winter is returning...
it's a winter wonderland outside! it was snowing when i woke up and continued all day. i don't know how much we have, but it would be measured in inches, thats for sure. already at 7:30 this morning all the schools in what seemed to be central wisconsin were closed... all EXCEPT the university which i attend. close the university? never. i do believe i was told that 5 years ago school was cancelled one day... but for the most part, a UWSP school closing is major news... like write it down in the history books news. so no... we got a friendly letter from the chancellor saying we should use extreme caution. extreme caution eh? extreme caution in my mind would be 'don't leave your room' but hey, i'm not the chancellor. choir did get cancelled, and ice skating is optional when the stevens point schools are closed, but all my not fun classes continued as scheduled. the darn comm d professors are just too hardy. tomorrow our temp high is supposed to be 9 degrees and tomorrow night... the low expected is -17! yeah that's pretty freaking cold. ahh wisconsin... how i love thee.
in other news... ashley and i have been studying anatomy like crazy for the past few days for the dreaded exam tomorrow. i can't say that i'm feeling confident, but on the verge of slightly comfortable may fit the situation. i've got the physiology concepts and terms and stuff down... it's just all those muscles. 28 muscles with their origin, insertion, course and function. i know they're all in my head, but really, a body isn't that big, so many muscles overlap in their origins. so remembering that it's the serratus posterior inferior that originates in T11-T12, L1-L3 and courses superior and lateral to insert into ribs 7-12, not the subcostal or any other posterior thorax muscle for expiration... or merely remembering where the heck something originates and inserts... will be a true test. good luck to me? we'll see how well i fare tomorrow. t'will be a lovely day: phonetics quiz, poli sci quiz, then anatomy quiz- all in a row. i may not survive, i may get buried under snow, but we'll see. until then... i bid you adieu.

show off. i wonder if my body has all that stuff in it.
i doubt it... i bet only the diagrams in my anatomy book have all the parts they make me learn.
