was extremely awesome and epic.
