Well, my pathology exam is now over, and I think I did a little better than ok. Now to concentrate on functional human anatomy.....and there is soooo much to remember all the muscles, their origin, insertion, action and nerve and blood supply along with all the bones and everything they do and what they support, protect and function as....books everywhere....

I'm aiming to be a forensic anthropologist, which is basically someone who identifies victims by their skeletal remains, so there's a lot to learn.....anatomy, biology, pathology, etc etc

I find it hard to study for a day or two after a chemo treatment....my mind is foggy and my stomach unsettled, not really conducive to absorbing too much information. So for the next day or two, I'll just be relaxing, trying to keep cool (the heat seems to get to more as well after treatment) and hoping my entire garden doesn't fry (we are on strict water restrictions and only allowed to water gardens Sunday's and Wednesday's). But an opportunity to catch up on some crappy tv and non-study type of music, out comes Radio Birdmen etc

Functional human anatomy is just full on....I love it but there is soooo much to take in, the heat's still making my mind hazy and hard to concentrate, but I need to, my last exam is fast coming up on this Friday and now I'm finding myself having very strange dreams....don't know if it's an expression of exam stress, the heat or something else. But, I'm a big believer in trying to listen to what my dreams tell me, and frankly at the moment I can't discern a single bit of sense from them.

I'll be so glad when this last exam is over, I'm dreaming of anatomy at the moment and in this heat it's not making for the most restful nights. I can't think of anything else at the moment...but, I'm back to the Dr tomorrow as well, so that will at least break up the routine of study a bit, in that I get to study in the Dr's office and not at home....LOL

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and brighter (well for this year anyway). In less than 15 hours my last exam for the year will be over, I probably won't sleep at all tonight, I'm a bit too hyped, but I did try and get some sleep today.

All exams over for yet another year. A final draft of an essay is all I've left to do. Major tension headache at the moment.

There are days in my life when I am so fully aware as to why I prefer to spend a large portion of my life with the dead. I'm tired of people and their pettiness. I'm tired of people who create problems when it should be simple, those who think that their way is the only way, those that are arrogant and selfish, those that think that the world revolves around them, those that can't stand the thought of ever being wrong and will fight tooth and nail even when they are obviously wrong and those that just can't accept that we are all human. One of the things my work has taught me to fully appreciate is that death is a great equaliser. No one, regardless of their wealth, knowledge, power or strength is different in death. The smell of death is the same, the feel of death is the same and even at the cellular level it's all the same. Sure there are differences in death....some die from disease or injury, others merely expire, but one thing that is certain is that regardless of who you are or who you think you are everyone will end up in my hands or the hands of someone just like me and no favourites will be played, the treatment and care received will be the same for rich and poor, the same for smart and dull, the same for young or old.
I have learnt that regardless of our differences we are all human, we all bleed the same coloured blood and it is only in our living time that we are able to be individuals. What we forget when we are so wrapped up in our own uniqueness is that despite our individuality we are all human and we would all be better served if tolerance and acceptance were a greater part of our everyday, and yet, we spend our time creating and inflaming petty conflict and wind up preventing ourselves from making the very connections that could enhance our lives. I prefer the dead on days like these, they don't complain and they never ever feel the need to argue for the sake of it....there is an honesty and truth in death that cannot be mistaken for anything else.....
End of today's rant.....

I'm experiencing the full gamut of the bitter sweetness of life....My son is away at school camp until Monday and it's given me a chance to really get to know the man in my life and the more I learn the more I like him. The problem is that he lives in Florida, and although he has decided to extend his stay here for another 3-4 weeks the day will come when he has to return. I intend to enjoy this while I can but there is a certain sadness as I know that I will never want to live in the USA (no offence intended). This is my home and after travelling extensively in my younger years I know that Australia is the only place I want to be. We have discussed spending half the year here and half there, but there are problems in that I cannot take my son out of the country without my ex's permission and it's highly unlikely that he'll agree....on the upside in just over 2 years my son can decide who he wants to be with and then we can go......I'm wondering if I can do this for another 2years???? This guy has said he's more than happy to spend 3 months or so of each year here in the meantime and I can spend holidays over there....I'm just a little addled by the whole thing and just need to put it down in print to hopefully gain a little more clarity........
