Midterms hit me like a brick to the head

Since I started school in September, I've been dreading these next few weeks. My first midterm is this Thursday, an anatomy and physiology test on Chapters 1-11 (including microbiology and histology which just kills me, I say if you can't see it with you're naked eye, then it doesn't exist! haha). I also have an assignment due Thursday. Then next Tuesday I have a midterm on all the skills I've learned thus far, like blood pressure, pulse, hygiene, determinants of health for every age group, etc. Following that I have a in-class essay that Wednesday, and a lab exam on the Friday (which I'm told is the hardest exam I'll ever take in my life. Great.) And every week following that one, I have at least 2 papers due a week until December 14. Gasp!

All I do is eat and sleep and study and study and study. It's incredibly grueling and I dream of a day off but don't know when I'll get it.

So, that's why you haven't heard from me lately, and that's why you probably won't again for a few days. I'll let you knowhow everything goes though, as I suffer through it.

I can NOT wait for Christmas!
