Anatomy is done! I passed. It's amazing.
After the final on Friday, I essentially just collapsed. Then went out and got drunk. Then collapsed again.
The worst thing about anatomy exams: the practicals. Every cadaver in the dissection room has something tagged with a piece of red string and a question asking what it is or what it does. Everyone starts at one station, gets one minute to answer, and rotates to the next. Practicals themselves are not awful. Studying for them is annoying because you have to spend hours looking at cadavers. The awful thing is that after spending 3 hours taking a written exam in the morning, you have to come back and spend another hour taking the practical in the afternoon. It's like the professors think we actually slept the night before and can handle two exams in one day.
But it's over now. I should stop complaining. Next we spend a week on behavior and then start the next real class: biochemistry. (Please, Academic Gods, please let med school biochem be the same as undergrad biochem.)
