full of vexation come I

Ugh. That anatomy exam was a LOT harder than I thought it would be. If I passed, it was by the skin of my teeth. Though everyone else seemed to be in the same boat, so if we all do appallingly then hopefully they'll scale the marks. I REFUSE to come back from Greece to stare at more corpses because I couldn't remember the name of the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (which I couldn't).

Okay, before studying any more I'm going to relax for a couple of hours with tea and A Midsummer Night's Dream (you know, the one in which Calista Flockhart tries very hard to speak Shakespeare and Kevin Kline kicks ass (heh) as Bottom and there's ANNA FRIEL/DOMINIC WEST mmmyesplease). It is kind of ridiculous how much of this play is still stuck in my memory from when I was ELEVEN.

Woo, fairies.

Fairies, yay! *pats you carefully*

Tea and random Shakespeare sound like the perfect relaxation therapy.

Rupert Everett is a delicious Oberon, but I feel as though making fairy jokes about him is not very polite.

BUT STILL. DELICIOUS.

If it makes you feel any better, I just came off a crash course of all the anatomy in the human body in ten weeks.

You're ahead of me, then, we still haven't done the abdomen or pelvic regions. Or most neuroanatomy.

[pirateygoodness.livejournal.com]

Oh, we do neuro separately, too.

But my school's approach is basically a boot-camp-like blitz of HOLY FUCK CADAVERS the second you start first year. Right now we're starting on resp and cardio physiology, which is like a gentle break, and we don't do any pathology until second year.

I am in awe of both of you. Seriously.
