Day 1 & Day 2

So it's begun! I have waited so long for this, and to have it finally here is exciting. As the days got closer to beginning 1st trimester, friends in upper tri's said they felt bad that I had to go through the beginning 3 trimesters, the hardest of the 10. Most students dread these inconceivably hard first 3 tri's because the work load can cripple you if you take your eye off it for a few seconds.

I'm currently taking 31 credits

Neuroanatomy(with a Lab)
Embryology
Gross Anatomy(with a Lab)
Spinal Anatomy
Rights & Responsibilities
Information literacy
Biochemistry(with a Lab)
Philosophy
Neurophysiology


So far things are going good. We are in class from 7:30am to about 4:00pm and sometimes 5:30pm for Labs. I have to say that I'm really excited about the material being taught. It is so interesting. Well, most of the material is interesting. I would drop Biochemistry in a heartbeat if I could. It is by far the craziest class. I have never been a big chemistry buff, and to have taken 4 classes of chemistry already.... I really don't want another 2 of biochemistry. We have roughly about 140 to 150 students in our class not including the students who are retaking courses, so that usually bumps our class sizes up to about 170 or so.

Right now I am learning how to time manage better than ever. To be able to take such a load of credits one must plan out study time everyday. I'm really excited to wake up everyday to learn the new information. Most of my professors have been at the school for over 30 years and publish in some of the most highly ranked publications on chiropractic in the world. They are specialties in their fields to say the least. Most come to class motivated to share the knowledge with us and motivate us to be just as excited.

So far Palmer is great, a lot of work but great.
