What a week. The beginning of it, which started with our second exam, feels like it was weeks ago! Grades are ~80% set at this point meaning that, if you’ve done well up to this point, finding the motivation to study can be difficult. We started the final unit with a lecture on cranial osteology, the face, muscles of mastication, and muscles of the anterior neck. Dissection was tedious, but mostly successful. Oh and we also removed our cadavers’ brains. Well, at least those groups whose brains were well preserved got to remove them (my cadaver’s sadly was not). That’s about all I can muster in academia.
The week was mostly a social one. If my mother could read this, she would probably be disappointed with my lack of studying. The week started with a game night, a sunset viewing at my favorite view of Richmond, and just ended with a morning hike/swimming hole time. Writing quality is at an all-time low here as I try not to fall asleep at 5pm. I’m substituting quality writing for pictures this week. Cheap trick, I know.

I’m struck by how (mostly) seamlessly everything related to our class has gone. PT is an innately social career so I guess it makes sense that we get all get along without issues. And of course, time sure has flown by. There will be one last update next week and maybe one final wrap-up of Gross Anatomy to close it off. Anyways, I’ll plan on more structured posts moving forward, but less frequently. That’s all I’ve got for today!
