class tips...

If I remember right, they told us that our anatomy course is taught by the same PA that teaches the med students anatomy, with a focus on the head and neck.

As far as study tips, I am doing good just to keep my head above the water right now. If I come up with any miracles I will let you know!

The best advice I can offer is take it one day at a time. You will stress yourself out if you think about all the work that needs to be completed in two weeks. Either you can study one subject for a few hours, or you can study a few subjects for one hour each. I always completed my careplan first, then ate dinner and relaxed, then studied, then relaxed some more. I didn't study past 9pm either. On the weekends, I would grab a bunch of my books and notebooks and go to caribou with my ipod and read my text or my notes, have lunch, study some more. Reading takes a long time, so I found the weekends perfect for this. I actually liked it because after sleeping in (8am) and doing errands, I could spend a long time at the coffee shop with no other commitments. I still went out at night, but school will discipline you over time and make you tired a lot earlier, so it was rare I had late nights. The other good advice I can give you is to get as much bullcrap work out of the way in the beginning of a semester. You're first weekend, don't relax b/c there's not much to do. Get all of the stupid papers, journal reviews, busy work started at least. It helped a lot.

thx phishin and jewel - great advice and will definitely take it for what it's worth. i got my lecture outline yesterday and, whoo boy, not looking forward to as much now.. but like you said, jewel, one day at a time... i will be sure to cry on this forum at some point, and i'm sure sooner than later..
